They pay for a round-trip ticket, and some benefits, but the salary seems really low just like the teacher salary in the US. and the app provided are mostly for singles! Is it really worth it to teach at an American or International school in the middle east?? anyone? teachers? answers??
it depends which country you are about to teach in. The living standarts are different and with less money or the same like in the US you can live comfortably in some middle eastern countries. I am teaching in Egypt and I lead a relaxed life even with a lower salary than in Germany. Plus you will get to know a different culture which is worth more than a few bucks. BTW. Saudi Arabia does not allow single women to come in teaching, in case you are female. .. and in case you just start out to be a teacher – that will be a great oppurtunity to strengthen your teachings skills. different world here!

I am surprised that you say the salary is about the same as that paid for teachers in the US. In Saudi Arabia, the salaries are much higher and really worth it. I’m not sure in other areas of the middle east.
