FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about English at Improve ME

What does Improve ME offer for IB English?

We offer structured IB English tutoring in small groups (maximum 6 students) at our licensed centre in Gold & Diamond Park, established since 2010. Our programme is aligned to the curriculum and exam boards used in Dubai schools, with dedicated tutors, regular progress tracking, and materials designed to build confidence and achievement.

How are sessions structured?

Sessions are scheduled in blocks that match the IB academic year. We cover the full specification or curriculum in a logical order, with built-in review and past-paper practice where applicable. You receive regular progress updates so you can see how your child is improving.

Who teaches the sessions?

Our tutors are subject specialists with experience teaching in Dubai and internationally. They use our in-house lesson plans and materials, so every student benefits from the same high standard of teaching regardless of which tutor they work with.

When is the best time to start?

Starting at the beginning of the IB course gives the strongest foundation, but we also take on students who join later and need to catch up or target specific topics. We recommend an assessment so we can tailor the programme to your child's current level and goals.

How do I book a Diagnostic Test?

You can book a free Diagnostic Test via our website or by contacting us directly. The Diagnostic Test helps us understand your child's current level and goals so we can recommend the right group and programme. We'll then outline the next steps and schedule.
