Homeschooling in Dubai is no longer an outlier among the educational mainstream. It is a pathway which is continuing to grow and has become well supported, on which parents have made an informed choice that it is better for their child's development, learning style and future aspirations. From families whose children are gifted and talented and require specialized instruction to those who have children with specific learning needs who require targeted instruction, families with internationally mobile lifestyles and these families who choose homeschooling in Dubai have one thing in common in that there is a need for specialized academic support that can replace the support that a conventional school offers. Amourion Training Institute and Dr Anil Khare have been providing support for homeschooling families across Dubai for over twenty years. Here are the questions we are asked most.
We have just decided to homeschool our child in Dubai. Where does Amourion begin?
Dr Anil Khare: The first step is to have a comprehensive diagnostic — an honest, subject wise evaluation of where your child currently is, relative to the curriculum framework you are following. Without this, any tutoring programme is based on assumptions and not evidence. Based on that diagnostic, we prepare a structured plan covering all subjects, which is related to your child's specific registration dates for the exams or their academic milestones. If you are unfamiliar with homeschooling, we can also help you choose your board, whether Cambridge IGCSE, Edexcel, AQA or the OCR programme, and help in registering for the British Council private candidate exams ensuring the entire pathway is clear before a single session begins. The ideal homeschooling tutor in Dubai is not just a person who is knowledgeable about his or her subject. It is someone who builds the entire framework a school would otherwise provide.
How does Amourion support homeschooled children across multiple subjects simultaneously?
Dr Anil Khare: Every subject has its own specialist tutor who specialises in that subject rather than a generalist covering several subjects from broad familiarity. One of the main distinguishing features of Amourion from other tutoring services is this subject-specialist model, wherein students of Amourion consistently excel compared to students enrolled in schools. Weekly scheduling is centrally coordinated across all subjects, which means that none of the subjects falls behind, and no deadline is missed without advance preparation. Progress reports are given at the end of each session, and they will keep parents well informed since communication between tutors and parents is a key part of the homeschooling experience for many families, and it is not an option. It is the foundation of the whole programme.
My homeschooled child has significant gaps from an unstructured period of learning. Is it too late to recover?
Dr Anil Khare: Almost never and the answer is based on an honest diagnosis rather than a pessimistic assumption. Children educated at home often know more than they think when they have not experienced formal schooling. It is usually disorganized and unexamination-proofed rather than absent. After we figure out the real gap between what students know and syllabus requirements, we provide families with a clear time frame, the number of months, how many sessions per week and when it is achievable for the examination session. That honesty even if it takes a bit longer than they'd like is worth more than any kind of vague reassurance.
Can Amourion support homeschooled children who are preparing for university applications alongside their examinations?
Dr Anil Khare: Yes, definitely and combining academic preparation with university application strategy is one of the best things about Amourion. From specialist tuition to essay coaching for university applications, Dr Anil Khare is the one person you can trust for all of your homeschooled students' needs. Development of personal statements, course selection, university shortlisting and predicted grade calibration are all handled directly with reference to each student's examination schedule, so that the academic profile created for each student and the application submitted to the universities is a coherent, compelling story that admissions offices will understand.
