Jake Locke

Having travelled between England and Russia for the past seven years, the idea of living and working in Russia has always been attractive to me. I spent the third year of my degree living in Kazan and this is where my aspiration to become a teacher began. The job at ISM is a perfect opportunity for me to fulfil one of my dreams. I am very excited to be able to work with some of the great, young, international minds at the school. Outside of work, I have spent time travelling around Russia to some of the lesser known regions, I am an avid Liverpool FC supporter and I spend a lot of my spare time sharpening my language skills.

Qualifications:BA (Hons) in Russian and Slavonic Studies (University of Nottingham); TEFL Certificate (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) (Master 150-hour Course)
