From Year 1 to Year 6 (ages five to eleven), one full-time tutor at your home for English, maths and science — or for just one of the three. Arabic at primary is a separate specialist service.
The most effective way is through a dedicated tutoring company like GetYourTutors that employs full-time educators experienced in the Primary School curriculum. Our tutors understand the assessment structure, internal assessments, and exam preparation strategies specific to Primary, and they come directly to your home in Dubai.

Primary school is where reading, number sense and the habit of learning are built. At GetYourTutors, one full-time home tutor covers English, maths and science for your child — one person who knows how your child reads, calculates and asks questions, and who sees the whole picture. If your child needs help in only one of the three, the same tutor takes just that one. We work with children from Year 1 to Year 6 (ages five to eleven) in Dubai's British, IB PYP and American-curriculum primary schools. Reception (FS2), the year before Year 1, can be discussed on request.
Families usually come to us when a gap has opened — reading that is not yet fluent, times tables that will not stick, a science topic that moved on before it made sense. Your tutor starts by finding exactly where the gap is, then plans each session around what your child's class is doing that term. Where your child is ahead, the same tutor extends the work rather than repeating it. Where a school entrance assessment is coming, your tutor prepares your child for it as part of the sessions.
Sessions are at your home, planned around your child's school week. The same tutor also helps with Social Studies homework and with project-based or STEAM tasks the school sets, as homework and project support. Arabic at primary has its own tutors, from Year 2 — see our primary Arabic page.

Real feedback from families who trust us with their children's education.
“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.”

We provide specialist tutoring for every major curriculum taught in Dubai schools:
Meet your primary school tutor at home for a free 30-minute introductory lesson. The visit usually runs 30–40 minutes so the tutor can meet you as well, and there is no obligation to continue into a package. You receive matched tutor profiles for your review first, and if the match isn't right we assign a new tutor at no extra cost.

From Year 1, the first year of primary school. At Dubai schools that start in August or September, a child starting school in Year 1 must be five by 31 December of that year. If your child is in Reception (FS2), ask us — we discuss younger children case by case. We assess each child before the first session, so the work starts where your child is, not where the year group is.
Yes. One full-time tutor works with your child across all three, so the reading, number and science work are planned together by one person who knows your child. A family can also book one subject only — maths on its own, for example — with the same tutor.
Reading difficulties usually trace back to phonics gaps, comprehension or confidence. Your tutor finds which it is, works on it with structured reading practice and materials your child enjoys, and builds confidence with reading your child can manage before stretching it.
Understanding first, then fluency. We use manipulatives, visual representations and real-world problems so children understand why the maths works; speed with calculations follows once the ideas are secure.
While we are not diagnosticians, experienced tutors often notice patterns that may suggest a learning difference such as dyslexia or dyscalculia. If we do, we tell you what we have seen and may suggest a specialist assessment. That decision is yours and the school's; our role is to support the learning either way.
Young children learn best through play, discovery and active engagement rather than passive listening. We use games, hands-on activities, movement, storytelling and humour, and we keep sessions moving.
Primary is when the foundations are laid, and gaps left now tend to widen because later work builds on them. Working on a reading or maths gap in primary school, while it is still small, is the easiest time to do it. For a child who is ahead, the same early start becomes extension work rather than repetition.
Yes, as a separate specialist service with its own native-speaking tutors, for children from Year 2 on both the Arabic A and Arabic B tracks. The primary Arabic page linked above explains the two tracks and what the sessions cover.
Your tutor tells you what was worked on and what comes next, highlights what is going well and where the focus stays, and suggests what you can do at home between sessions. Partnership between tutor, parent and child is how the work sticks.
All sessions are at your home, at times that fit the school week. Tell us your child's year group, school, curriculum and community; we match a tutor on curriculum, proximity to your home and your child's needs, and send you their profile and CV before the first lesson, which is a free introductory session. Regular sessions then follow the plan your tutor sets with you.
Yes. Most Dubai primary schools set an entrance assessment from Year 1, and your tutor prepares your child for the format and the skills they test — reading, number and reasoning — in the run-up to the date.

Dubai's primary schools follow different curricula, each with its own objectives, assessment and progression. Your tutor is matched to your child's curriculum — British, IB PYP or American — so every session reinforces what the class is doing.
The English National Curriculum runs from Year 1 to Year 6 at primary level; Reception, the year before it, is discussed on request. Key focus areas include:
The IB PYP is an inquiry-based framework used by many international schools in Dubai. It focuses on transdisciplinary learning across six themes:
American-curriculum primary schools in Dubai follow Common Core State Standards or similar frameworks, with key differences from British schools:
Arabic at primary is a separate specialist service with its own native-speaking tutors, from Year 2 (age six). It is arranged separately from the English, maths and science package:
One tutor covers English, maths and science; Arabic has its own tutors:
Phonics, reading fluency, creative writing and comprehension for Years 1–6.
Number sense, times tables, problem solving & mental arithmetic for Years 1–6.
Hands-on inquiry into living things, materials, forces & earth and space.
Arabic A and Arabic B from Year 2, with native-speaking tutors — arranged separately.
