Pros

Students are amazing and management was very accommodating and open to suggestions. Materials were provided by the school and teachers didn't need to worry about worksheet prep.

Cons

Some other teachers were not happy in the Maldives and blamed their unhappiness on the school. cost of living can be high if you want to be an expat only and fail to acknowledge the local side of things. salary could be higher but with rent paid, can go by and save some too.

Pros

The students are amazing, they generally speak a high level of English and are very friendly

Cons

Management, the schools management is some of the worst I have ever seen. They often refuse to answer messages and will throw teachers under the bus if the parents have any problems Materials, the teaching materials teacher are told to use range from useless to awful. The owner insists on creating these themself, dispite never working as a teacher. This results in nonsensical materials that don't follow any structure or wider learning objectives. Any feedback given to management about this is taken as a personal attack on the owner and they refuse to make any changes.

Bad management

Pros

Easy classes and you get to live by the beach. If you like the beach and you want to relax then this is an easy job. The apartment was decent compared to the salary, working conditions and other apartments in other countries. There are no expectations they don’t really take this job seriously so you can basically do whatever you want in the classroom because management does not care. All they care about is keeping the kids and parents happy to keep making money.

Cons

Maldives is quite conservative. The men will stare at you if your shoulders are exposed or hair is down or if you’re wearing shorts or a skirt. There’s no alcohol unless you go to another island and it’s very expensive. All the groceries are expensive because it’s imported. The salary is low so by the time you spend on groceries and bills you don’t have a lot to save. There isn’t anything to do on the island if you don’t like the beach. The management is bad. They don’t care about teachers, they only care about the paying parents. If the students misbehave they don’t really discipline them. They don’t support teachers and they come deliver worksheets to your apartment after hours or on weekends. It is unprofessional. They also are unsupportive with misbehaving students so they won’t take the teachers side. They will try to blame the teacher if the don’t like you. No room for growth, no benefit for students other than giving them worksheets to keep busy.
