Teaching salary and benefits with ADVETI by TeacherNaz
Hi I have just recieved an intial offer from ADVETI and was wondering if it will be enough. I will be coming to the UAE (don't know which school yet), with my husband and 2 children (aged 4 and 1). Can someone tell me if the following is enough to ...
Umme, I just saw your other question: Car's are easy to lease or, buy new; and there are mostly new to fairly new cars on the road. Plus the UAE govt is strict about road worthiness. The worst clogging is the traffic in Sharjah at peak hour ; ... Read More

Umme... What's the difference between teaching boys or girls? No difference in the teaching of the lessons; but the behaviour management tends to be different according to the focus levels, 2nd language learning challenges, absorbtion levels ... Read More

Did you get help with housing? How easy was it to sort a house and car? I got 'help' from another teacher, to find my accommodation initially. Adveti assists with any legals you don't understand. You know anything about my hours or ... Read More

Umme, You will not be moved in the first year.. that is not the Adveti way.... No, you will usually do at least a year in one emirate before you will (possibly) be moved. So relax on that front. I was in Ajman campus (north east of Dubai) for the ... Read More

Feeding Stray Cats by shanafashyaana
There are plenty of stray cats in Corniche Street, Abu Dhabi, and most of them are so friendly and cute. Me and my friend whom I met during this activity are feeding them and we are sharing the expenses now. Presently we are only two to share the ...
I've noticed on youtube and vimeo, that people doing this kind of work do much better with donations if they FILM and PHOTOGRAPH what they are doing... make little stories. Just a hint: if anyone is savvy in setting up a social media page and a ... Read More

This is normal - I had the same wait - it was three months from starting interview, to finalising my paperwork and getting on the plane. I currently still work for Adveti. Its a good salary package with Adveti; and if you are careful with your ... Read More

The BEST thing you can help with - apart from the great service of feeding these lovely animals - is to get them spade (desexed). Stop the breeding of more homeless cats... very humane. Good work guys, for all the love you are sharing..... xx Read More
Job offer of AED15,000 by Mohammed Ayoob
I have a job offer of AED 15,000 wanted to check if its good offer to move in Dubai with family of 4. Kindly advice THanks
