Qualified English teachers in the UAE can realistically expect to make $1,800 - $5,000 (or more) tax-free a month with benefits including airfare to and from the assignment, health insurance, and furnished housing.
A 4-year degree and a TEFL certification are typically required to teach English in the UAE. Many schools also require prior teaching experience and/or a Master's Degree. Because the UAE is a coveted destination for foreign teachers, the job market is extremely competitive. Beginning TEFL teachers may find it difficult to be hired, as most jobs will go to experienced teachers with advanced credentials.
