About the role:
The UAE is the largest and most competitive English teaching market in the Middle East, driven by its status as a global hub for business, tourism and trade.

International-school posts in the UAE are among the highest-salaried English teaching jobs in the world, with tax-free monthly salaries commonly reported in the region of AED 8,000-19,000 depending on the school, your qualifications and experience. Packages usually add furnished accommodation or a housing allowance, annual return flights, medical insurance, end-of-service gratuity and often schooling for dependants.

A bachelor's degree is required for the work visa. International schools typically expect a recognised teaching licence (such as QTS or a PGCE) plus classroom experience; a strong accredited Global English TESOL certificate strengthens your application and is often required for language-centre and entry roles.
