Arabic is a compulsory subject in every Dubai private school: for many families who do not speak it, the one subject they cannot help with at home; and for many Arabic-speaking families, the one where speaking it well at home does not carry over to the grammar and writing the school marks. GetYourTutors places full-time Arabic tutors who come to your home anywhere in Dubai. Arabic is taught only by native Arabic speakers, working in Modern Standard Arabic (fusha), the form of Arabic schools teach.
Schools run two Arabic tracks. Students registered as Arab nationals follow the Ministry of Education first-language curriculum, which schools call Arabic A; everyone else takes Arabic as an additional language, Arabic B. Our tutors teach whichever track your child's school has placed them on, from Year 2 to Year 13 (Grade 1 to Grade 12; in IB schools, from age six to the end of the Diploma). Exam candidates learning Arabic as an additional language are taken through to the exam: IGCSE and GCSE Arabic as standard, and A-Level and IB Diploma Arabic B arranged on request.
Our tutors are academic specialists in school Arabic: they teach the Arabic your child studies at school, from the first letters to the final exams, and every placement is for a school-age student. Every placement begins with a free 30-minute trial lesson at your home, which doubles as the level check.

“We are incredibly fortunate to have Miss Minar as our son's tutor. She's an outstanding educator who excels in teaching subjects like math, physics, history, Arabic, and English. What sets Miss Minar apart is her remarkable ability to connect with students, break down complex concepts, and foster a genuine passion for learning. Thanks to her dedication and effective teaching, our son has made remarkable progress academically. We couldn't recommend Miss Minar more highly. Her positive impact on our son's education is truly invaluable :). Highly recommend this organisation to anyone looking for professional private tutors in Dubai.”

Yes. Under KHDA's Mandatory Subjects Guidelines, Arabic as an additional language (Arabic B) is compulsory for students registered as non-Arab nationals from Grade 1 / Year 2 up to and including Grade 9 / Year 10 — four lessons a week in KHDA's timetable allocation — and optional after that. Arabic as a first language (Arabic A) is compulsory for Arab nationals from Grade 1 / Year 2 up to and including Grade 12 / Year 13. Separately, under KHDA's Administrative Resolution No. 48 of 2025, Arabic is being introduced for younger children too, starting with four- to six-year-olds. (Last verified 17 September 2026.)
Arabic A is the shorthand KHDA inspection reports and Dubai schools use for Arabic as a first language: the Ministry of Education curriculum for students registered as Arab nationals on their Emirates ID. Arabic B is Arabic as an additional language, for everyone else. The school assigns the track by nationality, not by how much Arabic a child speaks. Parents of a non-Arab child may ask the school for the first-language track; the school may agree where appropriate assessments show the child can cope with that curriculum. Our tutors work on both tracks through the school years. The IB Diploma uses the same two letters for its own courses, chosen by level for the two Diploma years — course names, not the nationality-based school tracks. Of those, the one we tutor is the Diploma's Arabic B, for students with some previous experience of the language; for an Arab-national student in the Diploma years, KHDA's first-language Arabic continues to Year 13 (Grade 12), and that school Arabic is what we support.
Yes. Arabic is taught only by native Arabic speakers — a language qualification, not a nationality. Your child's tutor teaches in Modern Standard Arabic (fusha), the form of Arabic schools teach, so your child hears correct pronunciation and natural usage from the first session.
Non-native learners are familiar ground for our Arabic tutors. The tutor starts with whatever is blocking progress — usually the script, the sounds your child's other languages do not have, or vocabulary your child rarely meets outside school — and builds from there with short, regular practice matched to what the school is teaching that term. Parents who do not read Arabic get a clear picture of what to practise between sessions.
Yes, and it is common: speaking Arabic at home does not carry over on its own to the grammar (النحو والصرف), parsing (الإعراب) and composition (التعبير) that schools mark. The tutor works from your child's MoE textbook and recent marked work and builds the written skills the school assesses, in Modern Standard Arabic. Our exam-course support — IGCSE Arabic – Foreign Language, GCSE Arabic, A-Level Arabic and IB Diploma Arabic B — is for students learning Arabic as an additional language; for first-language students our support is the Arabic the school timetables — curriculum, homework and assessments — from Year 2 to Year 13 (Grade 1 to Grade 12), including the literature and essay work of the senior years.
Yes, for students learning Arabic as an additional language; a student on the first-language track continues with the Arabic A the school timetables through those years, and that is what we tutor. We support IGCSE and GCSE Arabic candidates — Cambridge IGCSE Arabic – Foreign Language and Pearson Edexcel GCSE Arabic — through Years 10 and 11 (Grades 9 and 10) to the exam, with past papers, mark schemes and timed practice in every paper the syllabus sets. An IGCSE or GCSE Arabic course does not count as the school's compulsory Arabic in the years that requirement applies: KHDA's guidelines note that the UAE's graduation equivalency requirements do not recognise exam-board syllabuses as alternatives to the Ministry of Education Arabic curriculum.
Yes, arranged on request, for students learning Arabic as an additional language. For A-Level Arabic (Cambridge International, or Pearson Edexcel's A Level or International A Level) or the IB Diploma's Arabic B course, tell us the course, level and exam session when you enquire, and we tell you before the trial lesson whether we can place a tutor for that syllabus. For a student on the first-language track, our support in the final two years of school is the Arabic A the school timetables — the MoE curriculum, its literature and essay work, and its assessments.
Get matched with a dedicated, full-time arabic tutor who comes to your home in Dubai.
Children in Dubai start Arabic from very different places. A student registered as an Arab national follows the Ministry of Education (MoE) first-language curriculum, taught in Modern Standard Arabic from the first year of primary school and continuing to the final year of school. A non-Arab student learns Arabic as an additional language, usually from the very beginning, starting with the script. Your child's track, school curriculum and year decide what the tutor teaches.
For students registered as Arab nationals: the MoE first-language Arabic curriculum, taught in Modern Standard Arabic, which many children who speak Arabic at home still find demanding on paper, and which continues to Grade 12 / Year 13. Our tutors help with:
For students registered as non-Arab nationals, from Grade 1 / Year 2 to Grade 9 / Year 10 — the years KHDA makes it compulsory — and after that wherever the school offers it or your child takes an exam course. Our tutors specialise in making the language manageable:
Families with a child on the first-language track usually ask us for a tutor when:
Our Arabic tutors cover the MoE first-language Arabic curriculum as your child's school teaches it — the textbook, the homework and the assessments for their grade — and work on the gaps the trial lesson finds.
Arabic is a compulsory subject in every Dubai private school. For children registered as non-Arab nationals it is mandatory from Grade 1 / Year 2 up to and including Grade 9 / Year 10 — four lessons a week in KHDA's timetable allocation — and optional after that; for Arab nationals it continues to Grade 12 / Year 13. Under a separate resolution, KHDA is also introducing Arabic for younger children, starting with four- to six-year-olds. An exam course in Arabic under the school's own curriculum — IGCSE, GCSE, A-Level or an IB Diploma course — does not replace this compulsory Arabic in the years it applies. (KHDA Mandatory Subjects Guidelines 2025-26; KHDA Administrative Resolution No. 48 of 2025 — last verified 17 September 2026.)
| Who and when | British curriculum | American curriculum | IB |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compulsory at school (KHDA), non-Arab students | Year 2 to Year 10 (early years from age four, being introduced) | Grade 1 to Grade 9 (KG from age four, being introduced) | PYP (from age four, being introduced) to MYP 4 |
| Compulsory at school (KHDA), Arab nationals | Year 2 to Year 13 (early years from age four, being introduced) | Grade 1 to Grade 12 (KG from age four, being introduced) | PYP (from age four, being introduced) to the end of the Diploma |
| We tutor school Arabic, both tracks | Year 2 to Year 13 | Grade 1 to Grade 12 | PYP (from age six) to DP |
Our Arabic tutors work with children from age six (Year 2 or Grade 1). IGCSE and GCSE Arabic are supported as standard; A-Level and IB Diploma Arabic B are arranged on request — in each case for students learning Arabic as an additional language. For students on the first-language track (Arabic A), our support is the Arabic the school timetables — the MoE first-language curriculum, its homework and its assessments — through to Year 13 (Grade 12; in IB schools, to the end of the Diploma).
Additional-language students who take Arabic as an exam subject are supported through Years 10 and 11 (Grades 9 and 10) to the exam: Cambridge IGCSE Arabic – Foreign Language (Cambridge's name for the additional-language syllabus) or Pearson Edexcel GCSE Arabic. Sessions work through the syllabus with past papers, mark schemes and timed practice in the papers that syllabus sets.
Additional-language students who continue Arabic into Years 12 and 13 (Grades 11 and 12) are supported to the exam, arranged on request. In British-curriculum sixth forms that is Cambridge International A Level Arabic or Pearson Edexcel A Level Arabic (also offered as an International A Level) — in each case a language-learning course with no separate first-language version; in IB schools it is the Diploma's Arabic B course, for students with some previous experience of the language (a Diploma course name, not the school track described above). In American-curriculum schools Arabic continues as a school course to Grade 12 (compulsory for Arab nationals, optional for other students after Grade 9) — there is no AP examination in Arabic — and our tutors follow the school's course. Our Arabic tutors' day-to-day work is school Arabic, and these senior syllabuses are arranged on request: tell us the course, level and exam session when you enquire, and we tell you before the trial lesson whether we can place a tutor for that syllabus.
Every Arabic placement starts with a free 30-minute trial lesson at your home, and the tutor uses it to place your child: a short reading, a few lines of writing, a conversation in Arabic, and a look at recent school work, against the track and year the school has your child on. You hear where your child is and what the first sessions will cover before you decide to continue. Most families then book one or two sessions a week after school; the tutor recommends a schedule after the trial.
Arabic is taught only by native Arabic speakers — a language qualification, not a nationality. Sessions are in Modern Standard Arabic (fusha), the form of Arabic schools teach, which differs from the spoken Arabic your child hears around Dubai. Tutors are matched on your child's track, curriculum and year, and on where you live.
For Year 2 to Year 6 (Grade 1 to Grade 5), our primary Arabic tutoring page goes into the script, phonics and homework stages in more detail — the same service and the same enquiry form, so start from either page. Our Arabic tutors also support IGCSE and GCSE candidates, and PYP (from age six) and MYP students in IB schools; A-Level Arabic and IB Diploma Arabic B are arranged on request.
