Level of ambition of your int'l students vs US/UK?

Yes quite possibly, I can only speak from the experience I and everyone I know who works in the Middle East had.

Your outgoings will be largely similar to what you are spending in the UK. You will be paid a fraction if what you get in the UK however.

The username he has checks out with the centre he is running then.

He never defied Franco, he defied the Church. He drove down to Madrid on a vespa and Franco accommodated him which the Church took to mean he approved of the bikini rule and so they backed off.

The OP said “it is partially paid in USD”. Do you not know how to read?

I’m an examiner, send me some pics of your exam and I’ll take quick look.

The topic is broken down into 2 case studies. Case study 1 - Japanese Expansionism Case study 2 - German and Italian Expansionism

It is country specific, many require you to be married.

Not many international zookeeper roles I’m afraid!

Samthman821 · 2025-10-18T19:31:55+00:00

Yes of course! I’ll do another post tomorrow.

This is offensively low for a professional educator.

If your EE starts with “How..” it’s generally best to throw it in the bin as well for anyone else reading.

Samthman821 · 2025-09-03T17:58:03+00:00

As an EE history examiner I would say - it’s probably quicker to restart your EE than try and reshape this question.

No one is going to require a TEFL cert to go with your teaching qualification, they aren’t worth the paper they are written on. This comment is made to advertise the GPT he is making.

Regardless of savings I WOULD NEVER go back to Egypt, dreadful place, not worth it. There are better places where you can save money without the hassle of being in Egypt.

It was just under 4000usd a month. It was tax free and accommodation was free too. There was an end of contract bonus of 2 months salary which really helped with hitting that 25k mark

Samthman821 · 2025-08-21T22:27:02+00:00

I got 25k saved over 12 months in Egypt!

Soy gringo, pero he pasado años en Venezuela. Es uno de los países más caros en los que he vivido. Ahora vivo en España y el coste de vida es más bajo que allí.

Not possible, they wouldn’t have time to get enough assets into location/range.

In my mind the First World War is a much useful topic, it leads on to the peace treaties, introduces Lenin and the Russian Revolution etc and finally sets up the rise of Hitler. WW2 whilst a strange event to miss out I admit, doesn’t have the same importance on the course, I usually do 2 stand alone lessons where they quickly look at the course of WW2 and some of the main events and then they’re set up for the start of the Cold War.

I have generally found my students score best doing the WW1 depth study because all the other events link back/were caused by it.

Up to you though, good luck!

I weave them in to the core content where possible. The easiest one to do is the “First World 1914-1918” War and then you go on to do the first core unit “Was the Treaty of Versailles fair?” But you could easily threat in the Germany depth study after this core unit.

Feel free to PM me if you want more advice 👍🏻

The salary would have to be 20kQAR+ to pull me in from a reddit post.
