Additionally, if you are looking to teach in a private school, your degree will need to match the subject you teach. Recent education graduates with the right degree should expect a starting salary of no less than 9,000 AED + housing.<\/p>\n A TEFL\/TESOL certification is not typically a requirement for the UAE since most schools are looking to hire teachers with government-issued teaching licenses and\/or education degrees. However, if you do not have experience teaching ESL students, taking a quality TEFL course will teach you strategies to better connect with your learners.<\/p>\n Regarding experience, this varies by the emirate. Some require 2-years post-graduate experience, some require 1 year, and others can hire recent graduates.<\/p>\n If you are licensed to teach in your own country, the sky is the limit in the UAE. Salaries typically start at 10,000 AED and can go up all the way to 21,000 AED a month or more.<\/p>\n An M.Ed or PGCE will definitely help you stand out in the UAE job market.

Many teachers will want to live the modern metropolises of Dubai & Abu Dhabi but you can expect a higher cost of living in those cities. If saving money and avoiding traffic is a high priority for you, consider lesser-known cities like Ras Al Khaimah or Al Ain. While the cost of living is significantly lower, the pay is still competitive. The UAE is not a big country, only slightly bigger than the state of Maine. Almost anywhere you want to go is within a 2-hour drive.<\/p>\n \n The UAE generally follows an early school day to avoid some of the heat. Expect to start around 7 am and finish by 2-3 pm. The schedule is Monday \u2013 Friday.<\/p>\n \n Benefit packages in the UAE are often quite lucrative. You can usually expect housing to be provided (or allowance), annual flights, medical insurance, end of contract bonus and discounted tuition if applicable.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.4.8″ custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.4.8″][et_pb_cta title=”Why teach English in the UAE?” button_text=”Apply Now!” module_class=”teach-in-cta” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ header_font=”Lato|900|||||||” header_text_color=”#1d1f20″ header_font_size=”34px” body_font=”Lato||||||||” body_text_align=”left” body_text_color=”#606262″ body_font_size=”16px” body_line_height=”1.4em” background_enable_color=”off” text_orientation=”left” background_layout=”light” custom_padding=”0px|||0px|false|false”]<\/p>\n In the UAE, you’ll find a winning combination of attractive salaries and a high standard of living.

You’ve come to the right place! With approximately 80% of its population comprising expatriates, the UAE offers a dynamic and diverse environment for individuals seeking new opportunities.

These cities not only attract tourists but also captivate expats with their unparalleled charm and contribute significantly to the thriving economy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Language won’t be a barrier as English is widely spoken alongside the official language, Arabic. Road signs are conveniently presented in both languages, making navigation a breeze. Embrace the UAE’s rich cultural tapestry, where the majority of citizens follow the Islamic religion while displaying openness and tolerance towards other faiths. Christian churches are scattered across each Emirate, reflecting the welcoming and inclusive nature of the UAE.<\/p>\n And let’s talk weather!
