Good Afternoon
I am thinking of moving to the Middle East for a short period of time in the next few years, and find a job in teaching English to non English individuals.
Is there a demand for teachers to teach English in the Middle East?
What is the best way to approach this? Would it be better if I speak to a recruitment agency here in the UK first?
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Do you have a specific country or countries in mind? I'm sure it varies widely.

Hi Susan
I was thinking of countries like - Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Dubai, Abu Dubai.
Thank You.

Hi
There are plenty of opportunities in those countries. I'd start searching in the UK, get a job lined up before going out there. Try looking in the Guardian and the Times Educational Supplement.
Let us know how you get on.

Thanks for your reply, Susan.
How much teaching experience do you think I would need before applying to jobs abroad?

It varies according to the school. The more experience you have, the better the job. Usually.

There are good opportunities to work in the middle east on teflhub.com. Lots of positions in Saudi Arabia here https://www.teflhub.com/tefl-jobs/?sa=222. I've found this site a very helpful resource that combines lots of job postings from other sites also. Hope this helps
