Looking for extra support in physics through private tutoring is common among students and families. The amount spent on such lessons may vary based on several points.
This article looks at what to expect in terms of cost and what affects the price of private physics tutoring Dubai.
General price range in Dubai:
In Dubai, private physics tutoring rates often start from AED 150 per hour and may go up to AED 400 or more. The average rate for an experienced tutor is around AED 200–300 per hour. Tutors with specific experience or higher qualifications may ask for more. Some tutors also charge by the session instead of per hour.
Online tutoring through local or international platforms is also popular in Dubai. These may cost slightly less, though some experienced tutors charge the same for online and in-person lessons.
Tutor’s background:
One main reason for the price difference is the tutor’s background. A tutor with a strong academic record, many years of experience, or one who specializes in certain exam boards like IB, IGCSE, or A-Level, often charges more. Tutors who work in international schools or have studied physics at university level may also ask for higher rates.
Instead, younger tutors or university students offering lessons as part-time work may charge lower rates, making them a suitable option for those looking to spend less.
Type of class:
Private one-on-one lessons are usually more expensive than group sessions. Some parents choose small group classes, where two or three students are taught together, as these often cost less per person. Online group classes may also be available at a lower price.
Some tutors or centres offer packages of classes, which may reduce the hourly cost slightly. For example, booking 10 sessions in advance might include a small discount.
Frequency and extra charges:
How often your child attends lessons also affects the total amount spent. One session per week is common, but during exam periods, students may take two or more lessons each week.
Some tutors may add travel charges if they visit your home. Others include printed notes, books, or practice sheets, while some may ask for extra payments for such materials. It’s a good idea to ask about these things before the first lesson.
