Before PgCTL, I was already a tutor and teacher for 9 years.

There is a huge difference in my teaching practice now.

I wanted to develop a strong understanding of best practices in teaching and learning and apply those skills.

I got a job offer within 6 months and received the golden apple award for setting an outstanding learning environment.

I had no idea that Suraasa was going to be a life changing platform for me.

I cracked job interviews in 3 dream schools and was acknowledged for establishing consistent teaching and learning practices.

I did not know about teaching theories, strategies and their correct terminologies.

I got a new job as a Planner. Students connect beautifully with my lessons and I evaluate them through data regularly.

I joined the school as a homeroom teacher and wanted to grow.

Now I am able to reflect upon my teaching practices which is a process of self observation. I became the Subject Coordinator in 6 months.

I was working as a Support Teacher.

I got a new job and a 50% increment in my salary.

I didn't know much about lesson planning, assessments and questioning skills.

My learning coach recorded my video of interaction with students and held a meeting to show it to all the teachers.

I wanted to obtain my teaching license and grow in my career.

I implemented strategies that increased student participation, attendance and led to better performance on assessments.

I was struggling when I came to UAE and applied to several schools but in vain.

Still being a student at Suraasa I'm already employed.

I was demotivated because of failed interviews due to lack of teaching experience in the UAE.

I am now achieving milestones in teaching and receiving compliments from my line manager as appraisals.

Lesson planning was acceptable/good Communication and feedback was limited to PTMs.

I reflect on my teaching strategies, and have fine tuned myself. The course has taught me the finer details of lesson planning and how to execute them well.

I wasn't sure about how I could balance my personal life, work life and getting a teaching qualification.

I was a good teacher before joining Suraasa but now I am a much more refined teacher.

I made a promise to myself that I'll gain this qualification.

The strategies I've learned have helped me in better engagement with my students. I'm more confident now and take more risks.

I had the responsibility of finding the right distance learning program during the pandemic.

I enrolled myself in PgCTL and found solutions and communicated my learnings with colleagues.

I was working at the same place for 3 years and wanted change.

The interview and pedagogy skills I learned helped me get a new job.

I was struggling in shifting from an interior designer to a teacher.

I got 4 interviews and cracked 2 out of them. I am now able to put lessons together and run effective online learning.

I was a qualified optician in the UK before and was actively pursuing a teaching opportunity in one of the best Schools in Dubai.

I bagged my dream job because of PgCTL and gained renewed self confidence, a drive of motivation and a fresh outlook.

I moved to Dubai and was looking for a career progression. I was looking for a platform that would increase my employability.

The concepts I learned have helped me immensely in improving my teaching and settle in my new environment.

My lesson implementation was good.

I have advanced my reflective teaching practices which has led to better achievement of goals. My lesson implementation has progressed from good to an outstanding level.

I had subject expertise but was lacking pedagogical skills.

Now I am able to successfully implement various teaching styles and theories in my lessons.

Entering a class was a different experience. The level of confidence as a teacher was much lower.

Way of teaching has changed and is now more focussed on the students' needs. I am motivated, confident and have embraced technology.

I did not know much about teaching theories and strategies.

I can now design my lessons by using different styles and assess students using formative and summative assessment. I can also use technology more effectively now.

I was an ambitious educator who wanted to be known as an outstanding teacher with unique skills and exceptional talents.

I now picture myself as a 21st Century educator who is strongly determined to demonstrate the roles of a teacher and a leader. I can deliver quality education with best teaching and learning practices.

I was making good lessons and creating a nice engaging atmosphere in the classroom.

My passion for teaching has transformed into more exciting, fun-filled, differentiated, well-planned & structured lessons which engage my students and have helped them become passionate learners.

I was always inclined towards teaching but couldn't figure out a way to transition into this domain.

Each class gives me a sense of relief.

A very strong passion to teach was there but the skill was lacking.

The course helped me think more strategically and implement new ideas that have made such a huge difference in the performance of my learners.

I wanted to gain teaching qualifications as part of the KHDA requirements and self development.

I am more confident in handling students and can teach more effectively.

I loved being a part of activities but lacked confidence when it came to action.

I have learned to stay self motivated and my readiness level to accept any challenge has increased.

I wanted to bring change to life and facilitate learning to my learners.

I can now create more engaging and well-organized lesson plans.
