I *think* from my experience here (I've been here for two months) that a very large percentage of the people living in Dubai already speak english...

maybe look into teaching in a university or a high school?

Do you mean EFL or as a school subject?

there is an agency that places in UAE called teachanywhere
they place all over middle east and parts of asia, UK etc. positions in Dubai are harder to get (they'd rather fill spots no one wants to go to) so you have to have lots more experience for Dubai.
Also teachanywhere only deals with qualified (bachelor's in education or state teaching certificate).

I suggest you go online and search for Language Schools in Dubai and send your cv directly to them.

If you have a MA in TESOL, prospects are not bleak! You may want to look at websites of universities such as Zayed University and Higher Colleges of Technology. They have employment sites and are always looking for new blood.
Otherwise, with a lower degree, there are schools hiring as well.

Hi!

I would be interested in teaching English part-time, if I have the time.

I am supposed to be moved to Dubai this month (Oct, 2009). I will see how demanding my job is and how much free time I have. I am a certified grade 6-12 Social Studies teacher in Wisconsin, and have taught a LOT of hours as a substitute teaching English and ESL.
