For some reason, I really don't like the way it fits. And it can go in the beginning of the sentence instead of at the end if you want to emphasize it.

If you talk about school pupils, the verb "учить кого-то чему-то" (teach smbd smth) will go. Don't mix it up with "учить что-то" (to study smth)!

Она учит английскому третьи-четвертые классы в России.
В России она преподает английский третьеклашкам-четвероклашкам.
Она преподает английский язык в третьих и четвертых классах одной из российских школ [this one rather formal/official].
And one of the most informal: В России она - "англичанка", третий-четвертый классы.
Note that you may mix the ingredients of all abovementioned frases willingly :)))
