Best value

Prices in UAE dirhams. Every class is 55 minutes, one-to-one, with the same teacher. First class free, no card required.

What the price
actually buys

None of this is a UAE-only arrangement. It is simply what a ClassArc class is, on every plan and in every market.

Lesson format
Live, one-to-one
One teacher and one student, in real time. Not a small group with a shared screen, and not a recording.
Lesson length
A full 55 minutes
The whole class, every week. Nothing is sold as an hour and delivered as forty minutes.
Your teacher
The same one each week
Allocated once and kept. Where the pairing is not working we change the teacher rather than the format.
Specification
The one your school entered
GCSE or International GCSE, domestic or international A Level, and the right board — including the regional paper variant UAE centres sit for Pearson.
Scheduling
Your emirate's week
Sunday to Thursday evenings in Dubai and Abu Dhabi; Sunday to Wednesday in Sharjah, where schools run a four-day week.
For you
A termly parent meeting
A real conversation once a term rather than an automated monthly score. Reminders reach you on WhatsApp a day and an hour before each class, in local time.

Figures above are per class, in dirhams. The same plans in the billing currency are on the pounds page.

What tutoring normally
costs in the UAE

There is no official rate data for tutoring in the UAE — no ministry or regulator publishes any. What exists is commercial. EdFlik's UAE pricing guide puts in-home private tutoring at IGCSE level at AED 120 to 200 an hour, and IGCSE tutors generally at AED 80 to 150, with IB higher and CBSE lower.

ClassArc starts at AED 45 a class on the Committed plan and AED 55 on Starter for ages 5 to 13. Ages 14 to 18, covering GCSE, IGCSE and A Level, run from AED 60.

One thing worth saying plainly: EdFlik sells online tutoring in the UAE, so that is a competitor's published guide rather than a survey or a statistic. It is the most detailed public breakdown we found. Other low-cost online providers advertise starting prices close to ours, so the honest comparison is against the in-home range rather than against whatever floor price ranks first.

Where the only numbers available come from people selling the same thing, the least we can do is say whose they are.

Why the source is named

Why it costs what it costs,
said plainly

A full 55-minute one-to-one class costs AED 45 because ClassArc's teachers live and work in India, where a good teacher's salary costs a great deal less than it does in Dubai. There is nothing else to it.

It does not mean a shorter lesson, a shared one, or a less experienced person. It does not mean our teachers are underpaid — a salary that is modest in dirhams is a strong one where they live.

What you get is what every ClassArc family gets: the full class, one teacher who stays, homework set and marked, and teaching built on the specification your child's school actually uses.

Cheap is easy if you quietly take something out of the lesson. We would rather show you where the money goes.

Maths we support for UAE families, ages 5 to 18

A good fit if you
are looking for

A slot that suits your emirate

Sunday to Thursday in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Sunday to Wednesday in Sharjah. We do not pretend the Emirates share a week.

Certainty about the exam

Which specification, which board, which paper variant. In the UAE these are four separate questions and we ask all of them.

A teacher who stays put

Schools change, families relocate, tutors come and go. The one thing we can hold steady is who teaches your child.

A price you can budget against

Per class, in dirhams, with nothing added for registration or materials. Billing is in pounds — see the currency question below.

How the free first class works

Per-class prices, set as round local numbers and reviewed on a schedule rather than tracked daily.

How much is a maths tutor in the UAE?
Published guides put IGCSE-level tutoring at roughly AED 100 to 200 an hour, with IB higher — commercial guides rather than official figures, since the UAE publishes none. Marketplaces advertise from around AED 60. ClassArc starts at AED 45 per 55-minute class on our largest plan for ages 5 to 13, and AED 60 for ages 14 to 18.
What currency will I actually be charged in?
Prices here are in dirhams so you can budget in the currency you think in. Billing is in pounds, and your bank applies its own rate, so the exact dirham figure leaving your account may differ slightly from the one shown.
Will the price change?
We review prices on a schedule rather than adjusting them with the exchange rate. If a review changes what you pay, you hear about it before it takes effect.
Is there a joining fee or a materials fee?
No. What you see per class is the whole of it — no registration charge, and homework is set and marked as part of the lesson rather than sold separately. Unused classes are refunded if you stop.
Why do ages 14 to 18 cost more?
Because that teaching needs someone who knows a specific specification, its past papers and its mark schemes — and in the UAE that can mean domestic GCSE, International GCSE or a Cambridge syllabus. It is a smaller pool of teachers, and past-paper work and exam technique are included rather than charged on top.
Do you charge more for lessons in Sharjah?
No. Sharjah schools run a four-day week, so we book those families Sunday to Wednesday instead of Sunday to Thursday, but the price is identical and there is no premium on any slot.
Can we pay a term at a time?
Yes. Plans are blocks of classes rather than a rolling subscription — you buy a number and use them at your own pace. Larger blocks bring the per-class price down.
Are your teachers in the UAE?
No. Our teachers are in India and lessons are online; we do not run a tutoring centre or employ anyone in the Emirates. The UAE's Ministry of Education and MoHRE operate a work permit for private tutors, which is for UAE residents and covers online as well as in-person teaching, and KHDA, ADEK and SPEA license education institutions in their emirates. We are not in a position to tell you how any of that treats cross-border online lessons, and would rather not guess on your behalf — if it matters to you, the Ministry is the right place to ask.
What if the first class does not go well?
You have spent 55 minutes and nothing else; no card is taken to book it. If the teaching was fine but the pairing was not, tell us and we will try a different teacher rather than assume you have gone.
