Teaching at Princess Nora University by avakab

I was just sent a work permit and visa application to teach English at Princess Nora University. If you know anything about working conditions there and/or accommodations, please let me know. Do teachers live on the campus? What about security? ...

Yes, everything nomadicxpat has said is true, except that she is understating the situation. If you need money soon, then Princess Nora is not the job for you. It often takes 3-4 months to get your first salary because of the paperwork. If you are ... Read More

Enough of Princess Noura University by deocome

So true! A lot of teachers at PNU have depression and anxiety. PNU is very lonely. I can't remember when I was so lonely at work. Teachers are reverse snobs so they act like if you are friendly to someone you are less then them, so they never ... Read More
