Did anyone use an academic tutor when the first arrived in Qatar and couldn't get their kids into a school?

We are due to arrive in Doha in the next couple of months and as we were fully informed we are struggling to get our 5 year old into a school for September 2013 intake. We are told that the waiting lists can last for up to a year.
We are wondering what our options are here? Has anyone used a tutor when they were in the same predicament? Are schools willing to give you there curriculum, for home schooling purposes, when you are on their waiting list?

I know many many families are using this online school:

http://www.k12.com/ and are very happy with them.

You also might check with Cedars tutoring Center as they

have filled in the gap with many children in the same situation.
