Find a tutor
Filter by subject, grade and area. Every tutor teaches the British curriculum.
• Contact tutors only through the buttons on this app, so we have a record and can help if anything goes wrong.
• For home lessons, a parent or guardian must be at home during the lesson, and the lesson should happen in a common room — never leave your child alone with the tutor.
• Never pay in advance. Start with one trial lesson and pay the tutor directly after it.
• If anything feels wrong, tap 'Report this tutor' and tell us.
Dubai Tutors is a listing directory only — we don't employ tutors and we're not responsible for lessons or payments between parents and tutors. See the full note at the bottom of this page.
How it works
For parents
Find your tutor
Filter by subject, grade, area and price. Read each tutor's experience and permit status.

List as a tutor
Are you a British-curriculum tutor in Dubai? Add yourself — it takes two minutes.
• Every application is reviewed by our team. Nothing goes live automatically.
• After submitting, confirm your number by messaging us on WhatsApp. We will ask for your tutor permit and ID — send them to earn your 'Permit verified' badge. No permit proof, no listing.
• If any detail is found fake — a false permit, false identity, or false qualifications — you will be blocked and you cannot apply again.
Confirm on WhatsApp
That message comes from your own number, so it proves the number is yours. We will review your registration and list you once it is approved. Your details go to our team for review — nothing is listed until we approve it.
Questions parents ask
Do tutors on this app need a permit?
Yes. In the UAE, private tutors need a permit to teach. Tutors who hold one show a “Permit verified” badge. Tutors who are applying show that status on their card.
How do I pay the tutor?
Directly to the tutor — most accept bank transfer or cash. Agree the price and payment method with the tutor on WhatsApp before the first lesson. Dubai Tutors does not take payment.
Can I try one lesson first?
Yes. Most parents start with a single trial lesson and then decide. Ask the tutor about a trial when you message them.
Home visit or online — which is better?
Home visits suit younger children. Online suits IGCSE and A-Level students who are used to studying on a screen. Use the “Lesson mode” filter to see tutors for each.
What if the tutor is not a good fit?
Just tell the tutor after the trial lesson. You are free to try another tutor from the list — there is no booking fee.
How do you stop fake tutors?
Every tutor registration is reviewed by our team before it appears on this page. Tutors must show permit proof to earn the “Permit verified” badge. If a tutor misbehaves, use the “Report this tutor” link on their card and we will remove them.
Should I pay in advance?
No. Never pay in advance. Start with one trial lesson, and pay the tutor only after it. If anyone asks for advance payment, report them using the “Report this tutor” link on their card.
