Questions About Ustaad

Everything you need to know about our approach and team.

Ustaad is run by an experienced team of UAE-based educators who specialise in IGCSE, A-Level, IB and AP tutoring. Our tutors and academic leads have worked with international-curriculum students across the UAE for many years.

Ustaad is a private tutoring service, not a directory or marketplace. We personally match every family to a curriculum-specialist tutor, oversee lesson quality, and stay accountable for the student's progress.

Our students join from every Emirate: Dubai (Marina, Downtown, JVC, Arabian Ranches), Abu Dhabi (Yas Island, Reem Island, Khalifa City, Al Bateen), Sharjah, Al Ain, Ajman, RAK, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain.

Our tutors and academic leads have been supporting UAE families for over a decade, with thousands of hours of one-to-one lessons behind them across the major international curriculums.

British (IGCSE, GCSE, A-Level), American (Middle School, High School, AP, SAT), and International Baccalaureate (MYP, DP SL, DP HL). Every tutor is matched by curriculum first, then subject.

We start from the student's actual gap, not a generic syllabus. Sessions are one-to-one, online, and led by tutors who focus on genuine understanding, so students can apply concepts when exam questions change the wording.
