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.

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I found my teaching approach outdated and disconnected from modern educational trends, especially with respect to differentiated instruction and inclusive practices.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

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 unsure about fundamental concepts like lesson planning and integrating frameworks such as Bloom’s Taxonomy. Despite teaching experience, I lacked a structured approach and a full understanding of essential teaching methodologies, leaving gaps in my skills.

I feel empowered and polished in my approach. Suraasa’s course provided me with practical insights into digital taxonomy and lesson planning, equipping me with the confidence and tools to deliver meaningful and structured lessons. Now, I’m prepared to face any classroom or academic challenge confidently.

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.

PgCTL enabled me to transition confidently to teaching, equipped with modern educational methods and practical classroom management skills, which I now apply as a business studies teacher with a clear, impactful approach.

As a teacher in India, I relied on my subject knowledge but lacked structured pedagogical methods that fostered engaging and inclusive learning.

I quickly advanced, landing a principal position within six months and enhancing my teaching methods for international contexts.

I struggled with using questioning techniques effectively in formative and summative assessments.

I gained insights into structuring both lower-order (LOTS) and higher-order (HOTS) questions, understanding their roles in critical thinking.

I struggled with understanding UAE’s educational standards and effective teaching strategies.

PgCTL deepened my knowledge in pedagogy, especially in concepts like rubrics and student assessment, making me confident and adaptable in the classroom.
