    Getting a job as
    an English teacher
    in Siberia, Russia

    Today, barriers of language, culture and geography divide people around the world. Teaching English abroad will break down those barriers for everyone.

    By teaching with BigAppleSchool, you can help people of all nationalities and ages improve their English, communicate more efficiently, get a better job opportunity and become citizens of the world.

    Why to choose Siberia?

    Siberia — it’s a vast territory stretching out from the Urals till the mountains at the Pacific Ocean coast. Siberia is the only region where you can find the Arctic-Alpine vegetation alongside Northern forests and the steppes.

    The nature of Siberia has a great number of beautiful places, such as Lake Baikal, mountains in Altai, Sheregesh and Krasnoyarsk, as well as forests and fields of Novosibirsk region.

    What makes Novosibirsk unique

    Novosibirsk is the heart of Siberia. As the 3rd largest city in Russia it has everything you can find in a capital — all types of business, industries, culture, etc. At the same time it is a cozy town, which is not as hectic as Moscow or Saint Petersburg.

    Our city is listed in the Guinness World Records book as the fastest growing millionaire city. It is considered the cultural center of Siberia and is recognized as an important cultural sight of Russia.
