Maths Teaching Jobs in Dubai
If you’re exploring maths teaching jobs in Dubai, you’re looking in one of the fastest-growing and most international education markets in the world. Dubai’s schools value high-quality teaching, particularly in mathematics, and offer exciting opportunities with competitive tax-free salaries, strong benefits and a dynamic professional environment.

 

Salary & Benefits
Working as a mathematics teacher in Dubai, you can expect a tax-free salary (there is no personal income tax in the UAE). Higher quality international schools frequently bundle attractive benefits. While figures vary by experience, school type and role, here are some typical ranges and what to look out for:

  • Basic annual salaries for teachers in Dubai typically range between AED 9000 & AED 16,000 per month.  
  • £30,000 (AED 135,000) is the average annual salary for most British International Schools whereas you can expect £40,000 per annum or more for more experienced teachers or maths teaching roles with responsibility (2IC or Head of department).
  • Salary is only part of the package. Many schools add benefits such as accommodation or housing allowance, flights home, medical insurance, and end-of-service gratuity — which significantly enhance the overall compensation. These are all important factors to consider when comparing Dubai with UK packages as usually the Dubai package is more than just a salary.

 

Tax & Cost of Living
One of the advantages of teaching in Dubai is the absence of income tax on your salary — meaning you take home the full amount. However, it’s important to take into account living costs (rent, utilities, transport) which in Dubai can be higher than many home locations. Also check exactly what benefits are included in your contract (housing, utilities, flights) so you can compare total value.

 

Typical Employee Benefits
Many Dubai schools offer compelling benefit packages designed to attract overseas teachers:
 

  • Free or subsidised accommodation, or housing allowance (often furnished).
  • Annual return flights to your home country (sometimes for dependents too).
  • Health insurance for you — and sometimes family members.
  • End-of-service gratuity (a lump sum based on contract period).
  • Other perks: relocation allowances, perhaps waivered or discounted school fees for dependents.

 

Qualifications & Curriculum
Requirements vary widely between schools, but generally:

  • For secondary mathematics roles you’ll often need a mathematics-related degree plus a teacher-training qualification (e.g., PGCE or B.Ed), and substantial teaching experience.
  • Some schools may consider early-career teachers (ECTs) within their maths department provided you have a strong degree and excellent references from your teaching practices.
  • Many schools in Dubai follow British, American or IB curricula. You will find job adverts referring to Key Stage levels (3,4 & 5), GCSE, A-Level or IB Maths. UK‐based teaching experience will transfer well for all of these positions.

 

Curriculum & Education Landscape

  • As a maths teacher in Dubai, you will be teaching topics from the UK curriculum — algebra, quadratics, trigonometry, etc., especially in British curriculum schools.
  • Standards in mathematics across the UAE have been improving, and while past assessments (such as PISA) show there is still room for growth, schools are committed to elevating student outcomes.

 

Why Teach Maths in Dubai?

  • Opportunity to work in modern international schools with motivated students and excellent facilities.
  • Tax-free salary and generous benefits packages can greatly enhance your savings potential and quality of life.
  • Living in a dynamic global city — Dubai offers a vibrant lifestyle, multicultural community and excellent transport links for travel and leisure.
  • Strong career development options: moving into senior roles (Head of Department, Curriculum Leader) often comes with higher pay and greater responsibility.
