We love Zoom SAT prep classes in Dubai! One of the best results of the last couple of years is that students (not just tutors) now love taking Zoom SAT prep classes. Here are the top 5 benefits of our Zoom SAT prep classes according to our students:
1. More Flexibility than In-Person Classes
If you have a schedule conflict, it’s easy to tell your tutor on short notice. It’s also easier to reschedule the lesson. Even better? You can hang out at a friend’s house, open up your laptop, do your lesson, and go back to having fun.
2. Easier Notetaking than In-Person
Almost all of our students take some notes on the lesson. No amount of technology will erase your brain’s efficiency at remembering when you write things down…
BUT…
What if you could take notes AND screenshot complicated workouts or problems? Zoom SAT prep classes make that possible.
In our lessons, we use a graphic tablet and pen to actually write on the screen. Students can see EVERYTHING that we are doing as we talk through the lesson together. Here’s an example:
3. Our Zoom SAT Prep Classes are 100% Live
No pre-recorded classes here! You’re there, your tutor is there, and we are talking in real-time. In a typical tutoring session, you chat with your tutor at the beginning. We find that this dialogue is important for getting to know students and understanding issues that might affect their ability to learn the material that day. Usually, students also have questions about university, so we answer those as well. This extra information is one of the most important reasons to hire a tutor in Dubai.
Next, we introduce the subject for the day. Maybe we have a few problems that we do to recap the previous lessons.
Then…we get to it!
Whether we are reviewing algebra 2 or geometry or grammar, we don’t assume that students know the fundamentals. We briefly discuss the fundamentals and tailor the tutoring to what the student already knows and what she needs to know. Without the live lesson format, we would not be able to assess the student and redirect our approach as we go.
In all of our lessons, students do problems. Like, how do you study for the SAT if you don’t practice?
We start off with guided exercises that the tutor helps with. We then let go of the reins a bit and ask the student to lead us through the problem. The last problem the student does on her own–we call it concept checking–to see if she gets it. If not, we discuss, discuss, discuss. It is VERY difficult to take this approach with a pre-recorded course.
We also review your digital SAT practice tests with you to ensure you get the maximum benefit from your studying.
4. 100% Private
Are we recording the lessons? Nope.
Are these lessons open to the world or other students? Nope.
Can students around the world join the class like on Outschool or any MOOC you’ve heard of? Nope.
Our Zoom SAT prep classes are 100% private and secure. That’s why we love using Zoom. Students have to use the link or meeting code we send them to our PERSONAL Zoom room. There is also a password to get in.
Once in the waiting room, your tutor has to let you into the lesson. No one can join without the tutor’s permission and disturb your lesson.
5. 100% One-on-One
The previous explanation of our teaching technique explains why we keep our Zoom SAT prep classes 100% one-on-one.
That’s right! There are NO OTHER STUDENTS on the call.
Sure, we could do small groups, but we would lose the flexibility and personalization that comes from doing one-on-one classes.
Zoom SAT Prep Frequently Asked Questions

Everyone! Since the global pandemic, just about every high school student is used to learning online. Even the ones who hated it during school like our online tutoring. Here’s why:
- You get to interact with the instructor.
- You talk one-on-one.
- We move at the pace the student wants. If we don’t finish a lesson, we do it next time.
- It’s easy to add extra time to a session if we’re working on a concept.
- There’s no one else to disturb your learning.

- You get immediate feedback. No waiting for things to be graded or reviewed.
What do we cover in our lessons?
All of the same topics as in in-person SAT lessons. The lessons and problems are EXACTLY the same whether you study online or in person.
Where do the Zoom SAT prep classes happen in Dubai and the UAE?
All classes happen over the internet. The instructor is based in Dubai, not somewhere else. Most of the time, she’s sitting at home in her tiny office (just ignore the barking dog).
In fact, she has 15 years of experience teaching students in Dubai just like you.
Do you offer classes to students in other Emirates?
Yes, we do! That’s one of the great benefits of working online in the UAE. You can sit in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, or one of the other Emirates and get access to a great tutor in Dubai!
We have students from all over the UAE and we meet on Zoom. W do the payments as transfers so we don’t have to meet in person to get the whole thing done.
Can’t I just hire an SAT tutor in the US?
You certainly can, but here are the benefits of hiring a tutor with experience working with students in Dubai:
- She knows how to tailor the lesson for non-native (near-native) English speakers. Many people who don’t have experience teaching students from different cultures speak too fast or use too many country-specific phrases.
- Your tutor is familiar with different education systems. British, Indian, IB, Government…she knows all about each of these systems. A tutor who has only taught in America won’t have experience with these systems and understand the difference in teaching style or approach. In short, the tutor will not be able to effectively tailor the lessons to how YOU learn. And that’s the whole point of private tutoring, right?
- She knows how to apply to the US, Canada, UK, etc. from OUTSIDE the US. Trust us, Americans basically only know about going to university in the US from the US. They don’t know about the process for international students. Your Dubai-based tutor can answer all of these questions because she has experience helping students apply from the UAE and she was born and raised in America.
How do the Zoom SAT prep classes work?
We coordinate the lessons just like in-person SAT prep lessons. At the student’s class time, she uses the code and password provided to join our personal meeting room.
During the lesson, we talk, learn, and practice just like an in-person course. We have worked hard to keep the format the same but actually lowered the price since we don’t have to spend time and gas driving to students’ homes.
That’s right…
In addition to being more flexibility and usually easier than in-person prep, Zoom SAT prep classes in Dubai are CHEAPER!
Happy Students are Our Business
