It's true, there seem to be a number of people starting this year. Hopefully its not all as terrible as some make it sound. May I ask you what you will be teaching?

I did, I sent you a pm. I'm also quite nervous, but I figure it'll be an experience why not. :P

I'll be joining in September too. I always take these things with a grain of salt. It's been my experience in other teaching posts that there are usually a number of unhappy teachers who want everything done the western way. One needs to realize there is regular time and then there is muslim time. Believe you me, they are completely different. Even Indian Time is faster than Muslim time. So far, the communication with the school has been as expected, unprofessional, slow, misleading...the usual Muslim way of doing business. But this will be an experience and we all know there are numerous other opportunities out there for us. See you all in September. Is anyone staying at the school accommodations?

hello acunuck. i actually happen to agree with you hey. i think that the experience will be worth it and that we can make it as great as we want it to be. i'll be staying on the school accommodation. i think that a lot of people will choose that option

Dear expats

I have really enjoyed my stay at Wesgreen International School that I’ve even extended my contract for another year. This is my first teaching experience away from home so it was really difficult for me to adjust at the beginning. However the staff and the co- workers are helpful and friendly, you will soon settle in. The work load may seem heavy at the beginning but once you’ve set yourself up its pretty much a breeze. The kids are easy to control and really lovable, of course every class has a few challenging students but the school offers great assistance with these learners. I have enjoyed the school, there are issues that arise as they do at any school although the easiest is just to get on with your work because that’s why you here.
Moving to any country will be a culture shock, but you will soon adjust to the people and the lifestyle. It is very fascinating and you can learn a lot from it. Living in the Middle East is ideal for those of you want to travel, it’s really convenient and affordable to do some from here.
My experience has been wonderful and has positively influenced my life. It hasn’t always been easy, you miss home and you might even struggle on your own but it’s worth it. Teaching aboard opens doors for new opportunities gives you exposure to different teaching and learning methods and allows experiencing a whole new culture of students. I would strongly recommend that you take this opportunity. It’s what you make of it.
