    Thank you for your videos. I would like to ask you 3 questions please:
    1. I'm guessing there are always two years contracts; what happens if you resign before the end of your contract?
    2. Are Dubai and Qatar similar? They offered me a job in Qatar as a languages teacher but not sure if your videos/comments apply to Qatar as well.
    3. If school offers you accommodation, do you have to share the apartment with another teacher or you would be living on your own?
    Thank you in advance

    About pensions.
    Pensions in the UK are essentially an unfunded ponzi scheme and likely won't survive another 40 years.
    The people going to Dubai are generally people smart enough to realize this, as they were smart enough to leave the UK in the first place. With that comes the unspoken rule that you are financially independent and intelligent and can use the tax savings to set up your own (much better) nest egg. Pensions provide extremely low returns and investing what you WOULD have invested into a pension into an index fund will likeely provide you with more than double the return AND allow you to withdraw it whenever you want.
    The ONLY sane reason you would ever want a UK pension, is because it's "tax deductable" and is "efficient money" matched by your employer. You essentially get a tiny benefit this way, but pay for it in the long run with low returns and the chance it will all disappear (like it nearly did last year during the pension crash)

    I can't see school starting at 7:30 being a con. In South Africa, we start at 7:30 and normally leave between 4pm and 5pm because we are contracted to do a certain number of extra mural activities depending on your school.

    Your videos are very helpful, sir. Discussing the pros and cons of teaching in Dubai serves as an eye opener to those who want to teach in the UAE. In fact, I am planning to apply for an English teaching position by next year. This video is a gem. Thank you! 💪
    By the way, I am a Filipino teacher. :)

    Another con is the intention of going back to England to teach eventually especially for pension contributions etc…Being out of the English system can go against you if one ever wanted to go back. Terminology changes quickly in education and having worked abroad can be extremely unattractive for a potential school employer. I say England and not UK as the UK has devolved education systems .

      @@ThomasBlakemore but after you have paid 35 years of UK National Insurance you can start work in Dubai with no worries about pension or being out of touch.
      Going to the Emirates at the end of your career is financially very attractive.

      I taught in the UK for 8 years. I wasn't born there or educated there. I don't think leaving for a couple of years will ruin your career if you want to go back.

    I am considering coming to Dubai to teacher (early years) everything I’ve heard both pros and con are very useful so thank you!! I currently work in a nursery that I commute an hour too, I hate mornings too but with me currently working 7:30-5 I think 7:30-3/3:30 I can manage hopefully hahaha Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
    Not sure if you’ve done a video on it yet (new to your channel) but do you have any advise or know female teachers particularly that work is nursery or KS1, I’d love to hear about their experiences working in a public or private nursery (I’m aiming for a Montessori nursery but not gunna get my hopes up haha)

    Heyy I would appreciate some guidance if you can. I'm planning to sit the CELTA qualification so I qualify to teach in Saudi this year. I can either do the August course or September course. The September course works better for me but I am concerned that finishing in September might reduce my teaching job prospects in Saudi as the school year would've already started in August/September? Is this correct? Do you think finishing the course at the end of September will significantly negatively impact my chances of finding a job and that I should really do the August course?

    At your school, are the children in school from 7:30-3:30? The schools I’ve looked at online say 7:30-2:30. Does it depend on the school?

      3.30 due to ECAs some children do leave at 2.30 who don’t do them
