Ostaz, an online private tutoring platform in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, has partnered with Aldar Education, an education group in Abu Dhabi, to bring tutoring services and after-school support to almost 35,000 students in the UAE capital.
The partnership between Ostaz and Aldar Education was initiated by Hub71, Abu Dhabi’s global tech ecosystem, as part of its efforts to support startup founders with business development opportunities through its network of leading corporate and government partners in Abu Dhabi.
Ostaz offers premium tutoring services across a comprehensive range of academic subjects, languages, and preparatory tests, delivered by highly qualified tutors who have been pre-screened, background-checked, and trained to provide consistent results that cater to students’ diverse learning needs and styles.
As part of the partnership agreement, students from Aldar Education’s 28 operated and managed schools will be able to access tailored, private tutoring services dedicated to addressing specific academic needs and learning objectives.
With the option of both in-person and virtual tutoring sessions, students can access tutoring sessions in any of Aldar Education’s physical locations across the UAE. Additionally, Ostaz will host customised preparatory tests, upskilling and language classes and provide college application support to students.
