Ruslan Tabachynsky is one of just a handful of Broward County foreign teachers who sought jobs in the district on their own. Tabachynsky, born and raised in Ukraine, came to the United States after obtaining a green card. He teaches physics, computers and robotics to students at Dillard High School in Fort Lauderdale. It was the world's worst nuclear accident. Tabachynsky lived 300 miles from the plant.
Students appreciate the cultural exchange as well.
