Hi,
I am sorry you are having trouble finding a need for tutoring Russian. I am looking to tutor English to struggling students who are having trouble with grammar, spelling, or lit. Anyone know of anything like this in AZ? Thanks.
Lori

James,
thank you very much for the links. I checked them and got no promising
results. Private tutoring is good idea as well but I'm afraid there is no
same need in Russian as in Spanish in DC area. Honestly I didn't try it but
I see the adds
where people looking for English or Spanish.

Thank you very much for your response, regarding children schools, I was
thinking about part time job. Is that possible to hire part time in public
schools?
Also, I tried to do some research on blindness services for kids in
schools, and found that there's an educational county center, I don't
remember exact name, that provide those services such as Braille, mobility
instructions. On my understanding it has to be work requiring travelling
through over a county.

Hi Tatyana,
In addition to the other suggestions, perhaps the Virginia Russian Academy
(in McLean) might yield some successful employment or at least point you in
promising directions::

What does the Russian Academy do?
Perhaps you're near Mclean and therefore know about them.
Do you work near Mclean Heather? I am looking for work.
Tell me off list if you want. I'm not in the education field, but do want
to influence children/youth; so working in an organization which does
outreach to kids or promotes literacy is something that interests me.

Hi,
Yes they do hire part time in public schools; probably not as a teacher; but
you could be an assistant or after school staff person to watch kids.
Some kindergarten classes may hire part time aids.

Subject: Re: [nobe-l] introduction and seeking an advise
Thank you very much for your response, regarding children schools, I was
thinking about part time job. Is that possible to hire part time in public
schools?
Also, I tried to do some research on blindness services for kids in
schools, and found that there's an educational county center, I don't
remember exact name, that provide those services such as Braille, mobility
instructions. On my understanding it has to be work requiring travelling
through over a county.
