My FIRST week as a TEACHER in the UAE

#Teacher #TeachingInTheUAE #Dubai #UAE
I have completed my first full week in the UAE as a teacher. While teaching doesn't begin until the end of August, there are many processes to complete for a smooth transition. In this video I talk about the key things I've done this week, I hope it helps.

New teachers in the UAE go and find the group: Teachers in the Middle East. It's a useful page for anyone who has moved over to teach!

    Thanks for the useful insight. I'll be moving to Abu Dhabi from South Africa in the next month and your travel updates will certainly help me as well. All the best with the rest of your transition mate.

    Hi, Alex. How are you doing? Thank you so much for your useful videos. I've found your videos recently and got really useful information for myself. I'm an English teacher. I'm also planning to go to UAE to work. Can I find a job at one of the schools there while I'm still home? Or should I just go to Dubai or Abu Dhabi first, then find a job?. Could you please help find a job in UAE schools

    Depends on the school.. private schools will expect you to be a qualified teacher but local schools will employ non qualified teachers with experience. Really depends on the role and type of school you’re looking for
