Hello everyone ,
By coincidence I found this site. I immediately registered here because I felt that I will get an answer to my questions.

I want to work as a teacher in an international school in Jeddah. I will be grateful if you could give me an idea about the salary a teacher could make. I have an Architecture degree and a ESL certificate. Does my Architecture degree affect on my salary?

Is there any possible way to work from home as an architect here in Jeddah ?

Thank you for your help and generosity .

Thank you for responding
I have applied for JIS ( Jeddah International School ) and DJS ( Dar Jana School )
I heard hat these two schools are one the best. So I'm still waiting ...
But I asked for 1800$ This is less than 7000SR, Isn't it ?

Any recommendation for other schools ?

To work as an architect is a bit difficult, especially if you plan to work with 3D max or any other graphic design software or draw with autocad because Indian are doing well in this field with low cost.

There are design offices and consulting one which you maybe interested in but they need to meet clients and visit sites.

So teaching is the right step for you in this circumstances and finding a position in an international school with good saliry would be not that easy.

By the way try to visit all job seeking site like bayt and monster, wish you the best in your job seeking.

If your architecture degree is a masters or PhD, you might be able to teach architecture at one of the local universities. However, if it's a BA, it may be tough for you to get hired for an EFL position because your degree isn't related to English, education, TEFL, etc. Of course, you could always research the specific schools you're interested and apply anyway. Otherwise, it's difficult to say what salary your qualifications would get you, if you even qualify at all.

What about teaching math instead of English?

Hi rammeh,

One of the most important this is what country you and your degree are from. That will have a lot to do with what your salary will be. one of my first jobs overseas I worked with a person from Morocco, she had a masters at the time and I, an American has only my BS at the time. My salary was over 1000 US a month more than hers.
Another thing you may want to do is look into getting a CELTA or a TEFL. It takes about 30 days and with that you can teach in a university. When I worked at PNU most of the teachers I worked with didnt have an education related degree. I had one that had a degree in art with the focus on pottery. So this to me shows they will hire most people as long as they have some type of a degree.
The pay for working at a university is usually higher and the work hours are less.
An international school has different rules. While they will hire a person that is their on the husbands or wifes Iqama with an unrelated degree they usually wont hire a person and bring them in without one. The MOE has to approve the person in order for them to get a visa and one of the requirement is a degree in Education.

Just keep searching, you will get it at the end hopefully.

Just keep in mind when you start your first job you will get stick with this field for your next ten years

, and if you decide to change it you will start again almost like fresh graduate.

choosing wither to work in teaching or in architecture would decide your job track in life, so be wise and don't rush

.

Finaly, it depends on your plan for the next years, are you looking for long term job or just want to fill your time with anything useful?

Make your mind.

I managed to get a teaching job in an international school i'm happy with it but wished for higher salary ... But usually in schools the range is between 2500-4000 SR
That's what i heard about since I worked there are some exceptions for those who have an European nationality ... I think that their salary might be more than 5000 so if you had the chance to teach upper grades with a common salary it would be perfect !!!
We always aim for the better but we have to stick to what we have at least for the time being ...
Thanks for all of your support guys

They say that life is about chances ... When you find one take until you find the other ...

Another thing I must mention that your degree is not important as much as your fluency in English , presence and confidence !

Wish u all the best

THis is true. I was offered a job just this week ( I am Asian ) and I received the same salary range offer + basic benefits e.g health benefits, accommodation, transpo etc.

I haven't signed yet though.

They say that you usually get an increase of salary over time.

Hello Ranneh,
First of all, good luck finding suit school meets your needs of the wage you looking for.
Also, Dar Jana, is a good school according to my relatives who studying in there.
If you think you are qualified to teach in there I can manage a meeting with the Executive Manger there since I know him.

Please let me know so I can have him look in your file if you left it there.

Regards,
Taz

at a university/college like Effat University (where they have an English academy and a school of Architecture) you can earn about 12000 SAR/month without a Ph.D. So if you have a master's you might be able to teach at a college.

Riyadh treat foreigners like rubbish. They will promise you and that but once you are there, you will be very miserable. You need to understand the culture there and you must insist of them giving you money so that you get your own accommodation. A good accommodation there is SAR150 000 per year and issues like school fees will for English syllabus is SAR80 000 per year. They may not allow you to go home within first 6 months.

Fair enough but at the same time people should be given accurate information about the country they will be working in. Maybe the first sentence but i still believe the rest are true. I have been there during 2011 and i saw few teachers being depressed about the state of the situation. Nurse are relatively OK since they are being given a better accommodation especially KFMC and National Guard which is even more liberal.

I am new in Jeddah and have a decent job with a decent salary. I would like to bring my wife, but being a working woman in India, she would like to work in Jeddah. She is presently in Hospitality field. How easy will it be for her to get a job . Salary is not that inportant, but getting engaged in some work is the need.

Getting a job in that field for a non-Saudi female will be very difficult. Go visit some 4 and 5 star hotels and ask if they would consider your wife. Another option is event management companies.

You can do that research yourself - google: international schools + desired city and you will be able to find the international schools. The expected salary differs from schools and the level of their need to hire you.
