ClassArc's one-to-one maths classes for Dubai families start at AED 45 for 55 minutes, and AED 60 for students aged 14 to 18. The price is lower for one reason: our teachers live and work in India. The lesson itself keeps everything — the same teacher every week, the full 55 minutes, our own classroom software and a free first class.
What is ClassArc?
ClassArc is live one-to-one online maths tutoring for school-age children. One teacher and one child, for 55 minutes. The same teacher every week. Classes run inside our own classroom software, not a video call: a shared worksheet you both write on, a shared whiteboard, and answers that sync live.
The reason
The difference is geography, not a thinner lesson. A tutor who lives in Dubai has to cover Dubai rent, school fees and transport, and their hourly rate reflects that. Our teachers live in India, an hour and a half ahead of the UAE, where the same income stretches a great deal further.
Nobody is underpaid to make the sums work. A salary that looks modest when converted into dirhams is a good one where our teachers live and raise their families.
We would rather spell this out than leave you guessing how the number is possible. The founder, Rajat Sharma, has taught K–12 maths for more than seven years and still teaches on the platform every week.
If a price looks low, a parent is right to ask what was taken out. Here the answer is the rent, not the lesson.
Where the saving comes fromWhat stays the same
Every class runs the full 55 minutes, on the Starter block exactly as on the Committed one. The clock does not get trimmed to fit the price.
One teacher and one student, live, every time. No shared screen with other children and no recorded lesson in place of a real one.
No joining fee, no materials fee and no charge for the first class. The per-class price is the whole price.
Published rates
The UAE publishes no official figures for private tutoring rates. The nearest thing is commercial: EdFlik's 2026 UAE tutoring guide, which is a company's published guide rather than official data.
| Source | Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| EdFlik 2026 UAE guide, IGCSE-level tuition | AED 100–200 | Per hour, with IB higher and CBSE lower |
| ClassArc, ages 14–18 | AED 60 to AED 70 | Per 55-minute one-to-one class |
| ClassArc, ages 5–13 | From AED 45 | Per 55-minute one-to-one class |
The guide's range is a commercial snapshot for 2026 and tutors set their own rates, so treat it as a rough benchmark rather than a market average. Our own prices are set in one place and shown in full on the UAE pricing page.
What you still get
An affordable class only helps if it is worth sitting through. These are included on every plan.
One person who learns how your child thinks. If the first pairing is not right, the next free class is with someone else.
Before each class the teacher checks the unit your child's school is on, whether British, CBSE, IB or American, and teaches alongside it.
In the browser, with no Zoom and nothing to install: a shared worksheet both write on, a whiteboard, answers that sync live, and ArcSpace for seeing fractions as 3D pieces.
Set to match the lesson, submitted inside ClassArc, reviewed before the next class, and talked through at the start of it.
WhatsApp reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before each class in Dubai time, a termly parent meeting, and a downloadable PDF of the classes attended.
Blocks, not subscriptions. Stop whenever you like and unused classes are refunded, with no notice period. Reschedule free up to 5 minutes before a class.
Judge it yourself
The free first class is the evidence. Here is how to use it well.
Watch the second half of the free class, not the first. That is when the teacher has found where your child actually is.
A suggestion for parentsCurriculum, year or grade, and a few after-school times. The form on this page or WhatsApp both reach a person.
A real 55-minute class with the teacher who would continue with your child. No card is asked for at any point.
Does the teacher start from your child's school unit? Do they watch the working, or only the answers?
We tell you what we found and what we would do, including if we think tutoring is not needed. Then you decide.

When you book a demo or sign up for classes, we collect your name, your child's name, email, WhatsApp number, time zone, and the grade you're inquiring about. That's it. We don't ask for or store any payment details on this website. We don't use trackers, cookies for advertising, or third-party analytics that profile you.
Only to schedule and run your classes, send you class reminders, share homework and progress, and answer your questions. We'll reach out by email or WhatsApp, depending on what you tell us works better for you.
Your teacher, and the small team supporting them at ClassArc. We never sell, rent, or share your information with anyone outside ClassArc. We use Web3Forms to receive form submissions, and standard email and WhatsApp for messaging, nothing else.
We treat any information about your child with extra care. We only collect what we need to teach them well, such as their grade and what they're working on. We never use a child's photo, name, or work in any marketing without the parent's explicit written permission.
You can ask us to show you what we have on file, correct anything inaccurate, or delete your data entirely, at any time. Just email hello@theclassarc.com and we'll handle it within a few days.

ClassArc is a one-on-one online tutoring service. We provide live, scheduled classes between a teacher and a student, along with homework, feedback, and study support.
Each class is 55 minutes. You can reschedule or cancel a class up to 5 minutes before it starts. If you miss a class without notice, we usually credit it back to your balance and reschedule based on what works for the teacher and student.
The first demo class is free, no card required. After that, plans are billed in advance for the number of classes you choose (8, 24, or ~48). We'll send you a payment link directly once you've picked a plan.
If you want to stop classes at any point, we refund whatever class balance is left on your plan. No questions asked, no friction. Refunds are processed within 7 business days.
We expect students and parents to treat teachers with respect, and teachers to do the same. We reserve the right to end the relationship if classes become unsafe, abusive, or disruptive, with a full refund of any unused balance.
If we update these terms, we'll email you before the changes take effect, so you have time to review them.
For anything, email hello@theclassarc.com.
