Guides for families in the UAE
Short guides to help you choose courses, formats and exam dates before booking.
- How online IGCSE and A Level tuition works from the UAE
What families in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah should know before booking online tuition from Lahore: boards, class times, fees, the free trial and what is not taught.
- A Level tuition in Dubai: Cambridge or Pearson Edexcel International A Level?
Schools in Dubai and Abu Dhabi teach either Cambridge International AS & A Level or Pearson Edexcel International A Level. How the two are structured, why it matters for tuition, and how online classes from Lahore work.
- Group classes or one-to-one tuition: which suits your child?
Small group classes and one-to-one lessons suit different students and cost different amounts. How the two formats work at Marlbridge, and how to choose.
Class times: UAE time and Lahore time
Every class is taught live from Lahore (UTC+5). The UAE is on UTC+4 (Gulf Standard Time, no daylight saving), 1 hour behind Lahore. The table shows where common after-school times fall in Lahore. Teachers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so one-to-one classes can be arranged at any time that suits your time zone. Group class times are agreed with the families in each group, and we confirm them in your own time zone before the trial. The actual time is agreed with you before the first class.
| UAE time | Lahore time |
|---|---|
| 4:00 pm | 5:00 pm |
| 5:00 pm | 6:00 pm |
| 6:00 pm | 7:00 pm |
| 7:00 pm | 8:00 pm |
| 8:00 pm | 9:00 pm |
Fees for the UAE
Group classes are charged per subject per month (45 to 50 minutes per class, 3 classes a week, per subject); one-to-one classes are charged per class (1 hour per class. How many classes you take is up to you). Full terms, discounts and other regions are on the pricing page.
| Format | GCSE / IGCSE / O Level | AS / A Level | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group class, per subject per month | 270 AED | 330 AED | Confirmed |
| One-to-one, per class | 48 AED | 54 AED | Indicative |
| IB, one-to-one, per 1-hour class | 79 AED | Indicative | |
"Confirmed" fees are set by Marlbridge for United Arab Emirates. Indicative: a currency conversion of the Pakistan fee, not a separately set price for that country. The exact fee is confirmed in writing before any payment. The IB fee is set in Pakistan at 6,000 PKR per 1-hour class; the figure above is its conversion (IB rates converted 2026-09-24). These fees are reviewed periodically and are not guaranteed to remain unchanged. Group fees last confirmed 2026-08-20; one-to-one figures last confirmed or converted 2026-08-23.

What we do not teach
Marlbridge does not teach the UAE Ministry of Education curriculum, the Indian CBSE or ICSE curricula, the American curriculum or Advanced Placement (AP), or the French Baccalauréat. It teaches the British-style international qualifications listed on this page, and the IB one-to-one.
Marlbridge is the international branch of Learners Academy. Its only in-person teaching location is Commercial 17/18, Block B, Al-Kabir Town, Lahore, Pakistan.
Questions from families in the UAE
Does Marlbridge have a centre in the UAE?
No. Marlbridge has no office, branch or teacher based in the UAE. Every class is taught live online by a named subject teacher from our academy in Lahore, Pakistan.
What time would classes be in the UAE?
The UAE is one hour behind Lahore all year, so a 5:00 pm class in Dubai or Abu Dhabi is 6:00 pm in Lahore. Group class times are agreed with the families in each group and confirmed before the trial; one-to-one classes can be arranged at any time, because teachers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Can my child be taught for Pearson Edexcel International GCSE or International A Level?
Yes. Pearson Edexcel International GCSE and International A Level subjects are taught, alongside Cambridge IGCSE and A Level, OxfordAQA and AQA. Each subject page names the exact specification code it is taught against.
Is IB tuition available in the UAE?
IB Diploma and MYP tuition is one-to-one only, in 1-hour classes. The IB fee is set in Pakistan rupees; the UAE figure on this page is an indicative conversion, and the exact fee is confirmed in writing before any payment.
What if my child studies a curriculum you do not list for United Arab Emirates?
Marlbridge does not teach the UAE Ministry of Education curriculum, the Indian CBSE or ICSE curricula, the American curriculum or Advanced Placement (AP), or the French Baccalauréat. It teaches the British-style international qualifications listed on this page, and the IB one-to-one. If you are unsure whether your school's exams are covered, send an enquiry and we will tell you plainly.
