Teacher Success Stories

Though experienced in youth work and special education, I felt the need for structured strategies to support neurodiverse students.

PgCTL equipped me with essential pedagogical knowledge and assessment skills, empowering me to make a greater impact in my teaching career.

I felt my teaching skills were largely theoretical. I often struggled to confidently handle real-world classroom challenges and felt limited in my knowledge of effective pedagogical techniques.

I became a skilled, confident educator. The program’s hands-on modules and continuous guidance equipped me with practical techniques, which helped me secure my dream teaching role in Dubai.

I needed to learn more about classroom management, differentiating instruction, and improving my pedagogical skills to meet UAE’s educational standards, which was a challenge.

I gained the skills I needed, passed the UAE teaching license exams on my first attempt, and earned a promotion to Head of Department, where I now enjoy leading and supporting my team.

With a medical background, my qualifications did not fully align with teaching requirements in UAE international schools.

PgCTL empowered me to transition fully into education, combining science expertise with teaching credentials to create meaningful student experiences, from classroom experiments to mentorship.

My teaching relied on conventional methods but lacked structured support for engaging students with modern pedagogical techniques.

I gained hands-on strategies and resources that enhanced my ability to create dynamic and responsive classrooms, especially helpful in adapting to online and interactive teaching environments.

I felt uncertain about how to create effective lesson plans and lacked the structured approach needed to engage my students fully. I struggled with classroom management and often felt overwhelmed when faced with unexpected challenges.

I feel empowered and equipped to handle my classroom confidently. I now understand how to integrate teaching theories practically, which has made my lessons more impactful.

I had teaching experience, but I didn’t fully understand what international schools were looking for. I struggled to present my skills effectively on my resume and lacked exposure to integrating technology in the classroom.

I’m confident in my skills and feel prepared to step into a classroom in Dubai or any international setting. The course provided me with hands-on experience in using educational technology, adapting my resume, and aligning my skills with what schools actually need.

I found my teaching approach outdated and disconnected from modern educational trends, especially with respect to differentiated instruction and inclusive practices.

I gained confidence, modern instructional techniques, and a renewed passion for teaching. I now handle diverse learning styles effectively, provide inclusive education, and can adapt multiple strategies in my lessons.

My background was primarily in coaching centers, and I lacked structured school teaching exposure."

PgCTL equipped me with structured lesson planning and student-centered teaching techniques, helping me secure my first school position and approach teaching with a new, outcome-focused perspective.

I was seeking an entry into a reputable teaching position in Dubai and faced challenges in transitioning from my previous role.

I transitioned to Head of Cycle, managing both academics and operations for primary grades, demonstrating a significant career progression.

I felt lost in my career direction. I had limited guidance, struggled with job placement. My confidence in my teaching skills and ability to find a suitable position was low.

I gained not only practical teaching skills but also the mentorship and guidance I needed to find better job opportunities. Suraasa's team supported me throughout the process, helping me secure a rewarding position with a higher salary and benefits.

With 14 years in corporate operations, my experience was rooted in team management and training, but I lacked specific pedagogical skills for teaching in a classroom setting.
