Online tutoring in Fahaheel

Fahaheel is a coastal town in Ahmadi Governorate in southern Kuwait, just east of Ahmadi, the governorate's capital, and home to many oil company families. Its private schools are licensed by the Ministry of Education's Private Education Department, the same regulator as the rest of the country, and international schools teach Arabic and Islamic studies alongside their main curriculum. Figures are rarely published for the governorate alone, so national numbers give the wider picture: Kuwait had 585 private schools in 2021/22.

The English School Fahaheel, founded in 1968 by expatriate families and now on a purpose-built campus in Mangaf, follows the English National Curriculum through to Cambridge IGCSE and A-Levels. The International School of Kuwait in Mahboula runs an American curriculum with AP courses, and other schools include the International British School in Fahaheel and large Indian schools such as Fahaheel Al-Watanieh Indian Private School.

Many families in the south live in Mangaf, Fintas, Abu Halifa and Fahaheel itself. A school-run commute into Hawalli can take around 45 minutes at rush hour on the Fahaheel Expressway, so tutoring at home saves real time.
