Lesson times
What time is the lesson in the UK?
After-school time in Kuwait falls in the UK’s lunchtime and afternoon. That is why we match you with a teacher who is free at your times, rather than offering a fixed timetable.

Kuwait and the Gulf
Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman
Online lessons work the same in Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman: no drive across the city to a tutor and no waiting for a tutor to arrive. What changes is the school your child goes to and the curriculum it follows.
Kuwait City and across Kuwait
Kuwait has 585 private schools, and 426 of them teach foreign curricula, to 255,140 pupils (2021–22, Central Statistical Bureau). British-curriculum pupils sit the same IGCSE and A-Level papers as pupils in the UK, so we teach to their school’s exam board.
Bahrain
Bahrain is on the same clock as Kuwait (UTC+3 all year), so lesson times are the same. We bill in pounds: a £50 lesson is about BHD 25 (£1 = BHD 0.5034, Wise, read 10 Nov 2026).
Oman
Oman is an hour ahead of Kuwait (Gulf Standard Time, UTC+4 all year), so a 5pm lesson in Muscat is 1pm in London in winter. A £50 lesson is about OMR 25.5 (£1 = OMR 0.514, Wise, read 10 Nov 2026).
