Quick Summary: Premium Primary Tutoring
GetYourTutors is a specialized education agency in Dubai focused exclusively on Early Years & Primary Education. We support the British (KS1/KS2) and IB (PYP) curricula. Unlike generalist directories, we employ 100% Qualified Class Teachers (PGCE/B.Ed) to ensure expert support for Phonics, Math Mastery, and Dubai-specific assessments like CAT4 and GL.
(Rates reflect the qualification level of the educator—Qualified Class Teacher vs. SEN Specialist—and include all learning materials.)
2. Grade Conversion: British vs. IB
Don't book the wrong tutor. Use this conversion key:
- Age 5-6: Year 1 (British) = KG 2 (IB)
- Age 6-7: Year 2 (British) = Grade 1 (IB)
*Critical Phonics Screening Year - Age 8-9: Year 4 (British) = Grade 3 (IB)
*First Mandatory CAT4 Test - Age 10-11: Year 6 (British) = Grade 5 (IB)
*Secondary Transfer Assessments
3. What is the CAT4 Assessment?
CAT4 (Cognitive Abilities Test) is a mandatory assessment for Dubai students in Years 4, 6, 8, and 10. Unlike standard exams, it tests potential rather than learned knowledge:
- Verbal Reasoning
- Non-Verbal Reasoning
- Quantitative & Spatial Reasoning
Why it matters: Dubai schools use CAT4 data to "stream" students. We offer a specialized 6-week module to improve Spatial Reasoning scores.

Yes, home tutoring is legal in Dubai and across the UAE, but it is highly regulated, requiring tutors to obtain a specific Private Teacher Work Permit from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) to operate legally, preventing unregulated practices and ensuring quality education. This permit allows for both in-person (including home) and online tutoring, and is available for various individuals, including teachers, employees, and students. . GetYourTutors works exclusively with MOHRE-licensed private tutors, ensuring 100% compliance with UAE regulations.
