LIVE WITH A RUSSIAN FAMILY IN ST. PETERSBURG AND TEACH THEM ENGLISH 15 HOURS EACH WEEK.  GeoVisions' Conversation Corps in St. Petersburg provides English conversationalists a chance to live with a Russian family and teach them English. Because of the close proximity of the "students" this will be an amazing adventure of living in your teaching environment. This is a high-energy position. The parents have been working all day and the children have been in school but you still need to come up with fun and enthusiastic ways to teach them English. We provide the materials; you provide the personality to liven up a family class or dinner conversation!
This is also a great program for people who want to experience life in St. Petersburg and the Russian culture in-depth. The program has a focus on cultural exchange and host families are not only excited to learn English but also love to share the characteristics of their amazing country, culture and cuisine.
Conversation Corps volunteers receive instruction on how to teach English, with specific activities for teaching English in a home to a family. GeoVisions includes a 1-day orientation in St. Petersburg. Transportation to the host family is also included.
 St. Petersburg is a city located in the Northwest of Russia on the Neva River at the east end of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea. St. Petersburg enjoys the image of being the most Western European styled city of Russia.
Few cities can offer so many stunning attractions and intriguing moods as St. Petersburg - City of the Tsars.
