[@ThomasBlakemore]

I've now released the guide that will support you in getting a teaching job in Dubai. Www.teachtraveltriumph.com/guide

[@spruceycurlyfries]

Thanks for creating these videos, I'm 15 from the UK and aspire to be like you.

[@ThomasBlakemore]

Love this! Thank you very much for such a kind comment!

[@insolitasiempre8326]

Thomas, you are having a great experience and must be in a great school but there is the good, the bad and the ugly... and people need to do their research before accepting a job in UAE. I had some fun in Dubai but it is not for everyone.

Good solid presentation. Did you ever hear of the 7 Emirates Song (because I, by great luck, composed it)!? James Deagle

[@ThomasBlakemore]

Yesss! This is the man, myth and legend!

[@nikitagagnon8257]

Very helpful! Thank you :)

[@laurat24]

Absolutely love your videos! New subscriber!! I was just wondering how many years you had teaching in the UK before getting a job in dubai? And whether you have a bachelors in education? Many thanks:))

[@tursynbekyernazarov4071]

I don't have any job experience abroad. But I do have teaching experience in my home country. What can I do to be an international teacher?

[@thegravedigger4448]

Please discuss about requirements of Islamic studies teacher in Dubai,

[@henrybutler635]

Great video thanks. I am starting my PGCE next week as a secondary History teacher. I plan on trying to do my NQT year in Dubai. In the video you mention experience helps when applying for a job. I taught English in Vietnam for 2 years. Would this experience count considering I will applying for a job as a History Teacher?

[@ThomasBlakemore]

I'd personally recommend more time i as a teacher in the UK to get a wider variety of jobs/ better pay but it's up to you.

[@tauqeerahmed8117]

How to become a business related sunjects(Accounting,Economics ,commerce, business math) teacher in GCC. what certifications you recommend to have before coming.

[@ThomasBlakemore]

Hi Tauqeer, each school has their own requirements for qualifications. It is best to seek requirements on the websites suggested within the video. Hope this helps.

[@tauqeerahmed8117]

@@ThomasBlakemore Thank you Sir.

[@JC-ce8uw]

Is it possible to get a TA job in Dubai without having a teaching qualification?

[@stepofenglish3089]

Amazing 👌

[@LH-mh7lk]

How do you go about choosing which jobs to apply for? Most of the jobs on the guardian and tes come from outside companies that don’t even give the schools name... how do you know what is right for you?

[@ThomasBlakemore]

Sorry to hear that. Personally, TES was my favourite. Using the filters allowed me to find jobs in Dubai but took patience.

[@JadeLou53]

How would you recommend contacting a school prior to applying?

[@ThomasBlakemore]

I would consider twitter searches or email to be more formal

[@mrscott9850]

Do most schools offer accommodation to staff? What sort of pay is expected out in the UAE compared to the UK?

[@ThomasBlakemore]

I'd say most do yes. Pay wise significantly varies from school to school. Most pay 9000-1400 relating to experience

[@ThomasBlakemore]

14,000*

[@killakilla1038]

Is there primary pe teachers over there ?? If so is it difficult ?

[@mohdimran-vg6dm]

How can I find librarian vacancy in Dubai

[@sharmilamitra7161]

Hie Thomas can you clear my doubt ? Is it compulsory to clear IELTS to apply for trs job in Dubai ?

[@ThomasBlakemore]

No

[@sharmilamitra7161]

Thank you

[@ahmedharb25]

Can you do a video about interview in Dubai

[@ThomasBlakemore]

Ahmed this is certainly something I can look into in the future. What would you like to know most?

[@ahmedharb25]

Thomas Blakemore what type of questions they ask you at interview when applying in Dubai

[@ThomasBlakemore]

Noted. Thank you.

[@englishgrammarwithihsanfai8213]

You are talking very fast.

[@dunktheshortleggedmackdadd6766]

If you speak Arabic(fusha) does that supplement having that much experience?
