Single in Saudi..... and teaching.....

I am not a teacher, so I cant speak about the requirements (TEFL and TESL).

As V said, if you are working directly for Aramco we can give you some advice. If its for a contracting company for Aramco or another company all I can say is be very careful, do your homework, and try to talk to real people who already have experience with that company.

My wife was a teacher in Fl, and we are both swim coaches here in Ras Tanura. The teachers I know (working for Aramco) seem to be very happy here. Unlike the States where a large portion of your time is taken up by classroom management, here the teachers are actually able to (gasp!) teach! The kids come from 2 parent households, none are in poverty, drugs are not an issue, and discipline is infinitely better. No, its not perfect, but comparing it to Florida schools is like comparing a prison to a 5 star resort.

Most of the kids here speak english as it is the official language of the company. (Arabic isnt even taught until somewhere around the 6th grade if I remember correctly). Some kids are better at english than others, but the kids I work with all seem to do very well.

Good luck!
