Hello, i hope all is well.  Am a Ugandan currently living in the UAE.   
I am currently doing my Business English certification,completed my TEFL certificate,and have an advanced diploma in Software Engineering as well as a Bachelors of Science in Applied Information Technology.

I am looking for a job as an English teacher in the UAE alternatively an English Communication skills tutor.Sadly, many of the jobs require one to be a native English speaker or have 2 or more years work experience in the UAE. 

I have taught English communication skills at a vocational Institute and with an NGO for a number of projects,i have 4 years experience.

  Since I have barely any time because of my current work hours to take my CV to different schools and prove am capable of handling the job, am stuck on how to go about it.  Is there any information or options you have that can help?

Sadly to say yes, getting a job as an English teacher here will most definitely mean you should be a native from an either an English speaking country or an European who is fluent in English. A background like yours will just be a hard in landing a job as a English instructor as there are a lot of native English speaking people here. Nonetheless i did suggest to you to save and visit the uae on a visit visa and approach the many schools around, who knows one might give you a chance to prove your self.

Thanks Flex.
I guess I'll just have to deliver my CV and try and meet with the HR or administrator/s.
