English classes for toddlers in Dubai — at your home
These are not classes you drive to. Kateryna travels to your apartment or villa and runs a 50–60-minute sensory English session in the room your child already plays in — no commute, no drop-off, no settling-in period with a stranger in an unfamiliar building. She currently covers Dubai Marina, Jumeirah, Business Bay and Sobha Hartland.
The programme was built by Kateryna Ivanova, a teacher holding the Trinity College London CertTESOL with NILE UK training, a background in speech therapy and primary education, and over nine years working with young children. It is designed for ages 2 to 5, with the core format built around 2.5–3.5 year olds. Your own English does not need to be fluent — the session is led entirely by Kateryna.
A trial session is 100 AED. A full session is 300 AED for one child, or 500 AED for two children in the same home, across an 8-session programme. Choose your area below for local detail, or message on WhatsApp to check availability.

Classes that come to you
The Dubai format is different from the online course: these are sensory English sessions in your own home. Kateryna arrives with every material — sensory props, cards, the toys that build each story world. You prepare nothing; a calm corner of a room is enough. Neither you nor your child has to travel, so there is no Sheikh Zayed Road traffic and no settling-in period in an unfamiliar space.
Each session runs 50–60 minutes and is built as a single story world — the Yellow Duckling's Pond, the Brown Bear's Forest, the Red Bird's Sky. The child moves into English through movement (TPR), touch and play, with no translation and no desk. The programme runs over 8 sessions for children aged 2–5, with the core format designed around 2.5–3.5 year olds; for children aged 4–6 in Sobha Hartland there is a separate Reception-readiness track for British and IB schools.
Every area has its own page with local detail: Dubai Marina for families living at tower-and-promenade pace, Jumeirah for villas and quiet family streets, Business Bay for parents whose schedule does not forgive a commute, and Sobha Hartland with its dedicated school-readiness programme. Not on the list? Message on WhatsApp and we will check whether your address fits the route.
Which areas of Dubai does Kateryna travel to?
Dubai Marina, Jumeirah, Business Bay and Sobha Hartland (MBR City). If you live close to one of these, message on WhatsApp — there is usually a way to make it work.
What do we need to prepare at home?
Nothing. Kateryna brings all the sensory materials and props herself. A calm corner of a room without a television running is enough — the story world does the rest.
What ages are the in-home sessions for?
Ages 2 to 5, with the core sensory format built around 2.5–3.5 year olds, either privately or as a pair of two children. For children aged 4–6 in Sobha Hartland there is a separate programme preparing for the Reception assessment.
Are sessions available in Russian or Ukrainian?
The sessions themselves are 100% in English, with no translation — that is part of the method. With parents Kateryna speaks English, Russian or Ukrainian, whichever suits you.
