Online tuition questions, answered

Every class is live. Cameras and microphones on, questions asked out loud, work checked while the class is running. Classes cannot be downloaded. Learning happens in the exchange. Short practice videos and quizzes follow each session for revision.

In Regular Online Tuitions, six maximum, never seven. When the sixth seat is taken, the batch closes for the term. Specialised Subjects and Homework Assistance run one-to-one, or in a group of three. Class 11 and 12 are taught one-to-one, or in a group of three in the same grade and curriculum. Subjects taken across streams are taught one-to-one only.

Fifty-five minutes, with a five-minute break before the next subject. Long enough to teach a concept properly, short enough that a nine-year-old stays with it.

Monday to Friday, 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM Gulf Standard Time, in seven one-hour slots. In Regular Online Tuitions, one subject is taught each weekday. You choose the slot that fits your evening and keep it for the year. Specialised Subjects runs three classes a week, on either Monday, Wednesday and Friday or Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and Homework Assistance runs Monday to Friday. Apart from that Saturday option, weekends are for paid add-ons only, on Saturday, Sunday or both, at the same price either way: Arabic Weekends (AED 499 a month, excl. 5% VAT) and Orbit (AED 799 a term, excl. 5% VAT).

Grades 3 to 12, CBSE and ICSE, in separate batches for each board. We do not mix boards in one class.

Yes, at any point, at no charge, subject to a seat being free in the batch you want.

For Grades 3 to 10, Regular Online Tuitions is AED 450 a month, excl. 5% VAT: all five core subjects, one every weekday, in a class of up to six. Specialised Subjects covers any single subject of your choice, in Grades 3 to 12, at AED 600 a month one-to-one, or AED 500 in a group of three, excl. 5% VAT, in Grades 3 to 10. Homework Assistance, for Grades 3 to 10, is priced the same way: AED 600 one-to-one, AED 500 in a group of three, excl. 5% VAT. Class 11 and 12 have their own prices, set by stream: a three-subject bundle is AED 950 a month in a group of three or AED 1,250 one-to-one, excl. 5% VAT, and a single subject is AED 550 a month in a group of three or AED 650 one-to-one, excl. 5% VAT (see Class 11 and 12 fees).

All five core subjects (Mathematics, Science, English, Social Studies and a second language, Hindi), one subject each weekday, plus homework, quizzes, the question bank, live assessment, parent-teacher meetings and free summer workshops. Other Indian languages, such as Tamil, Malayalam or Kannada, are a paid add-on, not part of the AED 450 fee. Your advisor will share pricing. Arabic Weekends and Orbit are paid add-ons: Arabic is AED 499 a month or AED 1,800 for a 16-week course, and Orbit is AED 799 per 10-week term, all excl. 5% VAT. Choose Saturday, Sunday or both: the price is the same, and both days halve the term (Arabic 8 weeks, Orbit 5).

Yes. Regular Online Tuitions plus Homework Assistance is a common combination. Tell us what you need and we will quote a combined monthly figure rather than simply adding the two prices.

No. No registration fee, no material fee, no exit fee.

Monthly in advance, by bank transfer or card. There is no annual contract.

Yes. Enrol a second child from the same family and you receive a flat 10% reduction on tuition for three months. Ask us for the sibling coupon when you enrol; the reduction is applied to your following quarter’s invoice.

Yes, with fourteen days’ written notice. See the refund policy for detail.

Yes. One free demo class, and a second if you need it, in any subject. No card details taken.

Qualified subject teachers with CBSE or ICSE classroom experience, selected through a subject test, a live teaching trial and background verification. From Grade 9, Physics, Chemistry and Biology are taught by separate specialists.

Yes, any class, at any time, without notice. We treat this as a safeguarding requirement rather than a favour.

Tell us and we move them. No charge, no discussion, no notice period.

Sessions are monitored, one-to-one private contact between teacher and student outside class is prohibited, all teachers complete child protection training, and our full policy is published on this site.

Live assessment scores from every class, weekly homework tracking, attendance alerts after two missed classes, chapter-level reporting, and parent-teacher meetings at each milestone.

No, and we would be careful of anyone who does. We guarantee live teaching in a class of up to six, honest reporting, and that we will tell you plainly if something is not working.

Around twenty minutes after each class: a short video and a quiz. We are not trying to fill your child’s evening.

Fifty-five-minute sessions, five-minute breaks, in-class movement breaks, and deliberately short homework.

A laptop, desktop or tablet, standard home internet, a working camera and microphone, and their own school textbook. Coding classes need a laptop or desktop. There is nothing to buy from us.

Our timetable is built on Gulf Standard Time. Families in nearby time zones often manage comfortably. Ask us and we will be honest about whether the slots suit you.

Any week. Batches are sequenced to where your child actually is, not to a fixed intake date. Most families begin the Monday after their demo class.

Indian-curriculum schools in the UAE traditionally run April to March, and a transition toward the unified UAE calendar is underway. We follow the calendar your child’s school follows and adjust batches around it.
