Start with
a conversation.

Completely fine — it is one of the most common things people say. Select "Not sure — need a recommendation" in the form, describe your child's situation, and the response will include a specific recommendation. There is no obligation attached to asking.

In most cases, a first session can be arranged within the same week as the initial enquiry. If your situation is time-sensitive — an upcoming assessment, for instance — please mention this in your message and scheduling will be prioritised accordingly.

Sessions are delivered fully online, so location within the UAE is not a barrier. Students outside the UAE are considered on a case-by-case basis — time zone compatibility and curriculum alignment are the main factors. Get in touch and this can be explored in the initial conversation.

Sessions use a digital whiteboard environment — interactive, real-time, and designed for one-to-one academic work rather than general video calling. Students need a stable internet connection and a device with a screen large enough to work comfortably. Full technical details are shared before the first session.

For younger students in KS1, a parent presence during the session is welcome and sometimes helpful. For older students, sessions are generally more effective when the student works independently — this builds the confidence and self-direction that is one of the core goals of the programme. Post-session progress notes and regular parent updates are provided as the structured alternative to observation.
