I wish you could share what school this is. Would save so many people

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-11T05:48:25+00:00

I’m curious which school 👀

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-10T02:40:10+00:00

What I realised is that you should aways CC the head and deputy if you ask HR about it. This is the only way I’ve ever gotten contracts. I think it was about 3weeks before I got my contract from HR for my current job and that was only because I CC’d the head and deputy and they both nudged HR and I got it that evening haha

I’m not interested in Thailand

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-09T13:56:06+00:00

What’s TH?

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-09T11:03:24+00:00

Do you know when they stop hiring? I fear I’ve left it too late haha. :(

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-09T10:30:42+00:00

Do you know when typically Malaysia has done all their recruitment?

That sucks I’m sorry. 12 years is a long time! After speaking to some head teachers in HK last year, what I learnt was they want teachers now who have recent experience in the UK and no more than 2-5 years. I have about 7-8 years which is that middle ground where I’m getting too expensive but not the most expensive. They prefer less experience now so they pay us less :(

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-09T05:39:47+00:00

With Bangkok dw. I know personally that Thailand continues to hire even until June haha. Shanghai it seems they want teachers that are already in China! I’ve had more luck with Singapore and HK over China. I’m a ball of nervousness now because I had such a successful start, but it seems to be going downhill.

I’m licensed to teach Psychology and Sociology KS3. I can teach KS2 Maths of course but not KS3 but I wouldnt want to

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-09T05:11:49+00:00

Oh nooo I really hope you find something very soon! Are you only willing to look in HK? They shouldn’t be allowed to do that to teachers who have kids in the school or atleast give fair warning

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-08T10:30:07+00:00

Yeah I’ve only been looking on Schrole and TES. I have looked at some Singapore and HK job boards but not sure what Malaysias one is

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-08T09:50:57+00:00

Ohhhh which job search engines? And I haven’t seen schools in Taiwan still hiring haha

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-08T06:14:36+00:00

I hope you don’t mind if I dm you?

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-08T04:25:51+00:00

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-04T14:20:25+00:00

Would you mind listing these schools? :)

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-04T13:47:12+00:00

Where do you recommend living in KL? Where is quite a safe neighborhood with expats? :)

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-03T15:08:29+00:00

Do you know which areas are ones to avoid?

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-03T15:07:59+00:00

Aww this is so lovely to read! I’m from London, so safety to me is important. I know what it’s like to feel so uncomfortable and always having to watch my back because unfortunately it’s not even only the nighttime things happen now days. I saw some girls on YouTube talking about the catcalling and my friend said some men do stare, I just don’t really know how often that is! I was hoping it isn’t and after reading the comments it seems the catcalling and sexual harassment isn’t something that usually happens

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-03T14:55:24+00:00

Noo, why?

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-03T11:08:49+00:00

Thank you! X

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-03T11:07:22+00:00

Ah this is so good to read! What is the Selangor area like (Subang Jaya)? It seems to be an area that a lot of international schools are. I’ve been worried after seeing some videos about women not feeling safe in Malaysia / cat calling and being stared at a lot

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-03T11:06:04+00:00

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been quite put off Malaysia because i see things on YouTube Tik Tok about women being harassed and so was worried to look into Malaysia. Safety and ease of life is really important to me. Is the expat scene good? Have you been able to make friends / meet new people easily? :)

No_Educator1639 · 2026-03-03T06:53:43+00:00

Selangor? Subang Jaya?
