The short answer
How online tuition works from Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the rest of the UAE.
Arche Academy International teaches IB Diploma and IGCSE Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics, and IB Economics, one to one on Zoom. The UAE is four hours behind Singapore, which puts our evening teaching time straight after the UAE school day. Your child has the same tutor every week, Glen, who assessed them in the free diagnostic.

Why a Singapore tutor
Singapore’s maths and science teaching, after the UAE school day.
Arche Academy started in 2022 teaching Singapore’s own syllabus, where method and precision decide the grade. The same approach carries over to the IB and IGCSE: find the first principle that is missing, rebuild from it, then teach the exact answer structure the mark scheme rewards.
The IB is the fastest-growing curriculum in Dubai: KHDA figures show IB-only schools rising from 11 to 17 between 2017/18 and 2022/23, while British-curriculum schools, which run IGCSE, remain the largest group. We teach both, to your child’s exact board and level.
Families in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain are an hour further behind, so school-night lessons start between 3pm and 8pm local time.
