Interested in Teaching English in Oman?!

This pic was taken 4 years ago with the first group of Omani students that I’ve ever taught. (in Ibri)

With the new school year upon us, I’m reminded of all the personal emails I’ve received from people over the years asking for information about how and where to go about finding a job teaching English here in the Sultanate of Oman.  I wanted to give this link with quite a few good teaching programs available.  If you are a qualified teacher and you’re reading this blog somewhere overseas and playing with the idea of giving Oman a try, I say, “Go for it!”  Oman has been a wonderful place to teach, learn, live and love during the past 4 years and I’m glad to call this place “home”.  🙂

From “As Busy as a Bee” to “As Cool as a Cucumber”

  May is always a hectic month for college/university teachers in the Sultanate of Oman as teachers hurry to get papers/exams marked before the end of the spring semester.  Once it’s all over and done with, it’s time to relax and (except for the weather…) it’s “as cool as a cucumber“!  🙂                                     

Things Officially Coming to a Close at Ibri College

This was from an official ceremony a few weeks back at Al Masarat Hall in Ibri College

Some dates on campus

The semester has ended! Classes are over as are the final exams. Marking of the final exams has also been completed (apart from a few teachers still working on marking year 1 exams this week). For the next 3 weeks, teachers will be coming into their offices but there is no work to do really. Even the cafeterias are closed which make it even harder and more boring sitting around waiting for vacation to officially start…Really looking forward to going home soon!

Omani Students – gotta love ’em!

This is Abdullah Shemali. One of my brightest and most cheerful FY students.

Moustafa who has probably shown the most improvement of all students in the past 12 weeks.
