You kinda look like chunkz

This is the case of almost every international school in China! Credentials and qualifications are certainly considered, some people will also get through the cracks, but generally a certain passport/ race is preferred.

Sad to hear 5th

Working as a teacher in uae must be one of the worst jobs ever as well sales and hospitality sector. The load and the stress on this people is on the next level… And again you feel so unstable…

I've been in Dubai for 15 months now teaching secondary maths/business and have no regrets despite a surprise pregnancy. The expectations from teachers are very high and it is a high-stress corporate environment (it is a for-profit school) but you also finish at noon on Fridays and get about 3 weeks more holiday per year plus 3 hour shorter days in Ramadan. Moved with my family of 4 from London where we were getting priced out by bills despite 2 graduate salaries. Have survived here on 1 salary so far and living exceedingly well compared to London, so I can't say my experience matches this video. Work at an established school. Got my visa within 3 weeks of landing. Family got theirs 2 weeks later. I had 4 years teaching experience when I arrived, had a corporate job before teaching, and I have a Masters degree, so maybe that makes a difference. Also choosing to live in a more intl area instead of a more "Euro area" like Marina or Business Bay or the many pricey pop up gated villa communities where many expats claim to feel more comfortable yet are constantly complaining about feeling lonely and disconnected, go figure. I would say 80% of my own neighbours are Arab/ Indian/Pakistani, others mostly American/Brit/African, and I have an incredible support network right in my building. My take home salary is almost the same as in London bcoz no income tax, but I also get a 3+maid flat with a gym and pool, for free, that is 10 minutes drive from work, parks and a 2 big shopping centres. 20-30 minutes easy driving in the car takes us to incredible public beaches, libraries, city walks, world-famous monuments and all sorts of incredible free and family-friendly activities,parking is £1 per hour tops and mostly actually free. I get 4k for a return ticket home every year, though I just used the money to pay off some cc bills last year, I get really great insurance for myself plus 1 dependent (worth about 14k AED per year). I've never felt safer nor more respected as a woman. Biggest expenses are health insurance (8,000aed which is about £1,800 per year so comparable to NI?? ) for the 2 ppl in family school doesn't cover, will probably be another 4k AED once baby arrives and this is for mid range cover, not the "exclusive" hospitals); total car costs (about 2,700aed monthly on 3 yr finance plan for an 8 year old pathfinder plus insurance, fuel and maintenance); and bills (up to 2,500aed in summer months for gas, electric, ac, water, internet, + their version of council tax); and another 2,000AED on food. So it is far from cheap and we aren't saving a thing (car rental, ac and internet costs here are shocking but gas bills, VAT and council tax back home were way worse). To afford treats we we supplement with the bit of money we get after mortgage paid, from renting our home back in the UK. Once hubby finds a job though we should be able to travel home once a year and still save, even with the new child costs. If he doesn't find anything solid we'll have to move back to England in the next 2-3 years most likely, as schools won't typically cover a 3rd child, but we know we definitely can't afford to move back to London. I find that Brits that complain about costs here aren't usually making like for like comparisons with how they lived back home. Like you aren't saving, true, but you are also living in a stunning flat with crazy views, a gym and a pool, 10 minutes from the city centre, spending your weekends at 4 hour brunches with unlimited alcohol or pool days at 5* hotels with private beaches lol I reckon if you live exactly the same as you did back home: take the bus/metro to work/ live out of the way with a 45 minute commute every day, eat at local takeaways, shop at Viva (like ALDI/LIDL) etc you probably would save! The passport thing is true, they pay in relation to your pay in your home country, which is super unfair, but a 2 edged sword in ways. My husband can't find jobs in film production and editing and has been told to his face British workers are too lazy and they only hire Indians sorry; he found out there are ppl out here getting 3-5k aed a month for jobs that would pay a minimum of triple that after tax in London. A paramedic friend left this yr after not finding work for a year. Her husband was working as a teacher but she couldn't find anything that wasn't a shocking pay cut compared to back home. Also tbh I witnessed a shocking amount of unfairness in the workplace back home in London too, just in different ways, no city is without discrimination and issues.

Hi, Are there Spanish schools?

Salam bro. I'm planning on arriving in Dubai in the next few weeks. I'll be arriving on a freelance visa. Do you have an idea how long it will take me to find a job as an English teacher (private or government school). I'm from the UK and I have bachelor's degree in English and a CELTA. And thanks for your content. Very beneficial. 👍🏼

Genuine curious question, I have been reading the salary is tax free and they pay for housing and health insurance. Was that the case for you? If yes, could you elaborate on where you spent the most? I just want to get a balanced view because lot of others are saying they are able to save because of the benefits.

💔 "Promo sm"

Really?😮 Who would have thought if you're paying attention to the teacher you might learn more,😮 shocking 🤣😂🤣😂

Indian with IELTS score of 7 band Will help?

What rubbish your cost if living depend upon u ,u could go to bed space to luxury villas here what suits u

Adam whats the criteria for primary school teacher ? Do they require bechlors in education only? Or a bechlors in specific subject like maths, english along with professional qualification ?

I was a teacher in the UAE and I worked for a Government school. 3. The UAE is a place of transition. Everything is geared to help the LOCALS (Emiratis). 4. Yes, American and European teachers are paid more, BUT the Jordanian/Egyptian Mafia Teachers do NOTHING and conspire against Americans and Europeans EVERY CHANCE THEY GET. The fact they didn't settle your VISA immediately is ridiculous. I had friends who made the Oman Border run, but for 8 months? No Emirates ID card? No way to rent a place? No way.

Hi

Please don't tell me you are suprised at all that. A good friend of mine is Emirati and she routinely reminds me that culture was mostly goat-herders 2 generations ago. I hope you did not think it is a sophisticated place because there is a lot of visible opulence.

I thought it was tax free OR does the US tax system make this different?

I wouldn't work in any country under a dictatorship if they paid me a million dollars a month. Why the heck did you go there in the first place!? People get locked up because of witnessing crimes man!!!

I completely agree, everyone is a second class citizen in Dubai. Not a nice society, they just want your money, to chew you up and spit you out. It’s disgusting how they treat the migrant labour force there

Should we come on visitor visa or apply online??

To be a teacher in Dubai, is it enough to get my Bachelor's & Master’s certificate attested?

Agree but why ate you paying for accommodation? I thought the whole purpose to go there was to get free accommodation?

How much did you make that you couldn't balance books?

This is completely contradict your other video.. And discrimination work life balance everything is straight opposite of what u said.. Totally disagree

Clear picture and fact in dubai. Appreciate it

Agree

Thanks for the video! Could you be more specific about your expenses? I've heard most of the paycheck of teachers is take-home, because it's tax free and school usually pays for housing (or provides an allowance) which is almost always the biggest expense anywhere in the world. Thanks again and the best of luck to you.

Hi akhi Adam, my name is Jamal and I’m a Swedish citizen. I’ve completed my 5-years of studies to become a PE and religion teacher. As I know that religion here in Sweden isn’t teached the same way as in Dubai - I wonder what my chances to get a good job as a PE teacher in the gulf? Besides my studies, Arabic is my second language. I appreciate if you answer this, and give me an idea of how to apply for jobs. Thank you once again and I’ve subscribed to your channel :)

Is there opening for french teaching?

You said that westeners have less wages or getting paid more based on their passports? Is all theses 5 conditions are applying to the neighbors countries around UAE as well?

I currently teach in Dubai, and I disagree with the work- life balance! I finish teaching at 4pm, and then it continuous admin after that every day. I think it depends on the school to be honest

Hey, just a question - do you edit your own videos?
