Hi,

Some opinions and/or advice would be helpful.

Last year I resigned from a 14 year UK Police career to pursue teaching ESL.
I’m currently teaching at an Adult Training Centre in China.
I’m Trinity TESOL Certified.


For a variety of reasons I’d like to teach in the Middle East.
Given my professional background, I’d like opinions on whether I should focus my applications towards any specific types of institution (e.g. military/uniformed services etc)?
Furthermore, could my professional background be of any advantage?

Any opinions/advice would be greatly appreciated.

David

With just the trinity cert and such limited experience, very few opportunities in the other Gulf countries. Jobs in the rest of MENA tend to be lower pay than China.

Answers on your Saudi thread pretty much cover it.

Your police experience might be of interest to security and the military organizations - the TESOL could support your ability to teach in policing roles?
