The short answer
The timetable is the easiest of any market we serve. After school, before Maghrib and after dinner are all ordinary teaching hours, so a Gulf family chooses from the whole day rather than from what is left.
Why the hour matters so much
For a family in London or Toronto, a lesson often lands at an awkward hour for somebody, and awkward hours are where tired teaching and cancelled lessons come from.
From the Gulf, a five o'clock lesson in Dubai sits in ordinary teaching hours. Both sides are awake and neither is doing the other a favour, which is the arrangement that lasts.
The two languages in a Gulf household
Many families who write to us from the Emirates speak Urdu at home while the children are in English-medium schools, which is exactly the gap these lessons are explained around.
- The lesson runs in English, in Urdu, or in both, and you can change it after the trial classes.
- The teacher speaks Urdu as a first language, so a parent sitting in follows the whole lesson.
- The reading itself is Arabic, with Tajweed corrected from the first Qaida lesson, whichever language is being spoken around it.
Fees and the school week
The school week in the Emirates runs Monday to Friday with the weekend free, so weekend mornings are open as well as weekday evenings. Fees are published in dirhams so you are not converting from dollars to compare us with anyone.
