A Dubai maths tutor has to ask
which curriculum first

Dubai's private schools teach many different curricula side by side, so a Dubai address says nothing about the syllabus. By KHDA's count for 2024–25, British schools hold roughly 37% of the city's private-school students, Indian schools 26%, American schools 14% and IB schools 7%.

Each of those runs maths to its own calendar and towards its own exams. A fifteen-year-old in Year 10 at a British school, Class 10 at a CBSE school and Grade 10 at an American school are preparing for three unrelated sets of assessments.

So before any teaching starts, we ask for the school, the year or class, and the course or syllabus code. Figures from Dubai Media Office's report of the KHDA data.

Living in Dubai tells us your time zone. It tells us nothing about your child's syllabus.

Why we ask about the school before anything else

How maths is taught at each kind of Dubai school

Four school types cover most Dubai families. Here is the maths route each one follows, and the detail that tells us exactly where your child is.

School typeThe maths routeWhat to send us
BritishNational Curriculum from Year 1 to Year 9. From Year 10, GCSE or International GCSE, picked subject by subject. A-Level or International A-Level in the sixth form.The board and syllabus code, for example Edexcel 1MA1 or 4MA1, or Cambridge 0580
IndianCBSE with NCERT textbooks, or ICSE, from Class 1 to Class 12, on an April-to-March school year.The Class, and for Class 10 whether it is Maths Standard or Basic
AmericanMaths taught grade by grade to US standards, then named high-school courses such as Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2.The grade and the course name on the timetable
IBMYP maths, then the Diploma: Analysis & Approaches or Applications & Interpretation, at SL or HL.AA or AI, and SL or HL

A few Dubai schools change route part-way, for example British to Year 11 and the IB Diploma after it. Tell us the route your child is on now and the one that comes next, and we plan with both in view.

Classes in Dubai time,
usually Sunday to Thursday evenings

Dubai schools teach Monday to Friday, and Friday is a short day that must end by 11:30. That makes Sunday to Thursday evenings, the nights before a school day, the ones most Dubai families book.

Our teachers are in India, 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of the UAE. Since neither country ever changes its clocks, a 16:00 lesson in Dubai is 17:30 for the teacher in December and in June alike.

Most Dubai lessons sit between 16:00 and 19:00 local time, which is early evening in India. During Ramadan, send us the timings your school announces and we'll move the class so it stays clear of iftar.

+1h30

India's lead over Dubai, fixed all year. A 17:00 class in Dubai starts at 18:30 for your teacher.

Three habits that keep tutoring in step with a Dubai school.

i

The school's unit,
checked first.

Before each class the teacher checks where your child's school has reached, whether that is simultaneous equations in Year 9 or the quadratic equations chapter in CBSE Class 10. The lesson backs up that week's teaching rather than running a second syllabus.

ii

One shared
worksheet.

Teacher and student write on the same live page in ClassArc's own browser classroom, with a whiteboard beside it and ArcSpace for 3D pictures of things like fraction pieces and volumes. There is no Zoom and nothing to install.

iii

Homework that
closes the loop.

Homework matches the day's class and whatever school covers next. Your child uploads a photo or types answers inside ClassArc, the teacher reviews it before the next lesson, and that lesson opens by going through it.

From a first message to a weekly Dubai slot

The only thing we need at the start is your child's school and year. The free class works out the rest.

No syllabus code at home? A photo of the front of one mock paper is enough for us to identify it.

Pick a slot in UAE time

Most families choose a school-night slot between 16:00 and 19:00. WhatsApp reminders arrive 24 hours and 1 hour before, in Dubai time.

Our findings, then weekly classes

We tell you what we found, even if it is that tutoring is not needed. If you go ahead, it is the same teacher and the same slot every week.

What Dubai parents see between classes

You don't have to sit in on lessons to know what is happening. These are the things every family gets.

Why online tutoring works for a Dubai family

Dubai families are more likely than most to have children at different kinds of school, and to move between countries. These points follow from that.

Every major Dubai curriculum

British National Curriculum, GCSE, International GCSE and A-Level; CBSE and ICSE; IB MYP and Diploma; and American school maths. Siblings at different kinds of school can both learn with us.

One teacher for the whole year

The same person every week, who remembers which topic slipped last term. If the pairing isn't right, your next class is free and with a different teacher.

Help after a move

A student who arrives mid-course from India, the UK or another Gulf school usually has gaps in particular places. The free class is spent finding exactly where.

A lower price, and the reason for it

Classes cost less than typical Dubai rates because our teachers live and work in India, where costs are lower. The saving is geographic, and nobody is underpaid.

Blocks, never subscriptions

Buy 8, 24 or 48 classes. Nothing renews by itself, unused classes are refunded if you stop, and you can reschedule free up to 5 minutes before a class.

Full 55-minute lessons

Enough time to go through homework, teach something new and try an exam-style question without rushing any of the three.

Dubai maths tutoring, by curriculum

Each page below goes into the detail of one route as it is taught in Dubai.

Are your maths tutors based in Dubai?
No. ClassArc's teachers are based in India and every lesson is taught online, in our own browser classroom. We have no office, centre or staff in Dubai, and we'd rather say that plainly than let you assume otherwise.
Which Dubai school curricula do you tutor?
Maths for British schools (National Curriculum, GCSE, International GCSE and A-Level), Indian schools (CBSE and ICSE, Class 1 to 12), IB schools (MYP and Diploma AA and AI at SL and HL) and American schools. We don't teach the UAE Ministry of Education curriculum in Arabic.
What time are maths classes for Dubai students?
Most Dubai families book between 16:00 and 19:00 Dubai time on Sunday to Thursday. For the teacher in India that is 17:30 to 20:30. The gap stays at 90 minutes all year, because neither the UAE nor India uses daylight saving.
How do I tell whether my child sits GCSE or IGCSE maths?
Look at the code on a mock paper or in the school's options booklet. Edexcel 1MA1 is the UK GCSE, Edexcel 4MA1 is the International GCSE, and a code such as 0580 means Cambridge IGCSE. Our IGCSE maths tutor Dubai page explains the IGCSE routes in detail.
How many maths classes a week do Dubai students take?
Two a week suits most students during term, three in the run-up to exams, and one a week is enough to keep on top of things. At two a week, a Regular block of 24 classes lasts about twelve weeks, roughly one Dubai school term.
What does maths tutoring cost in Dubai with ClassArc?
Classes start at AED 45 for younger students and AED 60 for exam years, on the 48-class plan; every plan is on our UAE pricing page. For context, EdFlik's 2026 UAE tutoring guide, a commercial guide rather than official data, quotes about AED 100 to 200 an hour for IGCSE-level tuition.
Is the first class really free?
Yes. It is a full 55-minute lesson with the teacher who would go on to teach your child, and you don't need a card to book it. Afterwards we tell you what we found, including if we think your child doesn't need tutoring.
Can I ask questions on WhatsApp before booking?
Yes. Message us on WhatsApp at +91 78781 48026 with your child's school and year, and we'll suggest a teacher and a Dubai-time slot. It is an Indian number because our team is in India, and we reply within a day.
