Interested in teaching jobs in Dubai?

There are any number of schools in Dubai that are looking for qualified foreign teachers, especially if they have a good amount of non-native foreign students.

Most of these schools cater to foreigners such as business people and executives.

There are many opportunities for English teachers to find work in education in Dubai.

The best teaching jobs in Dubai are often for foreign schools such as the American School of Dubai or even the for the school at the American Embassy or the British Embassy.

While jobs for ex-pat teachers may seem plentiful, you should be wary when accepting a job as the working conditions may not be as great as you might expect.

The majority of teaching jobs will be suitable and comfortable with you earning a nice salary for teaching well behaved, eager students who want to learn and whose parents are paying a good deal of money for them to receive a good education.

However, there are those teaching jobs where you won’t be paid well and your students will not be well behaved and you’ll have a tough time all together dealing with a situation that you could have avoided if you’d only done a bit of research.

Most teachers can expect to earn anywhere from 4000 to 8000 AED on the low end to 10,000 to 20,000 AED and more per month on the high end of the pay scale.

When looking for a decent teaching job you should consider a few factors before you sign any contract.

First of all, you’ll want to consider the offered salary.

Will it be enough to sustain you while living in Dubai? (Because it can be rather expensive to live there)

Is your employer going to include housing in your contract and if so, is the housing suitable?

You should definitely check out the housing situation as you don’t want to be stuck living in a bad area or a slum for an entire year or however long your contract might be.

If you’re planning on staying in Dubai for a while, you may want to consider asking your employer about how raises in salary work.

You may be disappointed to find that raises are usually not forthcoming, no matter how long your work tenure is. These are just a few things to consider before committing to a job in education in Dubai.

On the whole, foreign teachers and ex-pat teachers in general, are treated well as they are providing a valuable service that is most appreciated.

Teaching jobs in Dubai can give you one of the most rewarding experiences that you can ever have in your teaching career and a job such as that looks really good on a resume if ever you want to move on to bigger and better things.

English teachers are in high demand the whole world over but in Dubai you’ll have a teaching experience like no other.
