How we choose

How we pick your child’s teacher

  1. You tell us what is needed. The stage, subject, exam board and the days and times that suit you in UAE time.
  2. We choose the teacher. Someone who teaches that exam board and is free at your times. Tell us if you would like a PGCE-qualified teacher, a female teacher or a teacher with SEND experience.
  3. You meet them for free. The teacher meets your child online in a free assessment and finds out what to work on first.
  4. You get a written plan. The plan, the teacher and the exact price in pounds. Nothing is booked until you agree.

How we check every teacher: our safeguarding policy.
