Teaching in Saudi Arabia: Part 1--How did I end up teaching in Saudi? Reactions?

Hey Everyone,
In this video series I explain how I ended up taking a 3rd grade teaching position in Saudi Arabia, reactions from friends and family, my initial concerns, and what life was like living there. These are my reflections and personal experiences while in the Kingdom. I hope I'm able to dispel any myths and answer any questions you may have. If there is something specific you would like me to cover, please let me know.

[@loopvil369]

great videos. I think I'm going there soon and I'm a bit apprehensive about the work culture as I taught in Hong Kong and didn't enjoy the work life

[@medicalmayhem]

Girl I got all the same comments when I went to Saudi Arabia. I was able to visit to see what a lovely culture it is. I was able to do whatever I wanted there. I now have a job as a kg teacher in KAEC!

[@masizakhepika1029]

Currently in China, but I want to come to teach there. How can I get through with the process

[@quoteurself]

Asalamkium sister, do you known the background requirement for teacher in Saudi Arabia’s. It’s my dream to work there however I have a trafficking violation on my record (reckless driving) when I was younger and I was wondering if that would disqualify me from applying for schools over there? I have seen mixed reviews online on what disqualifies teachers what do u think. Thank you. X

[@zaynab08]

Asalamu alaykum sister, can you please make a video of what the requirements are to teach in Saudi are? any tips you have? and like how exactly you got the job if used a recruiting agency or not?

[@hamdiiA_]

Im happy to hear you had a amazing journey love, allahuma-barrik! I have to ask, what website did you use to find jobs?

[@fabdi2]

ameeen thank you so much. I used teachaway, searchassociates, schrole, teachingnomad, you can also go to each schools website and apply directly

[@expatladyinsaudi]

Salam I am American and live in Jeddah. I am doing a demo at a school in a few days but have no idea even the ballpark for the salary to negotiate toward. How do I know what I should aim for?

[@fabdi2]

Salam. Teaching jobs in Saudi go from 3-5K. Depends on type of school and your education/experience. I would aim hi and they can meet you half way. You are needed, not the other way around lol

[@muniraahmed8169]

I’ve applied to a million places lol but only Saudi has written me back. So I may be moving there too! I’ve sent 34 applications in the last week. My family are terrified, but I’m open to it. Can you share the website that you used?

[@fabdi2]

Munira Ahmed 👋🏾. Hiii. Keep applying. Your school is out there. But it’s good your keeping an open mind cuz The application process can be long. So I found the school on the IB website. www.ibo.org/programmes/find-an-ib-school/

[@1Sapphire1]

You should try Dave’s ESL cafe.

[@medicalmayhem]

Saudi Arabia is the safest country I've ever visited. I'm an American female and I stayed there for two months in an apartment by myself. I was approved for a position as a teacher! It's the only place I walked around a park at 2am and felt completely safe. No one bothers you. It's a very respectable culture. The men have the same expectations as the women when it comes to respect.

[@abhishekmukherjee2891]

Hello madam, I want to teach in the schools of Gulf countries. Please tell me the procedures, if possible. Thank you

[@fabdi2]

[@khuloodalsulami771]

I’m Saudi studying at PNU and I really wish that you can teach me English :c You look like one of those who are down to earth.

[@mounaraouf9987]

I wish my students in Wady al dawassir spoke English like you.

[@absbse]

Is it not a dream job to be teaching in makkah or madinah and being able to visit the haramain every day ?

[@fabdi2]

It is a beautiful dream job

[@themountaindew2995]

Great are u currently working there mam!?

[@parveenh4647]

Assalam-o-Alaikum! I have pursued a 4 year Bachelor degree in Applied Biosciences. If I get a PGCE, will I be eligible to teach in Saudi Arabia? Is PGCE acceptable. Another thing: Although I have advanced level English skills, I am not a native English speaker. Does this make a difference? Kindly answer as I am in dire need for guidance

[@fabdi2]

Yes, PGCE is one of the best degrees to get you a job because it’s an official teaching accreditation from the UK. Get some experience teaching and it might take a bit longer if you are not native. Some job do require that for visa but apply anyway. Also, be open to other countries as well. You never know what Amazing experiences exist around the world

[@hairprocare]

hi there great video thanks what happens if you work in overseas and you go back to your home country and the income you earned how do you moved it to your home country bank account please advise if you know. Thank you

[@fabdi2]

Hi. Great question. You can set up a bank account in the country you work in and transfer money monthly. I lived abroad for 7 years and did this in all the countries i worked it. It is relatively easy to set up an account and transfer back to your home country back.

[@hairprocare]

@@fabdi2 thank you so much for your time and reply have a wonderful day further.

[@sanahrawn4652]

Salam Sister, please reach out as I'm considering to relocate.

[@sejfzlrrhman]

Same here, brother. I'm from India.

[@Marowa3]

Thank you so much for this video! I wanted to know if you needed your masters to teach or can you teach with Bachelors degree?

[@rjmoney9]

Many places just require a bachelors. A few places may require (or desire) a masters of education or something similar. But that's more rare ime
