A local center can suit children who like working alongside others. If your child needs focused one-to-one teaching, the free assessment lets you try it first.

Mother and daughter using a laptop together — Lessons run live on Zoom from home, with a parent welcome to sit in.

Reading tutoring in Dubai: questions

Are your reading tutors based in Dubai?

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

Do you follow the Dubai 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: phonics checks, 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.

How much does a reading tutor in Dubai cost?

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 Dubai?

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 Dubai schools?

We aren't connected to Dubai schools or districts, and we have no office there; every lesson is online. Whichever school your child attends, lessons follow the English programs of each school's curriculum. Share homework or topic lists and the tutor will match them. Schools in Dubai usually run late August to early July (varies by curriculum), and you can start lessons at any point in the year.
