Tutoring that fits the school week in Qatar
Qatar is one of Qlive’s largest student groups, with families in Doha and its suburbs, Al Wakrah and Al Khor. Our teachers have taught 1,00,000+ hours of live classes, one-to-one. Schools usually run Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend. Some Indian schools in Doha run separate sessions for different sections, so school hours vary a lot from family to family. We begin with the times that are actually free in your week.
The usual choices are a late afternoon or evening slot after school and a rest, or a weekend morning. Qatar time is two and a half hours behind India, so a 5:30 pm class in Doha is 8 pm for a teacher in Kerala. Everything you see from Qlive, from the class confirmation to the reminders and the week’s classes in the Qlive Learn app, shows Qatar time.
The syllabi children in Qatar follow
Doha has a large number of Indian schools, most of them affiliated to CBSE, the syllabus about three in four Qlive students follow. We also teach children in:
- British curriculum schools, through GCSE, IGCSE and A-Level
- IB schools, at PYP, MYP and Diploma level
- American curriculum schools
- Kerala and other Indian state boards, for families planning a move back to India
Tell us your child’s school and grade, and we match a teacher who teaches exactly that syllabus.
Arabic and the other school languages
Private schools in Qatar usually teach Arabic, and many also teach Islamic studies and Qatar history. For children from Indian, Pakistani, Filipino or other non-Arabic speaking families, Arabic is often the subject that worries parents most, because they cannot help at home.
Our Arabic teachers start where your child is, whether that is the alphabet and joining letters, simple reading, or the grammar and writing in the school textbook. Children with bigger gaps can follow the Foundation programme, which works through Arabic level by level. The programme also covers maths, English, Hindi and Malayalam.
Hindi, Malayalam, Urdu, Tamil and French are common second languages in Indian schools in Doha, and we teach all of them. Where it helps, we match a teacher who speaks your home language, which settles younger children quickly.
Board exams and the senior years
For CBSE families in Qatar, Class 10 and Class 12 board exams are the main milestones. Teachers work through the NCERT syllabus with past papers and timed practice, and Pulse checkpoints every two to three weeks show which chapters still need attention. For CBSE Grade 9 and 10 maths and science, term exams built from chapters already covered are included at no extra cost.
British curriculum and IB students get the same approach for IGCSE, A-Level and Diploma subjects. In the senior years we teach physics, chemistry, biology, maths, accountancy, business studies, economics and computer science.
How it works for families in Qatar
- A free assessment. About 40 adaptive questions, guided live by a Qlive counsellor, ending with a report on your child’s strengths and the exact gaps.
- A matched teacher. Chosen for subject, syllabus, grade, your free times and language where it matters. A 45 minute demo class is available first if you would like one.
- A fixed weekly slot. Classes are usually 60 minutes on Google Meet, with the learning on Qlive Space, Qlive’s AI-powered, activity-based learning platform. Every class is recorded.
- A Student Success Partner. A person you can trust at Qlive whose job is your child reaching your goal, whether that is a CBSE board result or catching up in Arabic. They bring in what is needed and are a message away in the Qlive Learn app.
Before each class the Qlive Learn app asks you to confirm, change the time or skip that day, then sends reminders 15 and 5 minutes before with a button to join. Each class also has a chat in the app with the teacher and the Qlive team. Between classes, worksheets arrive in Qlive Pulse, and you get a notice in the app when work is set and when it has been marked by the teacher or Qlive’s academic team.
Fees are set per student after the assessment, based on subject, grade, curriculum and the number of classes. Families in Qatar usually pay by international bank transfer in USD, or by card.
Start with a free assessment
The easiest first step is a free assessment. In under an hour you see where your child stands, and there is no obligation to book classes after it.
