Build Arabic reading, writing, and speaking confidence with native-speaking tutors. Expert support for Years 1–6.
Arabic is a compulsory subject in every Dubai school, yet it is also one of the subjects families most frequently seek help with. For native Arabic speakers (Arabic A track), the demands of formal grammar, reading comprehension, and essay writing in fusha (Modern Standard Arabic) can be challenging even for children who speak Arabic at home. For non-native speakers (Arabic B track), learning a new script, vocabulary, and sentence structure alongside their other studies requires dedicated support. At GetYourTutors, our native Arabic-speaking tutors work with primary students on both tracks, adapting to your child's school curriculum and building the specific skills they need to succeed.
One of the most common challenges parents face in Dubai is being unable to help with Arabic homework because they don't speak the language themselves. Our tutors solve this problem entirely — providing not just homework support but genuine skill development that makes your child increasingly independent in Arabic. We use engaging, age-appropriate materials, build vocabulary through topics children actually care about, and develop reading and writing skills progressively. Whether your child needs to build basic conversational confidence or master formal Arabic grammar, our tutors provide patient, structured instruction that delivers results.

Common questions about primary school Arabic tutoring in Dubai.
Yes. Arabic A (for native speakers) focuses on advanced reading comprehension, essay writing, grammar, and Arabic literature. Arabic B (for non-native speakers) focuses on building conversational skills, basic reading and writing, and everyday vocabulary. Our tutors are experienced in both tracks and tailor sessions to your child's specific level and school requirements.
This is extremely common in Dubai, especially for children from English-speaking homes. Our tutors use engaging, age-appropriate methods to make Arabic accessible — starting with spoken confidence, building reading skills through phonics and familiar topics, and introducing writing gradually. We make Arabic feel achievable rather than overwhelming.
Yes. The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) requires all private schools in Dubai to teach Arabic as part of their curriculum. Arab students typically follow Arabic A (native track), while non-Arab students follow Arabic B (second language track). Our tutors help students meet these requirements confidently.
Absolutely. Many parents find it difficult to help with Arabic homework if they don't speak the language themselves. Our tutors provide direct homework support, help children prepare for Arabic assessments and exams, and build the independent skills your child needs to manage Arabic work on their own over time.
Yes, our Arabic tutors are native Arabic speakers with formal teaching qualifications and experience working with primary-age children in Dubai schools. They understand the specific challenges that both Arabic-speaking and non-Arabic-speaking children face at each year level.
Arabic script can be challenging because letters change form depending on their position in a word. Our tutors teach letter recognition systematically — starting with isolated forms, then connected forms, using colour-coded charts, tracing exercises, and repetitive reading practice with simple texts. We build recognition gradually so your child gains confidence with the script before tackling complex vocabulary.
Yes — this is very common. Spoken Arabic (dialect) and written Arabic (Modern Standard Arabic/Fusha) are quite different. Our tutors bridge this gap by building your child's formal Arabic vocabulary, grammar structures, and writing conventions. We help students understand that the language they speak at home is a strength, and formal Arabic is a complementary skill they can master with practice.
For Arabic B (non-native) students, two sessions per week provides consistent progress in reading, writing, and vocabulary. For Arabic A (native) students who need support with grammar or essay writing, one to two sessions is usually sufficient. Our tutors assess your child's specific needs and recommend a schedule that delivers steady improvement without overwhelming them.
Yes. KHDA requires all schools in Dubai to assess Arabic proficiency, and these assessments can be stressful for students who find Arabic challenging. Our tutors prepare students with practice in the specific formats used — reading comprehension passages, grammar exercises, dictation, and writing prompts — so your child walks into the assessment feeling confident and prepared.
