What I wish I knew Before I Moved
🌍 What I Wish I Knew Before Moving to Teach Abroad
Every teacher’s journey into international schools is different — and those first few months in a new country can be full of surprises. That’s why we’ve created a new section: “What I Wish I Knew” — a growing guide of real advice, location-specific tips, and cultural insights from educators around the world.
Whether you’re headed to your first international post or already abroad and want to share your hard-earned knowledge, this is the place to help others feel more prepared.
