Hire a Shadow Teacher in Dubai

Families in Dubai usually say "shadow teacher" for the person who stays with their child through the school day. Schools often use the title Learning Support Assistant (LSA). The class teacher still leads the lesson. The shadow teacher helps the child follow the lesson, manage routines, and take part with classmates.

Dubai private schools work under KHDA's Inclusive Education Policy Framework. A school cannot refuse a place without a lawful reason. When a child needs one-to-one support, many schools ask the family to arrange a shadow teacher. Put the arrangement in writing: hours, who supervises, and how you will hear about progress.

Before anyone starts, ask for identity, a current good-conduct certificate, the right to work in the UAE, and experience with your child's needs. Himam Heros checks those documents before a specialist is shown as Himam Verified. Families get three months free on the directory, then pay AED 19 once for ongoing access — there is no monthly family fee.

Search by need and emirate, then request an introduction through the platform. Contact details stay with Himam until you and the school are ready.
