Teacher Success Stories

I was looking to become a Special Educator in the USA.

I have been with Suraasa for the past 2 years now. With the help of wonderful mentors, I upgraded and implemented my knowledge of learning and teaching as a 21st century teacher. And I achieved my goal of getting a job in the USA.

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.

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I found my teaching approach outdated and disconnected from modern educational trends, especially with respect to differentiated instruction and inclusive practices.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

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.

I started as a teaching assistant, with little experience in handling various age groups and pedagogical challenges, and wanted to transition to a full teaching role.

I gained the necessary skills, achieved my goal of becoming a teacher, and received a promotion within six months, moving into a fulfilling teaching role.

My teaching approach was more lecture-based, and I felt unprepared for tough interviews. I wasn’t confident in using differentiated learning techniques or structuring lessons to focus on students.

I’m comfortable applying student-centric methods in my teaching, creating interactive, engaging lessons. The demo interviews and feedback sessions provided by Suraasa prepared me thoroughly for real-world interviews, boosting my confidence and readiness.

I struggled to fully understand and apply teaching strategies and methods effectively in my lesson planning.

I now integrate advanced teaching strategies, use new apps and activities in class, and feel well-prepared for international teaching roles, particularly in Dubai.
