Hire a private tutor in Dubai

Private tutors for families in Dubai who want regular, structured help with school subjects and exams. Some families need a tutor a few afternoons a week for maths or English, others hire a full-time tutor for several children, often travelling with the family. Russian-speaking families often want a tutor who keeps the child on the Russian school programme alongside a British, American or IB school. We help you define the subjects, level and schedule, then assess candidates on a real lesson.

Who we help you hire

A tutor who knows the curriculum the child follows, plans lessons around real gaps and shows progress in a way parents can see.

What to check before hiring

A degree in a subject does not mean a person can teach a twelve-year-old. Check how the candidate explains, plans and works with the exact curriculum your child follows.

1
Lesson sample: a 30-minute lesson on a topic the child really finds hard, at the right level and in the right curriculum. We look at how the candidate finds the gap, explains in simple steps and checks understanding.
2
Curriculum check: the candidate explains how they would prepare for the child's next exam: topics, timeline, practice papers. For the Russian programme: how they plan the year so the child keeps up with both schools.
3
Homework and feedback task: a page of the child's work with mistakes: the candidate marks it, explains the mistakes in plain words and writes a short note to the parents.
4
References from families or schools: calls to previous families or school heads: results the children achieved, punctuality, how the candidate reported progress; clear goals for the first month, reviewed with the parents at the end of it.

Typical hiring mistake: hiring a strong subject expert who cannot work with children, or a pleasant tutor who does not know the exam format. A tutor teaches specific subjects with a plan and measurable goals; a governess looks after a child's learning and routine as a whole. If you need one person for homework, reading, routine and activities, look at the governess role; if you need results in specific subjects or exams, hire a tutor.
