CBSE & ICSE Online Tuition for Indian Students in the UAE
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are only ninety minutes behind India — so a tutor here fits your evening exactly like it would back home.
The UAE is home to one of the largest Indian communities outside India, and many children there are already enrolled in CBSE- or ICSE-affiliated Indian schools in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. A tutor who teaches the same syllabus, in the same kind of evening slot a family would use back in India, makes staying on top of schoolwork straightforward rather than one more thing to schedule around.
Because the UAE is just an hour and a half behind India, a class at 6pm in Dubai is only 7:30pm in India — well within a normal after-school tutoring slot, no early mornings or late nights required. We teach the full range of subjects, including Kannada and Hindi for families keeping those languages alive at home.

- One-on-one, live and online — no travel needed on either side
Timings and curriculum for families in the UAE
India is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of the UAE, which makes the UAE one of the easiest places for us to teach: a 6pm class in Dubai, Sharjah or Abu Dhabi is 7.30pm in India, comfortably inside a tutor’s normal evening.
Many Indian schools in the UAE follow CBSE, so the textbook is usually the same NCERT one we work with every day; some follow ICSE or a British curriculum instead, and we teach from whichever book your child actually uses. Kannada and Hindi are a common request from UAE families who want a child to keep the language while growing up abroad.

Questions parents ask
What time would classes be in Dubai or Abu Dhabi?
India is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead, so almost any after-school hour works: a 6pm class in the UAE is 7.30pm in India. Morning slots before school are equally easy, and weekend timings are flexible.
Our school follows CBSE. Do you teach the same books?
Yes. Many Indian schools in the UAE follow CBSE, so the NCERT textbook is the one we work with every day. If your child’s school follows ICSE or a British curriculum, we teach from that material instead.
Can our child keep up Hindi or Kannada while living abroad?
Yes, and it is a common reason UAE families come to us. We teach both as school subjects and as reading and writing practice for children who speak the language at home but have never learnt to write it.
