Almost Done! Site in development

Get paid properly for what you already know.

Tutoring is the best-paid, most flexible work available to a student in Dubai, and the only one that makes you better at your own degree. Apply once and we match you to students near your campus.

Start the application What it pays

01 What it is worth

You are already explaining this to your friends for free. There are parents across Dubai paying for exactly that, and almost no supply of tutors who actually understand a current syllabus.

  1. AED 80-250 an hour

    Rates depend on subject, level and your experience. Maths, physics, chemistry and anything IB Higher Level sit at the top of that range. It is several times what campus and retail work pays.

  2. Around your timetable

    You set your availability week by week and block out exam periods entirely. Nobody is asking you to commit to shifts a month ahead.

  3. Students near your campus

    We match on area as well as subject, so you are not crossing the city for an hour's work. Online sessions are an option for every subject.

  4. It makes your own degree easier

    Teaching the foundations is how you find out whether you actually understand them. Tutors consistently report their own grades improving in the subjects they teach.

  5. The best interview answer you will have

    Every graduate interview asks whether you can explain something complex to someone who is not an expert. Tutoring is three years of documented evidence that you can.

  6. No cost to you, ever

    Applying is free and stays free. We do not charge tutors a commission to join, a fee to be listed, or anything to be matched.

Rates are indicative ranges based on what tutors in Dubai are paid, not an offer or a guarantee. You set your own rate, and what you earn depends on subject, level, experience and how many hours you take.

02 How it works

Four steps, and you control every one of them.

  1. Apply

    The form below takes about eight minutes. Be specific about subjects and levels — it is what the matching runs on.

  2. Verify

    We check your student status and your claimed grades in the subjects you want to teach. Nothing is listed until that clears.

  3. Interview on Google Meet

    A fifteen-minute video call at a time you pick, mostly to hear you explain a concept. We tell you the topic beforehand. It is not an exam, but it is required — nobody is listed without it.

  4. Get matched

    Once the interview is done you go live to families searching your subjects and area. You accept or decline every match, and you set your own rate within the guide range.

03 The application

Apply to tutor.

About eight minutes. Be specific in the subjects and levels — that is what the matching runs on, and a vague answer is why an application sits unmatched.

03 What you can teach

Tutoring in Dubai, answered

Pay, visas, time and what we actually check.

Read a tutor's letter

Typically between AED 80 and AED 250 an hour, depending on the subject, the level and how much experience you have. Maths, physics, chemistry and IB Higher Level subjects sit at the upper end; primary and lower secondary sit nearer the lower one.

Those are indicative ranges rather than a guarantee. You set your own rate, and most tutors start lower and raise it once they have a few families who will recommend them.
