Why Teachers in Qatar Choose Online Training
Early reading in Qatar is taught in British-curriculum, American and Indian-curriculum (CBSE and ICSE) schools, and teachers meet children with very different levels of English. Specialist phonics teaching in Doha is thin compared with demand, and families often look for it outside school. Teachers also tell us the same thing from the other side: they are asked to teach phonics in KG and Grade 1 without a structured method to follow.
No Travel
Join from Doha, Al Rayyan, Al Wakrah or anywhere else in Qatar.
Time Zone That Works
AST (UTC+3) is 2 hours 30 minutes behind India. A 7:00pm IST session starts at 4:30pm in Doha.
Live, Not Recorded
Sounds, actions and blending are demonstrated, practised and corrected in session.
Built for Mixed-Language Classrooms
Many children in Qatar speak Arabic, Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Urdu or Tagalog at home; a sound-first method gives them a clear route into English reading.
