One-to-one CBSE maths for students at Dubai's Indian-curriculum schools, from Class 1 to Class 12, following the NCERT chapters in the order your child's school teaches them. Our teachers are based in India, where the CBSE board is set, and every class is 55 minutes with the same teacher, from AED 45.

February counts. May can improve it.
From 2026, a compulsory February board exam and an optional May one — we plan for both
What is ClassArc?
ClassArc is live one-to-one online maths tutoring for school-age children.
One teacher and one child, for 55 minutes. The same teacher every week.
Classes run inside our own classroom software, not a video call: a shared
worksheet you both write on, a shared whiteboard, and answers that sync live.
A CBSE school in Dubai follows the same syllabus, the same NCERT textbooks and the same board exams as a CBSE school in India. Indian curricula are Dubai's second-largest private-school group, with about 26% of students on KHDA's 2024–25 figures, and most of those schools are CBSE, with a smaller number on ICSE.
What differs is the neighbourhood. Dubai's Indian schools run an April-to-March year while the British school next door starts in late August, so Class 10 board preparation peaks in January and February, months before British-system exams.
CBSE schools say Class where a British school says Year and an American school says Grade. Some Dubai Indian-school websites use Grade too; we use Class, to match NCERT. Figures reported by the Dubai Media Office.

The syllabus is India's. The calendar, the time zone and the classmates' routes are Dubai's.
What we plan around
Class 10 from 2026
Two CBSE Class 10 board exams each year, from 2026
CBSE now holds two Class 10 board exams a year, and the first cycle ran in 2026. The February exam is compulsory for every student. The May exam is optional and exists so students can improve their score.
That changes how revision is planned. The February paper is still the main event, so the plan builds towards it. If a student wants another attempt at maths in May, we build a short, targeted plan around the chapters that cost marks, rather than repeating the whole year.
Class 10 students take either Mathematics Standard (041), for those continuing maths into Class 11, or Mathematics Basic (241), for those who are not. Each is marked out of 80 for theory and 20 for internal assessment. Check CBSE's current circulars at cbse.gov.in for each year's dates.
Feb+May
February is compulsory; May is an optional chance to improve. We prepare for the first and plan the second only if it is needed.
Stage by stage
CBSE maths from Class 1 to 12: what changes at each stage
The NCERT books build steadily, and most difficulty in a later Class traces back to a chapter that was never quite secure earlier on.
Class 1–5: number sense
Place value, the four operations, times tables and mental arithmetic, with early fractions and measurement.
Where it usually goes wrong Tables learnt by rote but not understood, which shows up later as slow, error-prone long division. We use short visual tasks, and ArcSpace to show fractions as pieces.
Class 6–8: the middle years
Fractions and decimals, integers, ratio and proportion, and early algebra such as linear equations in one variable. NCERT's newer Ganita Prakash books are replacing the older middle-school titles, so check which edition your child's school has issued.
Where it usually goes wrong Negative numbers and simple equations. Gaps here land directly on the Class 9 algebra that follows.
Class 9–10: the board years
Real numbers, polynomials, pairs of linear equations, quadratic equations, arithmetic progressions, coordinate geometry, trigonometry and its applications, circles, surface areas and volumes, statistics and probability.
Where it usually goes wrong Answers without the steps. CBSE marks the steps, so we practise full written solutions from NCERT exercises, then previous years' papers and timed sections.
Class 11–12: senior secondary
Sets, relations and functions, trigonometric functions, limits and derivatives, matrices and determinants, integration and differential equations, vectors and 3D geometry, linear programming and probability. CBSE also offers Applied Mathematics as an alternative course.
Where it usually goes wrong Calculus built on weak algebra. Much of this syllabus is also the base for JEE Main maths, and a solid NCERT foundation helps there.
How we teach it
Three things that make CBSE tuition work from Dubai.
i
NCERT first, then more.
Each class follows the school's current chapter, working through NCERT examples and exercises before any extra practice. If the school also uses a supplementary book, send us its name.
ii
Steps the teacher can see.
Teacher and student write on the same live worksheet, so the teacher sees where a solution goes wrong, not only the final line. That matters on a board that gives marks for steps.
iii
One teacher, April to March.
The same person follows your child's whole session and remembers which chapter slipped last term, instead of meeting a new tutor each time.

Do you teach from the NCERT books my child's Dubai school uses?
Yes. CBSE schools in Dubai use the same NCERT textbooks as schools in India, and we teach from them chapter by chapter, adding extra practice once the NCERT exercises are secure.
Should my child take Maths Standard or Basic in Class 10?
Standard is for students who want maths in Class 11 and 12, for example for engineering, economics or the sciences. Basic suits students planning to drop maths. The school makes the final decision, ideally early in Class 10, and we'll give you our honest view after the free class.
How do the two CBSE Class 10 board exams work?
From 2026, CBSE holds a compulsory board exam in February and an optional second one in May for students who want to improve their score. We prepare for February as the main exam, and build a focused May plan only if your child needs one.
Do you teach ICSE maths in Dubai as well?
Yes. We teach ICSE maths for Dubai's ICSE schools too, following the school's own order of topics. Tell us the board when you book so the teacher prepares from the right books.
Can you help with JEE preparation?
We teach Class 11 and 12 CBSE maths to board-exam depth, which is the syllabus JEE Main builds on. We are not a JEE coaching institute, and dedicated entrance-exam preparation is a different kind of work, so we'd rather say so than overpromise.
What does CBSE maths tuition cost in Dubai?
From AED 45 a class for Class 1 to 8 and AED 60 for Class 9 to 12, on the 48-class plan. Classes cost less than typical Dubai rates because our teachers are based in India. There is no joining fee, nothing renews automatically, and unused classes are refunded if you stop.
Can I ask about CBSE classes on WhatsApp first?
Yes. Message us on WhatsApp at +91 78781 48026 with your child's Class, school and current chapter, and we'll suggest a CBSE teacher and a Dubai-time slot. We reply within a day.
