ITP - 123 We are joined by Monique and Jimmy, two teachers who packed up their lives in the U.S. and are now gearing up for a big move to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Their story kicks off at a job fair—those hectic, slightly awkward events where life-changing decisions are made in 30-minute interviews and coffee-fueled conversations. They share the twists and turns that led them to say yes to this new chapter, and all the serendipitous moments in between.We also hear from Darian, who's already living in Saudi, and offers the kind of real-talk you wish you'd hear more often—what family life actually looks like over there, how the culture feels on the ground, and how kids adjust when “home” gets redefined.This conversation gets into it all—the nerves, the excitement, the never-ending to-do list before a big international move. There's talk of cultural shifts, how Saudi Arabia is changing fast, and what that means for families like Monique and Jimmy's. We talk about safety, schools, food, friendships, and those unexpected moments of connection that remind you why you took the leap in the first place.There are laughs, a few deep breaths, and a lot of reflection—on parenting abroad, building a life in a new place, and figuring out how to thrive, not just survive. From funny travel stories to heartfelt moments about what it means to chase something new as a family, this episode is a reminder that moving overseas isn't just about changing your location—it's about changing your lens.Chapters(00:00) Introduction and Guest Welcome(02:38) Monique and Jimmy's Journey to International Teaching(05:37) Job Fair Experiences and Serendipity(08:38) Finding the Right Fit in Saudi Arabia(11:31) Living in Saudi Arabia: Insights from Darian(14:36) Cultural Experiences and Family Life(17:31) Navigating Life as Expats in Saudi Arabia(21:33) Exploring Jeddah: A Family Adventure(21:40) Cultural Insights and Gender Dynamics(23:04) Safety and Freedom for Children(26:44) Preparing for Life in Saudi Arabia(31:01) Navigating the Relocation Process(36:02) Balancing Work and Family Transitions(36:14) Mid Break - Contact ITP(41:06) Networking and Finding the Right Fit(49:33) Preparing for the Move(52:30) Navigating Emotions and Adjustments(55:28) Cultural Identity and Home(57:12) Experiences Abroad and Connection(01:00:31) Packing and What Matters(01:02:35) Adventures and Misadventures(01:08:43) Final Thoughts and ReflectionsThe International Teacher Podcast is a bi-weekly discussion with experts in international education.

A new cohort of our Business Building 101 course is starting this week! If you're launching a studio, rebuilding after a move, or just want to build a more intentional, financially sustainable business, this course is designed to help you do exactly that—with clarity, structure, and support. And today's guest is a perfect example of what can happen when you combine a fresh start with the right tools. Mimi Zhang is the 2024 grand prize winner of our Studio Launch Grant competition. As part of her prize package, Mimi received a $1,000 startup grant, gift cards to Alamo Music and Alfred Publishing, and enrollment in the Music Studio Startup Business Building 101 course, and more—all of which she put to great use as she launched her studio in a brand-new city. When Mimi won the grant competition, she had just finished grad school, moved across the country, and was starting from scratch. In less than a year, she grew her studio from just three in-person students to nearly 40, added group classes, implemented strong business systems, and started building the studio she really wanted. In our conversation, Mimi shares the strategies that helped her grow quickly and sustainably, the mindset shifts that made a big difference early on, and how she's continuing to evolve her studio now that the foundation is in place.

ITP - 122  Your hosts welcome Greg Perry, co-founder and CEO of Global Services and Education Limited, to talk about his wild, winding journey in international education. Greg doesn't just talk about opening schools—he's lived it, from the ground up, across countries and cultures, figuring it out as he goes. We dive into the nitty-gritty: the challenges no one warns you about, the unexpected roadblocks, the delicate dance of opening a school in someone else's backyard.Greg gets real about what it takes. It's not just bricks and mortar—it's accreditation, business plans, politics, relationships. He stresses how every school needs a mission that actually means something, not just words slapped on a wall. And then there's the business side—oh, the business side. If you've ever thought education and business don't mix, Greg will have you thinking again.We also look at what's happening right now in international education: hiring teachers and leaders, navigating new expectations, and figuring out what the future holds. Greg's seen firsthand how trust is everything, especially when working with wealthy clients in different cultural contexts. He shares stories that stick with you—moments where cultural nuance made or broke a deal, moments when a relationship meant more than a contract.We talk about what's next: hybrid learning, the growing push to develop local teachers, and the big question of how education can evolve without losing its heart. By the end, Greg leaves us with a hopeful note—a reminder that, even with all the complexity, education still has the power to change lives, communities, and maybe even the world.Greg's Website: Global Services in Education https://www.gsineducation.com/_______The International Teacher Podcast is a bi-weekly discussion with experts in international education.

First, it's National Rubber Eraser Day! So get your Pink Pearls out and celebrate!!Then, we continue our conversation with Dr. Nicole Joseph of Vanderbilt University about the mathematical experiences of Black girls, revealing how they navigate spaces where they face unique challenges at the intersection of race and gender. Her research shows that Black girls are disproportionately affected by school disciplinary policies while simultaneously battling stereotypes about who belongs in mathematics.Joseph's Black Feminist Math Pedagogies framework offers a revolutionary approach to mathematics education that honors both academic rigor and social connection. She challenges traditional notions of what "serious" math learning looks like, showing how Black girls thrive in environments that allow for laughter, collaboration, and relationship-building alongside challenging problem-solving. This transformative approach requires teachers to create classroom communities where critical conversations about justice and equity can flourish.One message resonates clearly: curriculum alone cannot address educational inequities. Creating truly inclusive mathematics classrooms requires teachers who understand the complexities of students' identities and design learning environments where all students feel they belong. Academy of Best Practices is happening in San Diego, CA on Aug 4-8!
