Saudı teachers of Englısh are a rare breed. Anyone wıth that level of Englısh ıs lıkely to be offered another job. And apart from deadbeats lıke me who wants to be an EFLer ?

More to the point ...most Saudi teachers or even non-Saudis that were raised here are probably too busy with family, etc. to bother frequenting dave's on a regular basis; however, since desert_traveller requested --these potential 'lurking' teachers-- to PM him we will most likely never know ...

There is a Kuwaiti teacher who frequents the Middle East forums here. I don't know of a Saudi one.

Your best bet for finding Saudi ESL/EFL teachers would be to get in touch with the folks at KSAALT (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Association of Language Teachers). There are quite a few Saudi teachers who belong to this organization.

I am neither Saudi nor have been educated in Saudi schools, but I have observed Saudis for 24+ years as I was brought up here. Shoot me a PM.

I worked with a young Saudi man in the EFL department at IPA. I'll try to find his email.

The only Saudi English teacher in this forum is the poster 'King of desert'.
BTW, King of desert is very shy, conservative, and it is difficult to contact him!
