Expats moved to Russia to inspire and motivate students | motivational video for teachers

Erika and David’s Russian story is truly inspiring. They teach students to think about the world from a different perspective; to improve critical thinking and team experiences, while finding a way to consolidate modern educational methods and strengths of the current system. Accordingly, students are inspired to believe in themselves, improve study motivation and understand that their opinions and ideas matter and have an actual impact.
Moreover, Erika and David support the community of expatriates in the university and actively help promote it. It’s a necessary task, because Russia’s traditional education system, culture and seemingly harsh climate can be clearly awkward for some foreigners.
This special consideration and motivation for success allows them to solve such different issues effectively. Their approach is: “If you’re going to study and you’re planning to have an intensive intellectual life, you need more isolation.”
It may be hard to believe, but in terms of standards of living, Tyumen holds one of the leading positions in the country. Because of this, the University of Tyumen is considered one of the best educational institutions in Russia.
To this end, the decision of our protagonists to move to Russia and get a job teaching at the School of Advanced Studies is both understandable and intriguing!
