Wow! Our answers are quite similar - I never realised that teaching in Hong Kong would be so similar to teaching in Dubai. I really enjoyed working on this collaboration :) - Katie
Another great video, thank you☺️☺️ I start my PGCE next week, and I plan to move to Dubai to teach in 2022💕 your videos have really given me an insight on the teaching life in Dubai!
@@aisha9154 it will be primary for me, yourself? Yes I would like to complete my NQT year abroad but I've yet to decide because I've heard it is better to complete that year here rather than overseas
Shams D. Ahh, my sister completed her NQT in the UAE too but I plan to do my NQT here just so I’m not thrown into the deep end in a new country straight away. Then after that I’m getting the hell out of this country😂 and primary too :)
Hey Thomas, just “ discovered” you yesterday:-).. my husband and I are both 49. Can you imagine he will finish his PGCE in two months time in that age. He already secure his first teaching job in Dubai so we should move at the end of July. I’m super proud of him to achieve this in later age. So we are watching your videos like mad. Greetings from UK 👍
Thank’s for asking.. Here in Dubai for already 2 weeks now, husband’s first lesson is today:-).. Can’t wait for him to come back today and tell me all about it.
This inspires me. I've been teaching for 15 years but only have an early childhood development qualification. I've decided at the age of 38 to pursue my degree in foundation phase education and I was wondering if it might be too late to move to Dubai. I just returned from a holiday there and it's so beautiful. I'm inspired to move for a better life from South Africa.
hı MR Thomas; just “ discovered” you yesterday, me too esl teacher . im living turkey and stıll ım lookıng job ın dubaı .Im inspired by your videos,ı hope to work as a teacher in dubai.☺
Hey, thank you for the videos. How long after you moved to Dubai did you manage to find an accommodation for yourself? I know you had to wait for the Emirates ID so where did you have to stay during that time you waited? I'm in a similar predicament of finding my own place but the things I need to rent are taking a while (bank account & cheques) Thank you :)
Hi Thomas, I am looking forward to get a teaching job in Dubai, I have QTS and bachelor degree in England, I am just wondering if I can apply through tes website. I have two children( secondary age) do they get a place in the school that I will work for for free and what are the other benefits can I get ? Thanks
I have applied many schools in middle East countries .but till now I have not got any.i am from India.i have two years experience as a primary and preprimary teacher
Great video, thank you for sharing all that info. It was very interesting to hear the differences between teaching in Dubai and England. Here in the US (at least in Michigan) elementary/primary students have one special a day inc. art, music, PE/gym and STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths). Some schools have specialist rooms for some or all of those subjects but in other schools for specials (except PE) the teachers travel from classroom to classroom to teach their subject. Are you planning on moving to any other countries to teach?
I got offered 13k aed inc allowance but rejected the offer as it was substantially lower than previous jobs in other Middle Eastern countries. Is this below par for a UK teacher in Dubai?
Hi Thomas, thanks a lot for the video. I had a few questions if you could answer please. There's quite a few adverts for teachers training in UAE. They are specifically looking for STEM graduates. It's a 2 year contract, no experience necessary, teacher training paid for, £41k a year including accommodation allowance. Seems a too good to be true as it's more or the same as a qualified teacher. Do you have any idea about these schemes? What is average rent per month? General maintenance costs (food, bills). I'm weighing up whether to train in Dubai or do PGCE in England for Maths.
I'm applying for a PGDE this year in the UK and I'll get to choose whether I want to get into EYFS or general primary. I do want to work in Dubai after a couple years but I've read somewhere that those who go down the Early Years route won't be able to work outside of the UK because other countries don't recognise it. So, I was told to consider the general primary route. Can I please have your advice or opinion on this? Is it true? (Sorry for the long comment!)
Amazing video! Myself and two friends are keen to go teach in Dubai. We would like to live in the same accommodation (an allowance to do this), are there any recruitment agencies that can assist with this?
Hi from Canada! :) Are there any schools and accomodations "together' on the same campus (i.e. with grocery stores, coffee shop, etc...in other words, a self-containted community?)> Would love not to travel and have it be an all-in-one arrangement. TY so much!
I have a question. I am planning to enroll in education for a bachelor degree but I'm not sure if I am going to continue my teaching in the future so can I take business for a bachelor and still teach in gulf countries and get a good payment? also, I do have a TEFL certificate
This is the first time I've seen your video . I loved it so much.My name is Shyma. My country is India. My husband works in Ajman, UAE. I have completed my D. El.

I hope you will answer my question from the position of a sister🙏🏻
Hi Thomas, so glad I have stayed upon your TH-cam channel. Do you have a video about the planning and expectations of teachers? I have been speaking to a few girls who are currently teaching in Dubai and have said that it is very full on. I'm also from Scotland and I am aware they teach the English curriculum which is quite different from the Scottish. Do the long hours and high expectations pay off for the lifestyle? It is something I have been thinking about for a few years now.
Hi thomas, i completed my btech and i work as an online coding teacher. If i apply for comupter science teacher in dubai...what are the chances or shall i do pgce course?
Do you have any Information about completing your NQT years abroad?? I have been a TEFL teacher in Asia for 3 years and have now decided to come back to England during the pandemic to complete a pgce and further my career, I would like to head back to Asia as soon as possible and i just wondered if you have any thoughts on if it's better completing your NQT years in England or are there opportunities now to complete them abroad?
To be honest, I'm never too sure with NQT procedures abroad. When I looked in my NQT year, many schools desired 2 years experience but now many have opened up to the idea of having NQTs
Dear Mr Blakemore, Greetings! I am Vijaya writing to you from India. I am a college teacher and i have been teaching English for 17 years in India.
