Indian-curriculum tuition, wherever you have moved
110 of CBSE’s 269 overseas schools are in the UAE alone. If your child is on the Indian curriculum abroad, they are sitting the same syllabus, the same books and the same board exam as a child in India — which is exactly why a teacher here is the right person to teach it.
Does the time difference actually work?
It is the first thing most families ask and the easiest to answer badly, so here is every market at once. The Gulf is the easy case - India is only an hour or two ahead, so an early-evening class in India lands in the late afternoon there, before dinner and while a child can still concentrate.
| Where | India is ahead by | A 6pm IST class starts at | School week | Billed in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bahrain | 2.5 hours | 3:30pm | Sunday to Thursday | BHD |
| Jeddah | 2.5 hours | 3:30pm | Sunday to Thursday | SAR |
| Kuwait | 2.5 hours | 3:30pm | Sunday to Thursday | KWD |
| Qatar | 2.5 hours | 3:30pm | Sunday to Thursday | QAR |
| Riyadh | 2.5 hours | 3:30pm | Sunday to Thursday | SAR |
| Saudi Arabia | 2.5 hours | 3:30pm | Sunday to Thursday | SAR |
| Abu Dhabi | 1.5 hours | 4:30pm | Monday to Friday | AED |
| Ajman | 1.5 hours | 4:30pm | Monday to Friday | AED |
| Dubai | 1.5 hours | 4:30pm | Monday to Friday | AED |
| Muscat | 1.5 hours | 4:30pm | Sunday to Thursday | OMR |
| Oman | 1.5 hours | 4:30pm | Sunday to Thursday | OMR |
| Sharjah | 1.5 hours | 4:30pm | Monday to Friday, with a Friday-to-Sunday government weekend | AED |
| the UAE | 1.5 hours | 4:30pm | Monday to Friday | AED |
| Kuala Lumpur | -2.5 hours | 8:30pm | Monday to Friday | MYR |
| Malaysia | -2.5 hours | 8:30pm | Monday to Friday in most states | MYR |
The school week matters as much as the clock. Much of the Gulf runs Sunday to Thursday, so Friday and Saturday are the free days rather than Saturday and Sunday - which is exactly when Indian teachers have most availability, and one reason this works better than it sounds.
Every place we teach, and what makes each one different
Each page is written from that market’s own verified facts — its regulator, its school week, its academic calendar — rather than one template with the place name swapped in.
Where we don’t claim to be the right answer
Plenty of sites list every country on earth. We checked what parents actually search, and in most places the honest answer is that we are not what you need.
- The United States and Canada have little search interest for Indian-curriculum tutoring, and American English uses 'tuition' to mean fees rather than tutoring.
- The UK and Australia show the same trend; Indian families in those regions predominantly study local curricula, not CBSE.
- Singapore and Hong Kong appear potential until you examine search intent, which shows most results concern university costs rather than school-level tutoring.
- Cambridge IGCSE coursework and English literature are included. See our Malaysia page for where we stop.
What the time difference really means
Stated properly, because “flexible scheduling” is not an answer.
UAE & Oman
India runs 1h30m ahead—after-school times there become early evening here. Genuinely workable.
Qatar, Saudi, Kuwait & Bahrain
With India 2h30m ahead and schools ending classes by mid-afternoon, this represents the best possible fit.
Malaysia
With Malaysia running 2h30m ahead of India, late afternoon slots in India work as the practical option.
Teaching Indian-curriculum children abroad
Why choose an India-based tutor instead of hiring locally?
Because your child is sitting the Indian syllabus. For a CBSE or ICSE child, the textbooks, chapter order and Class 10 board exam match those in India, and India has teachers with the deepest expertise in that syllabus. Where this reasoning breaks down, we acknowledge it—our Malaysia page is explicit about the limits of our IGCSE fit.
Do the time zones actually work?
In the Gulf, scheduling works well. India runs 90 minutes ahead of UAE and Oman, and two and a half hours ahead of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain—so an after-school class there lands during normal teaching hours here. Malaysia is two and a half hours ahead of India, making late-afternoon Indian slots the workable time. We prefer stating this openly rather than suggesting convenient scheduling across all regions.
Which currency do we pay in?
Your own. Fees are published in dirhams, riyals, rials, dinars or ringgit depending on where you are, about 30% above the Indian fee - still a fraction of local tutoring. Everything is listed on the fees page instead of quoted on a call.
Do families abroad pay more than families in India?
A little - about 30% more than in India, at the current exchange rate. That covers a teacher working your evening rather than theirs, and the cost of international payments. The teacher, the plan and the classes are exactly the same, and it is still a fraction of what local tutoring costs.
What if we go back to India in the middle of the year?
The teaching remains unchanged—you keep the same teacher, the same curriculum and the same class schedule if it still works for you. This represents one of the key advantages of learning from India using the Indian curriculum: relocation is just a change of location, not a change of educational system.
Do you teach in the US, UK, Canada or Australia?
No, not these tuition pages—and that's by design. Research shows there's virtually no genuine need for Indian-curriculum tutoring at search terms we'd use. American English defines 'tuition' as fees, not instruction, so those searches are really about university costs, not tutoring. For those families, the real opportunity is heritage languages. Hindi classes for children represent our honest route into that space.
