Conversation Specialist Needed in Dnipro, Ukraine

Since 2011, Buckeye English has provided useful, interesting and fun English language instruction to corporations, language schools and individual students. Our programs are unique and we are passionate about what we do because we know English can open up new opportunities for our clients. That's exciting!

We have an impeccable reputation and we are the market leader when it comes to native teacher instruction. Our hiring formula is simple: we hire great people, who love people and who are passionate about teaching English.

Ukraine has begun to modernize and make reforms and is trying to find its identity as it continues to separate from historic Russian influences. English teachers are in high demand and students are very excited to learn. We teach in a safe region and do not travel to eastern Ukraine.
