Are your reading tutors based in Abu Dhabi?

No. TaleemSquare tutors teach online, so Abu Dhabi families get one-to-one reading lessons without travelling to a center. Lessons are scheduled in Gulf Standard Time and follow the Abu Dhabi curriculum your child uses at school.

Do you follow the Abu Dhabi English curriculum?

Yes. Tutors align lessons with the English programs of each school's curriculum and with your child's own school work. Share homework, worksheets or the topic list and the tutor will match it.

Can you help my child prepare for IGCSE, IB or other English exams?

Yes. Exams depend on your child's school curriculum: GCSE or IGCSE English, IB English, or board exams. Tutors build the underlying reading skills first, then practise questions in the right format as the test approaches.

TaleemSquare plans start at AED 310 a month for two 45-minute one-to-one lessons a week, about AED 38.75 a lesson. Three lessons a week cost AED 435 and four cost AED 545. There is no contract, and the first assessment is free.

What times are lessons available in Abu Dhabi?

Lessons are scheduled in Gulf Standard Time, usually after school on weekdays or at weekends. Your child keeps the same tutor and weekly slots, which you agree after the free assessment.

Do you work with Abu Dhabi schools?

No. TaleemSquare is an independent online tutoring service: we aren't affiliated with any school or district in Abu Dhabi, and we don't have a local office. Children from any public or private school, whatever its curriculum can join. Lessons follow the English programs of each school's curriculum, and the tutor also works from the homework your child's teacher sets. Schools in Abu Dhabi usually run late August to early July (varies by curriculum), and you can start lessons at any point in the year.
