IGCSE tutors in Dubai who sat the exams themselves
IGCSE tutoring
IGCSE is its own game. We play it well.
Cambridge, Edexcel and OxfordAQA, taught by university mentors who aced IGCSE just a few years ago. Online or in person across Dubai.

What makes the difference
- 01
Board-specific prep
Cambridge, Edexcel and OxfordAQA ask questions differently and reward answers differently. Your child practises on their own board's past papers and is marked against its official mark schemes, not generic worksheets. Getting the board wrong is the most expensive revision mistake we see.
- 02
Recent exam experience
Our mentors sat these papers a few years ago, not decades. They remember exactly where marks are lost: the missing keyword in a science answer, the skipped working in maths that forfeits the method marks, the unstructured English response that had the right ideas in the wrong order.
- 03
Progress you can see
After every lesson you receive a progress note: what was covered, what improved and what comes next. No guessing how tutoring is going. Year 10 and Year 11 are where a small gap quietly becomes a grade, and the note is how you find out in October rather than in April.
Subjects
Every IGCSE subject, one place
Maths
Core and Extended, and the tier-of-entry decision that comes with them. Entering a capable student for Core caps them at a grade 5, and that call should be made on past-paper evidence rather than on nerves in the week the entries go in.
Sciences
Physics, Chemistry and Biology, separate or coordinated, across the theory papers and whichever practical route your school enters for. Dubai schools split between the practical paper and the alternative, so we check yours before planning.
English
First Language and Literature: essay structure, unseen analysis, and the coursework portfolio, which is where Dubai schools differ most in what they actually expect.
Business & Econ
Case-study technique, the definitions examiners actually reward, and the evaluation marks that separate a 7 from a 9.
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English Language and Literature, Business Studies, Economics, Computer Science, Arabic, French and more. With 150+ mentors covering 60+ subjects, if it's on the timetable, we teach it.
Across Dubai
From Jumeirah to Mirdif, and online everywhere else
-
01
Where we teach in person
Mentors travel to homes in Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, Al Barsha, Emirates Hills, Arabian Ranches, Dubai Hills, Motor City, Downtown, Business Bay, Dubai Marina, JVC, Mirdif and Deira. When the drive becomes the problem (and in the weeks before the May/June series it usually does), we move the same mentor online and keep the schedule intact.

The schools our students come from
Jumeirah College, Dubai College, JESS Arabian Ranches, Dubai British School, DESS College and the GEMS Wellington schools, among others. Each sets its mocks at a different point in the year and enters for a different board, so the revision plan is built from your school's calendar and your school's specification, not a generic one.
Private candidates register through the British Council, which runs exams for a handful of Dubai schools as attached centres; a student entered by their own school sits in that school. The Council, whose Dubai office is on Tariq Bin Ziyad Street behind Dubai TV, and students entered by their own school sit in that school. Dubai has one advantage worth using: the Knowledge and Human Development Authority publishes each private school's own calendar on its school profile, so term ends and holiday weeks are knowable months ahead. Send us your school and we build the plan backwards from its published dates rather than from a generic year.
We teach in person across Dubai and online anywhere in the UAE.

FAQ
IGCSE tutoring in Dubai, answered
- 01
How much does an IGCSE tutor cost in Dubai?
IGCSE is the high school rate: AED 180 an hour on Commitment, AED 200 on Flexible. VAT at 5% is already in those figures and a lesson at your home adds AED 40. The full breakdown is on one page.
- 02
Do you cover Cambridge, Edexcel and OxfordAQA?
Yes. Mentors teach across all three boards and prepare students with the specific past papers and mark schemes of their board, because the difference between boards is where many marks are quietly lost.
- 03
Core or Extended: which should my child take?
Extended, unless there is a clear reason not to. Core caps the achievable grade at 5, which closes off most sixth-form science and maths routes. The honest way to decide is to sit one past paper of each under timed conditions and look at the marks, and that is something we do in the first few lessons rather than guess at.
- 04
Are lessons online or in person?
Both. We teach in person across Dubai and online anywhere in the UAE. Many families combine the two: in-person lessons weekly, with extra online sessions in the run-up to exams.
- 05
Who are the mentors?
University students and recent graduates who sat IGCSE themselves a few years ago and scored highly in the subjects they teach. Matched on the board and the syllabus, and on being able to reach your side of Dubai at the hour you want.
- 06
How quickly can my child start?
Usually within a few days. Send the subject and the board, and the first lesson is arranged around the school week rather than instead of it.
