Shadow Teachers in Dubai

Dubai families have access to the UAE's deepest pool of qualified shadow teachers and learning support assistants. Whether your child is at a KHDA-regulated school in Jumeirah, Downtown, JVC, Dubai Marina, Arabian Ranches, or anywhere across the emirate, you can find a verified shadow teacher who matches your child's specific learning needs and your family's language preferences.

What to know about hiring a shadow teacher in Dubai

  • Most Dubai mainstream schools operate under KHDA inclusive-education policy — a shadow teacher should be willing to coordinate directly with your child's class teacher and the school's Inclusion Champion.
  • Confirm whether your school requires the shadow teacher to be on the school's approved-staff list before the first day; this can take 1–2 weeks to process.
  • Salary expectations in Dubai typically run higher than the rest of the UAE — factor this in alongside experience and specialty when comparing candidates.
