About Us

CET is a British-owned and managed chain of quality language schools operating in a number of locations across Western Siberia. We are currently seeking teachers, a senior teacher for early September starts in our locations in Nizhnevartovsk and/or Tyumen.

About the Area

Nizhnevartovsk is a city of some 500,000 people, situated on the Ob River, east of the Ural Mountains and around 3,000km from Moscow. It is a modern town, built in the 1970s to service the nearby oilfields, and has grown since then into a sizeable city with a good range of shops, bars, restaurants and amenities. The school is situated in a premier location in the centre and caters to adults, teenagers, children, business people and examination classes.

Tyumen is a larger, much older Russian city situated some 800km south of Nizhnevartovsk on the main trans-Siberian railway line. Both towns are surrounded by forest (the Siberian taiga) and it is possible to arrange trips into the wilderness and also to the native settlements there. Western Siberia experiences a climate which varies enormously throughout the year, falling as low as -40c during the winter and rising as high as 40c in the summer.
