TL;DR
According to local chat reports, Tbilisi has roughly a dozen Russian private schools, so teaching work is theoretically possible there. Your chances are much better in Russian-language schools, while finding other kinds of work without Georgian is much harder.
The newest discussion also mentioned families looking for universities in Georgia with Russian-language faculties, which indirectly shows there is ongoing demand for Russian-language education and staff in this sector.
Based on chat feedback, the most realistic option is to look specifically at Russian private schools in Tbilisi. People estimated there are about a dozen of them, so the market exists but is still fairly limited.
Participants specifically noted that not speaking Georgian makes things uncertain: there may be a chance in a Russian-language school, but finding work in another profession or adjacent field becomes much harder.
For up-to-date information on schools and hiring, people recommended the Russian-speaking Education_ge community, where parents, teachers, and school and college directors in Georgia exchange advice on vacancies and education options.
