Online, after school
A tutor near you in Manama
A search for a tutor near me in Bahrain almost always means Manama and the neighbourhoods around it. The lesson is online, in English, on Bahrain time.
What Manama students are working on
Bahrain families usually bring a British curriculum, an IB course, or CBSE. We do not keep a public list of Manama schools, and naming a school in a message does not mean we are part of it. The book decides the lesson. GCSE, IGCSE and A Level are named carefully, because they are not interchangeable, and the board can differ by subject. The IB Diploma is a different course again, with its own Maths choices and its own sciences.
We start at Grade 6. British Year 7 is the usual equivalent. Year 6 is before the work we publish. Exam courses are taught in the years the school enters them. A Grade 7 student is not put onto an A Level paper. If the school has just moved the child from one course to another, send the new cover and say what the old one was. We will not teach both in the same hour.
Bahrain time, from Juffair to Saar
Manama is UTC+3, one hour behind Dubai and the same hour as Riyadh, Doha and Kuwait City. A 6 pm lesson in Juffair, Seef, Adliya or Saar is 6 pm across the kingdom and 7 pm in Dubai. People search those neighbourhoods because that is where the flat is. The teacher does not come to the building. The student opens the call at home.
The first call is a free diagnostic of about 20 minutes. Have the school, the grade and one chapter ready. If you want a paid lesson after that, we agree a weekly time in Bahrain hours and send the invoice before the lesson is placed. Moving a time is a WhatsApp message before the agreed hour, with another day named.
Dinar prices
The published one-to-one prices are BHD 5.1 for an expert teacher and BHD 10.1 for the Head of Academy. They match the two dirham lessons. There is no third tier. The diagnostic is free and sits outside those figures.
After the paid lesson, the note on WhatsApp tells you what was covered and what to do before next time. It is written in English, even if you read this page in Arabic. It is not a school report. The note records what the lesson covered.
Questions from families here
Those are places the student may be sitting. The lesson is a video call on Bahrain time, UTC+3. We do not travel between them.
They are the published amounts for the two one-to-one lessons, the expert teacher and the Head of Academy. The free diagnostic is not included.
The page can be read in Arabic. The lesson and the WhatsApp reply are in English. Say if a word needs a brief explanation, and the teacher will slow down.
Manama is one hour behind Dubai. A 5 pm lesson for you is 6 pm in Dubai. We confirm the hour in Bahrain time so there is no mix-up.
