Hello

I am about to agree on taking up a teaching job at the Doha Academy as a mathematics� teacher. Apart from the experience of living in Qatar which I intend to enjoy (!!!), I would like an advice on what a good salary would be (obviously, the main reason is to save money) for a teacher.

I have been looking at various searched areas and I�m aware the accommodation is expensive. Any advice is greatly appreciated (fast)

Regards MB.

Minimum salary of 11,000 QR per month would be reasonable, especially at Qatar Academy which receives a lot of funding (that's if they pay for your accomodation) If they give you a housing allowance, you should be getting at least 7000 QR a month (even for a single person) and YES housing here is THAT expensive............

Thank you for the reply QatarChic

Negotiations will start tomorrow, and I will be looking at 13000 /month and may go down to 11000. This of course will be with accommodation provided.

P.S. the school is Doha Academy and not Qatar Academy.

Thanx again (MB)

Hi Arabstar,

You're welcome

ooops- my mistake- I have heard good things about Qatar Academy as a friend used to work there (has since gone back to the UK) don't know much about Doha academy I'm afraid- yes 13000 Qr is also very reasonable, teachers at Doha College get around a minimum of 15000QR per month.

Good luck
