• settling in during COVID and how the first six months can feel 
• key differences between UK schools and UAE private schools, including scale and expectations 
• diversity in international schools and how it changes classroom experience 
• a realistic day-to-day routine in Dubai, including early starts and planning time 
• managing fear and pupil reassurance during regional conflict and shifts online 
• advice for teachers holding an offer letter and weighing up the move
