IB tutors in Dubai, matched to your exact course
IB tutoring
Thirty-odd IB schools, and no two timetables alike.
Dubai has more than thirty IB World Schools and no two run the Diploma the same way. We match on the course and level your child actually takes (Maths AA HL is not Maths AI SL), and we cover the Internal Assessments, Extended Essay and TOK alongside the exams. Online or in person across Dubai.

What makes the difference
- 01
Matched on the course, not the subject
"Maths tutor" means very little in the Diploma. Analysis and Approaches HL and Applications and Interpretation SL are different courses, with different papers and different Internal Assessments. We match by course and level, and we say so plainly when we do not have the right mentor for it.
- 02
The May session sets the calendar
Almost every Dubai school sits the May examination session, which puts mock weeks in the winter and IA deadlines through the autumn. We plan backwards from those dates, so drafting and revision never land in the same fortnight.
- 03
The core is coached, never written
TOK, the Extended Essay and the Internal Assessments carry real points on the 45-point scale, and they are the student's own work. We teach structure, method and the assessment criteria, and give feedback on your child's drafts. We do not write them.
Subjects
Six groups, HL and SL, plus the core
Maths AA & AI
Analysis and Approaches or Applications and Interpretation, at Higher and Standard, with the mathematical exploration planned early rather than in the week it is due. Dubai has a page for this on its own if maths is the only problem.
Group 4 Sciences
Physics, Chemistry and Biology on the syllabus first examined in May 2025: Papers 1 and 2 and the scientific investigation. Computer Science too, Papers 1 and 2, and the computational solution.
Group 3
Business Management, Economics and Psychology. Essay technique first, then the internal assessment: the Economics commentaries and the Psychology experiment are where the marks quietly go.
Language & the core
English A and B, Arabic A, French B and Spanish ab initio, alongside TOK, the Extended Essay and CAS planning. In a city with this many IB schools the language options differ school by school, so we match on the course code, not the subject name.
Mathematics AA and AI, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science, Business Management, Economics and Psychology, English A and B, Arabic A and B, French B and Spanish ab initio, with the IA, Extended Essay and TOK alongside.

Where we teach in person
Emirates Hills, Al Barsha, Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, Downtown, Business Bay, Dubai Marina, JVC, Arabian Ranches, Dubai Hills, Motor City, Mirdif and Deira. In the weeks around mocks and IA deadlines, most families switch some sessions online to buy back the travel time, with the same mentor either way.

The schools our students come from
Dubai International Academy in Emirates Hills, GEMS World Academy, North London Collegiate School Dubai, Uptown International School in Mirdif, Deira International School and Universal American School, among others. Their IA deadlines and mock weeks can differ by a month or more, so the plan starts from your school's calendar, not a generic one.
We teach in person across Dubai and online anywhere in the UAE.

FAQ
IB tutoring in Dubai, answered
- 01
How much does an IB tutor cost in Dubai?
Diploma Programme lessons are the high school rate: AED 180 an hour on Commitment, AED 200 on Flexible. MYP in Grades 6 to 8 is AED 160 and AED 180; MYP 4 and 5 are billed at the high school rate. VAT at 5% is included and a lesson at your home adds AED 40. Full breakdown.
- 02
Do you match on Maths AA and AI, HL and SL?
Yes, and it is the first thing we ask. Analysis and Approaches and Applications and Interpretation are separate courses with separate papers, and HL is not simply more of SL. We match mentors by course and level, and if we do not have the right person free that week, we tell you rather than sending someone close enough.
- 03
Can you help with the Internal Assessment and Extended Essay?
Yes, as coaching. We work on the research question, the method, the structure and the assessment criteria, and give feedback on drafts your child has written. We do not write any of it, and a mentor who offered to would not be working here.
- 04
Do you tutor the MYP as well as the Diploma?
Both. For the MYP we work to the criterion-based assessment your school uses, and on the subject and level choices that will shape the Diploma two years later, which is a decision far more families would like a second opinion on than ask for one.
- 05
Are lessons online or in person?
Both. We teach in person across Dubai and online anywhere in the UAE. In-person lessons add AED 40 each.
- 06
Who are the mentors?
University students and recent graduates who sat the Diploma themselves and scored well in the exact courses they teach. Matched on the course and the level, and on being able to reach your side of Dubai at the hour you want.
