Ha’il, Saudi Arabia

Posted on August 28, 2012 | 3 Comments

Since the 28th of August, 2012, I have been living and working in the city of Ha’il, Ha’il Province, Saudi Arabia. Working for the Saudi company, Al-Khaleej Training & Education, I teach English to students of the Preparatory Year at the University of Ha’il.

      Hi Terusha, thanks for your question. Ha’il University actually hires Al Khaleej Education & Training, who then supply the university with teachers. So although Al Khaleej employees work at Ha’il University, they are actually working “for” Al Khaleej. I hope that clears things up! 🙂

    Hi Nigel,
    I received an offer from Al Khaleej and so far I get negative and positive opinions about them. How is it or was it going for you? I’m most likely going to teach students of Preparatory Year and I was wondering about the workload of a teacher teaching within that program (lesson planning, etc.) and also the level of English expected. Is it like teaching IELTS preparation? Thank you.
