Teaching English for Slavic language speakers.
English as a Second Language (ESL) Teacher in Kyiv:
Pros: Kyiv is a beautiful city with a very rich history. People are friendly and helpful. They are opening up to the globalization which sadly is happening very late in Ukraine. They want to learn English so that they can progress in their professional life and be able to travel abroad.
Cons: You need to be cautious as a foreigner. As like in all cities, you can not trust anyone blindly specially when you are a foreigner.

July 2017
Rewarding, but it requires hardwork.
English as a Second Language (ESL) Teacher in Sacramento:
Pros: I get to interact with students who are from other countries and don't speak English as their primary language. Every day is a new day, filled with new experiences. The cultural diversity in my classroom is the best part about this job. Not only do I teach the students English, but every day they teach me something new about their culture and their language.
Cons: I rarely have any, at most 30 minutes per day, to plan lessons and curriculum. I have to do most of this off work hours. I'm only one teacher, with 50 - 60 students per day. Their English language skills range from low-basic to high-intermediate. The most difficult task at hand is not teaching them the language, but teaching classes with students who all vary in their levels of English proficiency. I can lesson plan for an entire month, but during that month I may have to enroll students who have absolutely no English skills whatsoever, regardless, I'm expected to teach... This can be very frustrating at times...

System.

The system and scheduling is quite different from other schools. It limits where else you can work if you are part time.
