Teaching overseas is a big commitment. Fortunately, I chose to apply through Teach Away. Although I had done my homework and knew what to expect from the process, my placement coordinator at Teach Away went above and beyond to make sure I knew what each step of the process involved and to ensure I was well-informed and comfortable along the way. The pre-departure seminars were awesome.
The program itself is great. I am teaching in a public school in Abu Dhabi and I love it! While everyone's experience will vary due to luck of the draw, I am fortunate to be at a school with plenty of resources and a great staff. Because my housing is provided, I am able to save 60-70% of my salary each month. The cost of living is relatively low compared to my home country, and the initial furniture allowance I received covered all of the things I needed to settle in comfortably.
Teaching in Abu Dhabi isn't for everyone, but if you've done your homework and you are excited to give it a go, I highly recommend applying to Teach Away. They will make everything as seamless as they possibly can. Teach Away get a gold star!
