5 Hot Teaching Takes After Teaching For 10 Years
Moving to the UAE? Sort these BEFORE you go 🇦🇪
Comment UAE to learn more
I’ve helped thousands of teachers move abroad, and there are a few things I regularly see people forget until it’s too late.
Save yourself the headache and get these sorted before you fly 👇
📄 Attested documents
Get your certificates and important documents attested, copied and organised in one secure folder. Your future self will thank you.
🏥 Short term insurance
You may have a gap between arriving and receiving your employer provided health insurance, so make sure you have suitable cover for that period.
💊 Prescriptions and medical paperwork
If you take regular medication, make sure you have everything you need, including the relevant paperwork and enough medication to cover the transition.
💳 Your bank cards
Monzo, Starling and Revolut can be really useful for spending abroad and avoiding unnecessary fees. Also let your existing bank know you’re moving overseas so your card doesn’t suddenly decide to stop working.
🔐 A VPN
Getting one set up before you leave can be useful for accessing certain services and using public Wi Fi more securely.
💷 Your UK tax
If you’re leaving the UK to work abroad, look into notifying HMRC and whether you need to complete a P85. You may be due a tax refund depending on your circumstances.
📱 An unlocked phone
Make sure your phone is unlocked before you leave so you can easily use a local SIM or eSIM when you arrive.
Moving abroad is exciting, but the admin can be a lot.
Get the boring stuff sorted before you go and you’ll have far more time to enjoy the exciting stuff when you arrive.
I’ve put together a full guide covering the process of moving abroad and teaching in the UAE.

After an incredible 18 months, my time with Picture News has officially come to an end.
Stepping into a marketing role within the education space was a fantastic opportunity to bring 8+ years of organic content creation experience on my own platforms straight into a commercial environment.
A massive thank you to Katie Harrison Harrison and the rest of the amazing team at Picture News for trusting my vision from day one.
It’s been a privilege to help scale the business, showing not only how to use a range of content formats to bring in views through experimentation, but also showcasing how generative AI can amplify content and transform internal workflows.
Over the last year and a half, I’ve loved expanding my toolkit beyond views and awareness such as advertising, lead generation and automation development.q
I’m incredibly grateful for the trust, the collaboration, and everything built together.
It’s been a privilege to support and I can’t wait to help other brands grow.

🎮 PhonicsPlay: One of the most well known phonics platforms with a huge range of games and activities that align well with early reading progression.

It’s funny how quickly your definition of success can change.
A month ago I was focused on the next project, the next milestone, the next opportunity.
I thought I had everything mapped out in life and then you happened
Nothing really prepares you for how much becoming a parent shifts your mindset.
Over the last month or so I’ve felt more motivated than I have in years because I have a much bigger reason to make things work.
There are some exciting opportunities and change on the horizon and plenty of hard work ahead.
