Online Tutoring in Pakistan

آپ کے وقت کے مطابق ہماری کلاسیں

کام کے دن

14:00–22:00 PKT — the same clock you are reading. Most Grade 1–5 students take the 16:00–18:00 slots; Grade 9–10 students usually take 19:00–22:00.

ہفتہ اور اتوار

10:00–20:00 PKT on Saturday and Sunday, which is where longer Matric and O Level revision sessions sit.

ہمارا وقت (پاکستان)

14:00–22:00 PKT · Asia/Karachi

Pakistan Standard Time is UTC+5 and has no daylight saving. Daylight saving was trialled in 2002 and again in 2008–09 and then abandoned, so the timetable has not moved since. Every other market we teach into converts against us; Pakistani families never have to.

ہم کون سا نصاب پڑھاتے ہیں

• National Curriculum of Pakistan (NCP) — the federal framework launched in 2021 as the Single National Curriculum and later renamed
• Provincial curricula and textbook boards — Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan each set and print their own textbooks
• Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE) syllabus — Islamabad, cantonment schools and many private schools nationwide
• Provincial Boards of Intermediate and Secondary Education — the mainstream Matric and Intermediate route
• Cambridge International O Level, IGCSE and AS & A Level — the dominant English-medium private-school stream in urban Pakistan
• Aga Khan University Examination Board (AKU-EB) — a university-led private board offering Primary, Middle, SSC and HSSC programmes

یہاں طلبہ کون سے امتحان دیتے ہیں

No conversion, and no clock changes

This is the one country page where the timetable needs no arithmetic. Our published hours are Pakistan hours: 14:00–22:00 on weekdays, 10:00–20:00 at weekends. A parent in Lahore, Karachi or Peshawar reads the same clock we teach by, and the schedule is identical in January and in July.

That matters more than it sounds. Pakistan has a single nationwide time zone and no daylight saving, so a slot booked in September is still the same slot in April. Families in every other market we serve have to re-check their offset twice a year.

• 14:00–16:00 PKT — primary students who finish school early
• 16:00–19:00 PKT — the busiest block, Grades 6 to 10
• 19:00–22:00 PKT — Matric and O Level revision, and students who travel home first
• 10:00–20:00 PKT at weekends — longer sessions and full past-paper work

02

Which board a student is actually on

Education is a devolved provincial subject, so there is no single syllabus to teach to. A Grade 9 student in Islamabad may be on FBISE, one in Lahore on BISE Lahore, one in a private school on Cambridge O Level, and one on AKU-EB — four different papers, four different date sheets.

We confirm the board and the exact board region in the first session rather than assuming from the city. Practising the wrong board's past papers is the most common wasted month we see in Pakistani students who come to us mid-year.

03

Matric and O Level are different races

The SSC route examines Grades 9 and 10 separately and aggregates the marks, so Grade 9 results are already part of the final total. The Cambridge route examines at the end, in a May/June or October/November series, with a different question style and a different mark scheme.

Students moving between the two — usually from an O Level school into a board school, or the reverse — lose ground on style rather than on content. A student who can do the mathematics can still drop marks because the paper is not asking in the way they were trained to answer.

• SSC — Grade 9 and Grade 10 examined separately, marks aggregated, board-set date sheets
• O Level and IGCSE — terminal examination, May/June and October/November series
• IBCC equivalence at secondary level requires eight subjects, including English, Urdu, Islamiyat, Pakistan Studies and Mathematics

04

What we run at each stage

Grades 1 to 5 run as 45-minute sessions, three or four a week, in groups of no more than four, covering mathematics, science, English and Quran. Grades 6 to 8 move to 60 minutes and add history and geography. Grades 9 and 10 run 60 to 90 minutes, four to six times a week, which is what a two-year aggregated Matric actually requires.

Students on the Cambridge route usually take our GCSE Mathematics programme instead: 90-minute sessions in groups of at most four, because the reasoning marks have to be read individually rather than corrected from the board.

05

How the week is structured

Every student sits a weekly assessment, and the result goes to the parent rather than into a folder. It is the only reliable way to tell whether a session that felt productive actually was one.

The first class is a free demo. It exists so that a family can check the tutor, the board knowledge and the slot before paying for anything, and so that we can say honestly if a student needs a different programme from the one they enquired about.
