Online tutoring for Dammam and Khobar students
The Dammam, Khobar and Dhahran triangle hosts one of the Gulf's largest expat professional communities, but the local pool of specialist tutors is far smaller than in Riyadh or Jeddah. Families used to accept whoever was available. Online tutoring removes that ceiling: your child works with a verified UK or US specialist in the exact course they study, from home on the Corniche side or a compound in Dhahran.
Which curricula do Dammam and Khobar schools teach?
Online tutoring in Dammam and Khobar with LiveTutor is a one to one service for families across Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, including Dhahran, where the pool of local subject specialists is far smaller than in Riyadh or Jeddah. International schools in the Eastern Province run British, American and IB programmes, so LiveTutor matches on the exam board: Cambridge, Edexcel or AQA for IGCSE and A-Level, credit-based American courses with Digital SAT preparation, or the IB Diploma.
Lessons last 60 minutes at Eastern Province time, GMT+3, and after-school slots between 4pm and 8pm fall inside the early afternoon of a British tutor's working day. Every subject and level costs $15 a lesson, the single rate published on the LiveTutor pricing page, bought as a weekly plan billed monthly. Saudi Arabia is one of the 6 countries listed on the LiveTutor Middle East page, and the first session is free.
International schools in the Eastern Province span British, American and IB programmes, with several large campuses serving Khobar and Dhahran's professional community. The courses are the same ones taught worldwide: IGCSE and A-Levels on the British side, credit-based courses and the Digital SAT on the American side, and the IB Diploma at several schools.
We match on the specification, not the school name. When you enquire, tell us the course and exam board, and if you are not sure, the school confirms it in one email. Your tutor then teaches that syllabus from the first lesson, with the right past papers.
When can Dammam and Khobar students take lessons?
The Eastern Province runs on GMT+3 with a Sunday to Thursday school week. After-school slots from 4pm to 8pm are early afternoon in the UK, comfortably inside our tutors' working day. Friday and Saturday give families the full weekend for longer sessions or exam-season doubles.
Lessons run in our built-in online classroom with video and a shared whiteboard. Nothing to install, and your child joins from a link without a login.
Questions parents ask us
Do you cover the schools around Dhahran's compounds?
We cover the curricula those schools teach: British IGCSE and A-Level, American courses with Digital SAT preparation, and the IB. The tutor is matched to the exact course, wherever the school is.
Why choose online over a local tutor in Khobar?
The specialist pool in the Eastern Province is small. Online, your child gets a tutor who teaches their exact syllabus every week, rather than the nearest available generalist.
How do payments work from Saudi Arabia?
You pay online by card, monthly, for a weekly plan of 1 to 5 lessons a week at $15 a lesson. Cancel any time and the plan stops at the end of the month you have paid for.
What times are available?
Most families book 4pm to 8pm GMT+3 on school days. Friday and Saturday sessions are available too, including mornings.
What subjects does LiveTutor teach?
One full lesson, completely free for every new child.
