The reason parents send us the sibling too
Topical preparation. Taught, then examined, in the same session.
Most tuition teaches theory for months and saves past papers for the last few weeks. We flip it. Every topic ends with the real questions that topic has produced in real papers, marked against the real mark scheme, while the teaching is still warm.
1
Diagnose the paper
We start from the exact board, syllabus code and paper the student will sit, then map what is actually missing.
2
Teach the topic
The topic is taught from first principles until the student can explain it back without notes.
3
Attempt real questions
Past paper questions on that same topic, under timing, in the same session. No waiting until study leave.
4
Mark and correct
Marked to the mark scheme so the student learns where the marks live, not just whether the answer was right.
Class formats
Two formats. Neither of them is a crowded classroom.
A batch of three is the largest group we will ever run. Beyond that, someone always goes quiet, and the quiet student is usually the one who needed the help.
One to one
Entirely built around one student
- Pace, order and depth set by the student
- Best for grade repair and exam year rescue
- Flexible rescheduling around school and exams
- Full attention on every single question attempt
Small batch
Same board, same subject, similar level
- Never more than three students in the room
- Students learn from each other's mistakes
- More affordable without losing attention
- Grouped by board and syllabus code, not just subject
Class times that fit a Gulf school week
MorningFor homeschooled, private candidates and students on split timetables
AfternoonStraight after school, the most popular slot in Dubai and Doha
WeekdaysSunday to Thursday in the Gulf, Monday to Friday elsewhere
WeekendsLonger sessions for full topic blocks and mock paper practice
Where our students are
IGCSE, A Level and IB tuition across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Doha.
Families across the Gulf have the same problem: the tutor who actually knows the paper is on the other side of the city, and the traffic makes twice a week impossible. Every Academy X class is online, live, and taught by a specialist in that exact syllabus.
Our teachers work with students from more than 200 schools, including Repton, Dubai College, Brighton College, GEMS, Doha College and Qatar Academy.

If I could even explain to you how much Miss Mehreen has helped me within such a short time before my IAS English language exams. My god, she explains in such a manner that makes it incredibly easy to learn. I have struggled with structuring my essays in exam papers, and she helped me adapt my techniques and take a different approach to hitting my assessment objectives and attaining my marks.

Mr Abdullah is the best teacher for economics in the academy. If you ever want economics and business ask for him. But to be honest all the teachers are super amazing experts in the subject and they will get you an A grade.

Questions
What parents ask before the first class
Yes. Every new student gets one free 40 minute trial class with no card details and no obligation. It is a real lesson on a topic from your own syllabus, followed by honest feedback on where the student stands.
A standard session is one hour, and most students take two sessions per week per subject. We adjust that up or down depending on how far the student is from their target grade and how close the exam session is.
Our main boards are Cambridge International, Pearson Edexcel, Oxford AQA and the IB. We also teach BTEC, AP, LRN, the UAE and Qatar national curricula, university preparation and other British curriculum routes on request.
Because past paper practice only works if the teacher sees every attempt. With three students a teacher can read all three answers, catch the specific mark that was dropped, and correct it in the same session. Beyond three that stops being possible.
We teach a topic and then immediately examine it with real past paper questions from that same topic, marked against the official mark scheme, within the same session. The student learns the content and the exam technique for that content at the same time, rather than meeting past papers for the first time weeks before the exam.
Yes. Our main markets are the UAE and Qatar, and we also teach students in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom and Canada. All classes are online, so the only thing we need to agree on is a time zone that works.
Morning, afternoon and evening slots on weekdays, plus weekend sessions. Weekend slots are usually longer, which suits full topic blocks and timed mock papers.
Book the free trial class or message us on WhatsApp at +971 50 318 6765 with the student's board, subjects and year group. We will match a specialist teacher and confirm a trial slot, usually within the same day.
Your child's next paper is already written.
The topics are known, the mark schemes are published, and the questions repeat. The only variable is how many of them your child has actually attempted before exam day.
