Frequently asked questions

Who regulates schools in Sharjah, and how is a parent-hired shadow teacher approved?

Private schools in Sharjah are regulated by the Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA). A parent-hired shadow teacher is approved by the school: expect to provide the teacher's Emirates ID or passport copy, police clearance and qualifications, and in some schools to arrange a meeting with the inclusion coordinator before the teacher is added to the approved-staff list. Processes vary between schools, so confirm the steps before you commit.

Do schools in Sharjah charge for a learning support assistant?

A number of Sharjah schools offer their own learning support assistant at an additional fee; others rely on families to arrange support. A shadow teacher hired through ShadowTeacher UAE is paid directly by you. Ask the school which arrangement it prefers and whether it will accept an external shadow teacher in your child's class.

How much does a shadow teacher cost in Sharjah?

Rates are agreed between you and the teacher; there is no platform fee. Sharjah rates are often a little below Dubai's, and many Sharjah-based teachers also take placements in Dubai.
