Is this a good teaching package?
 

Hi....

Is this a good teaching package for a school in sharjah.
7,000 AED, accomodation, utility bills paid, annual flights and medical paid for?

If not... can someone please give me some suggestions of what I should be looking for in a teaching package, thanks!:)

do you mean 70,000?

Re: Is this a good teaching package?
 

Most Dubai (Emirates) salaries are quoted as monthly figures.

Re: Is this a good teaching package?
 

but 7,000 a month, including all extra's is that not low?

Re: Is this a good teaching package?
 

I wish I meant 70,000. It's 7,000 AED a month. Good or bad?

Re: Is this a good teaching package?
 

bad, very bad, I was earning that as a Receptionist 8 years ago :thumbdown:

Re: Is this a good teaching package?
 

im glad you replied BC, really, i didnt think that was good.. basing that on basic office work that is being advertised presently!!

You're not a PA by any chance are you?

Re: Is this a good teaching package?
 

Really....... OH :confused:

I've got over 5 years teaching experience, shud settle for more then.

Should I be looking for around 10,000 AED a month?

Thanks for your help guys. U all teachers out in Dubai??

Re: Is this a good teaching package?
 

It's not great but would certainly be better than being on the dole in the UK

Re: Is this a good teaching package?
 

Oh yes, much better than being on the dole, but I'm earning almost £2,000 a month after tax here so I guess 7,000 AED which is less than £1,000 a month doesnt really do justice.

14k I think is more the sort of figure teachers are getting, pending on qualifications etc. I assume you have applied for the positions that were available at VESS? Try GEMS Education in Dubai.

You've just answered your own question petal! :D

Re: Is this a good teaching package?
 

haha yes i am an experience PA but i have actually been looking at reception jobs etc.

did not want to do office work at all when i move over to Dubai but unfortunately that is where the money is!

I would have loved to do some sort of teaching, even being an assistant! i think i may do the office work for a year or 2 then trying something completely different!

So where did you get your mind reading degree... would love to do that for a living! :thumbsup:

Re: Is this a good teaching package?
 

haha, thanks.

How did u know which school I was talking about?

I applied to the GEMS online database, do I wait for them to get in touch if there is a suitable position?
