Teaching English to the children of Russian Oligarchs/Mobsters

[jimmy olsen]

I found a website that seems to cater this niche demographic.

Salaries run from $4-6,000 a month.

What are Languish's thoughts on this matter? 

[Phillip V]

Seems like good compensation, and there will probably be bonuses and other benefits. Do it.

[Zanza]

Moscow is very expensive to live in. You should inform yourself about cost of living before considering this.

[jimmy olsen]

It's not confined to Moscow, and even if it was isn't Russian GDP per capita is like $13k. I'd be rolling in money.

The next highest salary I've seen for Russia is $2,000 a month and that's for HMBOB's company. These seem to be teaching/tutoring jobs provided and paid for by individual families. People who can blow that kind of money on a private tutor for their kid must be high rollers.

[Josquius]

Yeah、 Moscow is (or was a year or two ago) the most expensive city in to live in the world I heard.
I don't think GDP per capita is too good an indicator of how things are for such an unequal country like Russia. Many cities seem pretty western standard whilst out in the boonies you have people living in third world conditions.

But still, that pay does sound great and teaching is what you want to do. Worth applying anyway to see if you get anywhere.
Strange that company would pay so much....

[Razgovory]

Except it's full of Russians.

Be careful about not pissing them off; in Russia those guys are likely to feel they can get away with murder, no problem.

Like I said, it seems it's a recruiting company for rich families, and my concerns go more towards Wigin's than Zanza's.

You probably need to know Russian to qualify for this job.

[The Brain]

You probably need to know Russian to qualify for this job.

Why?

[Eddie Teach]

You probably need to know Russian to qualify for this job.

Why?

Because the Russian needs his kickbacks or he'll find someone else.

Start up a side business where young Russian women audition for modeling opportunities.

Remember that you cannot fail them unless you want to end up dead.

My kids won a gold, silver and three bronzes at the Chungnam (province level) English contest recently.

We are talking about kids of Russian oligarchs, here. They probably won't even bother listening to you.
