Thanks for watching!

So happy you stopped by🙏 Many thanks🌺

Thank you as well! I’m forever grateful to you. When asked,who inspired me to become a teacher, I always mention your name. You are a gem. Pray for me always, Tequila❤

I stayed at Caesar’s Palace. No sure of a room name . The stay was very nice and the bed was the best👍

I totally agree Koy Pond. Same they will never get another penny out of me. 👍

Hey Solomon thank you for the inquiry. I would like to share with you the website for Dasman Bilingual School, located in Kuwait City. Here many teachers are certified and some are not. It’s a great way to get your foot in the door. Please if you type the name of the school in a google search there you may see all the necessary requirements for this school. I hope this helps. T

@@tequiladenise7787 wow.... Thanks a lot. Let me get started. It's my hope that I shall succeed by the end of the day.

@@solomonmwendwa48 yes... you will. Good Luck🙏

Hey Tequila. I came with a project visa. Is it possible for the institution to sponsor me to get the private visa inorder to teach in the same school?

@@solomonmwendwa48 yes. Once hired they will do the necessary paperwork to get you a work visa

There maybe some truth to this.

VthaVixen sorry for the delayed response. No a traffic ticket will not prevent you from entering or being accepted. They are checking for hard crimes. Those with warrants and extremely questionable backgrounds. You are fine if it's just a traffic violation. I hope this helps💜

James Toy IV thank you... I m glad you enjoyed it. ☺️

Jamesha Daniels thanks for the view😘

Miesha Daniels Thank you ☺️

Dee Salt Thanks❤️ Stay safe😊

Dayne McKenzie I went through Teach Anywhere. However, Go online to AUS (American United School) or ASK (American School of Kuwait) and apply. They will consider your application without you being with an agency. They have the top salaries for American schools. I hope this helps. Thanks for joining ♥️

@@tequiladenise7787 Since it's an american school, do they pay in U.S dollars or Kuwaiti dinar

Dayne McKenzie The school follows an American curriculum so that’s why it has the word American in the name. You will be paid in Kuwaiti Dinars through a bank account the school will set up for you. You can just transfer your money from that account to an account in the USA to get dollars. I hope this helps😊

@@tequiladenise7787 It sure does thanks a mill for the info and love the videos keep them coming and keep safe.

ZeB 8 I agree the quality has declined. I too only purchase bags that are made of pure leather or I’ll buy a bag for its look but I’m definitely not spending a lot for it. Thanks for sharing your personal experience. Stay Safe, Tequila 😊

Alexius Thomas depending on the school you apply to, their requirements could very. I now that's strange you would think requirements should be the same across the board. But they do things quite differently here. Try any bilingual school and you should have an easier time getting afoot in the door. Let me know if this helps. I started at Dasman Bilingual School. Pretty good school, a bit backwards with a few things but they are always looking to hire and will definitely be looking to pick someone such as yourself up for hire.🌺

Tequila Denise thank you for replying! Did you use any recruitment agencies or did you have more success applying directly to schools?

Alexius Thomas I did use an agency but knowing what ai know now, I didn't need one. I was just like yourself and needed guidance and so I see he's support from Teach Anywhere but honestly you can cut those people out and go directly to the source. Just tell them Tequila sent you 😘

Lol sorry that last reply was choppy and confusing.its 4 in the morning here and I'm responding with one eye open. Lol

Tequila Denise haha no apologies needed! It was helpful. Thank you!

Andria Maxwell Silly me for thinking expensive means quality. Lol 😂No on a serious note, if I spend that kind of money for something I would like to know that it’s made with the best material and or accessories to support the price.

I'm entertaining a job there as an educator....can I pm you a question concerning my family over there?just your opinion...Florida girl here with a few questions

Teacher Keesha I love it. The kids are mannerable. But you know kids will be kids.

Teacher Keesha salary pat scales vary from school to school. However, here's a little something I've learned since being here... Schools with the word American or British in the name pay more. All others ( ie Bilingual schools) generally start at a lower salary. However you should know Kuwait has the highest currency value in the world at the moment. Multiply your expected salary by 3.29 and that will give you your salary in US dollars. A ticket to Philadelphia from Kuwait usually costs my husband and I about 900 to 1000 round trip in the summer. We have the option of letting the school book and pay or they give us the money and we shop around and buy it. I hope this helps. Good luck on your interview.

@@tequiladenise7787 awesome...lol. do you work at one of those schools? How is you're apt..? Is living there very costly? My goal is to save money

Boon Lim Hey! Thanks for stopping by! It should be pretty easy for her to land something at the school that hires you. Most schools out here love hiring couples. It's kind of like they're getting a two for one package. The visa process can be a bit tedious. For example they ran out of plastic to make the residency/ ID cards a few months back but we are passed that now. Boom Lim I wish you all the best. Please let me know if you have additional questions. I look forward to hearing from you in the future. ✋

Tequila Denise brilliant to hear. Thank you

Watford Fc Thank you so kindly. 😊

Zuree TV Hi and thanks for stopping by! 🤗 Yes, I have a really good friend from home who came out a couple of years ago with her daughter. They love it here. Most private schools will allow your child to attend for free if you are working at that particular school. You will have to file for residence for your child, but that's after you make it here and there are people to assist you with this process. If your child is not of school age you may hire a nanny for a reasonable price. I hope this information helps. If you have other questions please ask. Thanks again for watching this video.

Thank you. How can I contact you privately?

Ajaphrey Austin They did not love... But I will be sure to bring you a hot pair next summer 😎

stampsprint That's a good question. I'm not sure about PayPal when it comes to linking or transferring your money from Kuwait. however, my husband -friends and I have found it to be quite easy when transferring money from our Kuwait account to our USA bank account. You may link the accounts and transfer online at any time or you may visit your nearest bank branch and they will assist you with your transfer in the banker. There's typically a charge when you transfer using a banker, 5 dinars. This is equivalent to about 17/18 us dollars.

That's great news. While I was living and working in China, I banked with the largest commercial bank there ICBC (school I worked for had a contract with them), there was limited information regarding bank transfers. There was so many hoops I had to jump through. Not only that, I couldn't withdrawal my money from ICBC bank in USD currency. Only citizens of the country were permitted.

stampsprint oooh wow, year I've heard a few stories about transferring money from China. It's totally different in Kuwait. We even use our Kuwait bank cards in other countries when we travel. You simply let the bank know where you will travel to and they will make your funds available for your trip. It's the same with the school setting you up with a bank here. We didn't choose our bank, although we did have a choice to do so. But I hear your salary would typically be delayed a day or two when you use a bank other than the one the school uses. We were good then with what they chose. Lol we don't want any delays over here. Lol 😆

jhing pasigna_ hi 🤗 welcome to the channel. Yea, of course, you may bring your Bible. There are church groups in Kuwait. We usually meet on Friday's, because Sunday thru Thursday are days we work. Just know that Kuwait is safe and you will make friends and everything will be fine. Please check out my video with a group of educators and their personal experiences to give you their point of view as well. I'm so happy for you. Please free to reach out once you make it if you need me. I get there on the 20th of August. Best wishes, T🤗

stampsprint welcome to the family 😊 Yes there's something fraudulent going on. ABS ok I have a couple of friends that worked at that school. There's a FB group with hundreds of people called Brothers and Sisters of Kuwait. I'm not in the group but I am in the loop. They have meet and greets and lots of activities ( parties for holidays, cookouts, etc). It's pretty cool group the guy who organized it is an Omega from New York. Thanks for subscribing if you have questions please don't hesitate to ask. Hopefully we will cross paths this school year. TTYL Tequila

The Gamer Thank you 😊

Danielle Washington Heeeey! I hope all is well. To answer your question when you are seeking work overseas you must have an FBI check which generally is a more in-depth criminal search. If the FBI is looking for you or you have warrants then you have a problem. Minor traffic violations (ie speeding tickets and/ or )toll violation and any other traffic situation will not prevent you from working. I know personally from my side I had an outstanding speeding ticket and I was paying monthly through the courts and was fine. So think of it as this... get an FBI check and if that’s clear you should be good. That document along with other requested forms ( ie medical records, diploma, degree(s) etc) is what you will need to get through the process. You will be fine. No worries chica, you got this 👍🥰

Tequila Denise well I was arrested for driving with my license suspended and I’m nervous about that showing up

Danielle Washington no don’t worry. You’ve paid your debt to society. You are good. I’ve been arrested before too. Many years ago, but still . No worries Danielle😊

Tequila Denise okay thanks!

Tequila Denise also before you went overseas did you have to go to the Kuwait Embassy in-person to get your visa stamped? Or could you mail it to them?

vietmostwanted thank you. I will try something different. I love how coach stands by their products. I totally agree with you about the quality of the newer products. 😘

@@tequiladenise7787 when you get new luxury bags please do a video in it thanks for sharing!

vietmostwanted will do. 👍

Vanessa Allen 👋 you are smarter than I was. Trust I have learned my lesson. 😂 Big THANK YOU for your subscription 💋 Take Care, Tequila

I am researching designer brands by poc, as well...we must support our own (if the quality is good)...I am currently teaching in Bahrain but will be teaching in Kuwait in August...I hope to meet you! Thank you sooo much for your videos Tequila!!!

I totally agree Vanessa. Wow, Bahrain is such a nice place. I’ve been a couple of times. It’s smaller than Kuwait but very clean and friendly. Bahrain is such a quick and easy get away for us here. Kuwait is cool too but going to Bahrain just gives you a different feel. I hope to meet you too. 💗

Danielle Washington Hey 👋It usually take a couple months. Both you and your employer will have to gather documents and forms that will need to be submitted. However, the school is the middleman between you and the ministry. You won’t have to contact them. Your only position is to get transcripts, degrees and now high school diploma authenticated😧 yes Chile you have to get your HS Diploma authenticated. But at any rate yea it generally takes a couple months. Thank for checking out the video. If you more questions don’t hesitate to ask.😘

Tequila Denise hey BTW I’m from Texas too! Anyway my school told me to get my bachelor’s degree authenticated by the time I get there. Nothing about a high school diploma...But I haven’t heard anything else from HR since I sent photocopies of my transcript, teaching certification, degree and passport on April 7. The only paperwork I’ve signed thus far was a letter of intent. It’s only been 20 days... so I guess I’m just growing a bit anxious. Also, the school that hired me is American Academy for Girls in Salwa, Kuwait. How is that area? Also, I heard the Ministry can reject you for having traffic violations and/or unpaid tickets. Is that true?

Danielle Washington hey ... it’s typical for you to sign a letter of intent first. You will sign the official contract upon arrival to your school. Each experience is different I have one friend at this school who seems to like it. Like any other school it will have its pros and cons. But you will be fine. Don’t worry you won’t be rejected. They are not accepting criminals and people wanted by the FBI. Simple traffic violations won’t keep you from getting your job. Please look for me on FB when you come... Tequilla Toy😊 If you need help with anything, let me know. The Kuwait Embassy that we use from Texas to get our paperwork authenticated is in California. But you know this right. Ttys, Tequila

Can you talk more about teaching and classroom management?

LAST OUTRIDER the kiddos are pretty cool at my school. Our middle and high school educators have more problems, but elementary and sped the kids are easily managed. This type of thing varies from teacher to teacher and school to school. What I’ve heard from other expat educators at different schools and this also applies to my school is parents get away with dictating/ running the school. This can be an issue but we work through it. This again isn’t the case for everyone or every school. I hope this helps. Thank you for checking in. I hope to hear more from you. Tequilla❤️

AS good question, the school actually chose this accommodation for us. The building we live in is new and is only for married/ families. The building is being rented specifically for teachers at my school. They house single teachers in a different accommodation but it is real far out in an area called Mahboula. That bus ride almost killed me last year. I’m so thankful my husband and I were among the few that got to move. A twenty minute bus ride isn’t bad. You’ll be fine. Please keep in touch and when you make it my husband and I will be happy to show you around and help you out is you need us to. Take care... bye👋

​@@tequiladenise7787 thanks so much. why was the bus trip so rough? i am hoping the accommodations are expat friendly but not sure where it is yet. i will keep int ouch for sure!! congrats on your cool career overseas. schools open extra early there which is something else thats going to need getting used to.

AS you can do it. A bus ride of 20 minutes isn’t bad. It will only be yourself and other teachers working at the school and depending on the school you choose you will find that you will be off more than you work. working here has been much easier for me than working in the states. Take your time though and make the best decision for you. Tequila 😊

@@tequiladenise7787 what are the cause of being off more? thanks again!

AS every year without fail we are off due to one or more of the following reasons; weather, religious holidays, issue at the school ( ie maintenance upgrade) or prime example I worked half a day Easter Sunday. This was not on the school calendar they just changed it last minute and gave us the time off. So it’s situations mentioned that are generally the reason.

GG Robbins For some reason I expected more from this company. Needless to say, Louis Vuitton can kick rocks. They won’t get another penny from me.

Ashley Wright thanks for watching. Don’t be afraid to take that first step. Do your research and go for it. There are so many nice places you could look into. You can do it... I’m only a message away. 💋 Take Care

Marsharee Mays thanks for checking out my channel❤️

Marsharee Mays thanks BFF for the love and support😘

AS good question... I went through Teach Anywhere. It was a really easy process. Are you coming soon for teaching? Let me know if you’d like to see other things about living here. Thanks for stopping by❤️
