Affordable online tutoring for Sharjah students at $15 a lesson

Sharjah families live with a particular kind of squeeze: many parents commute to Dubai for work, school pickups happen early, and evenings disappear into traffic on the E11. Online tutoring fits this life better than any in-person arrangement. Your child gets a British- or American-accent tutor at home, at a time that works, with nobody driving anywhere.

Which curricula do Sharjah schools teach?

Online tutoring in Sharjah with LiveTutor is a one to one service built for families in the United Arab Emirates who lose their evenings to the Dubai commute. Private schools in Sharjah are licensed by SPEA, and the emirate holds one of the country's most varied school mixes: a large Indian-curriculum sector alongside established British and American schools, so LiveTutor covers IGCSE, GCSE and A-Level, grade-level American courses with Digital SAT preparation, and the IB.

Sharjah runs on GMT+4 with a Monday to Friday school week, and a 7pm or 8pm start, once everyone is actually home, is simple to arrange because we match tutors who are available in the evening. Every subject and level costs $15 a lesson, the single rate published on the LiveTutor pricing page, and the United Arab Emirates is one of the 6 countries listed on the LiveTutor Middle East page. The first session is free.

Private schools in Sharjah are licensed by SPEA, and the emirate has one of the most varied school mixes in the UAE: a large Indian-curriculum sector alongside established British and American schools. Families at British-curriculum schools come to us for IGCSE, GCSE and A-Level support; families at American-curriculum schools for grade-level maths and English and, later, Digital SAT preparation.

Because Sharjah sits next to Dubai, plenty of children actually attend school across the border. That changes nothing for us: we match by curriculum and exam board, not by address. Tell us the school and year group and we place a tutor who teaches that exact specification.

When can Sharjah students take lessons?

Sharjah runs on GMT+4 with a Monday to Friday school week, so late-afternoon slots after school are the usual choice and weekend mornings are available too. Families who commute to Dubai often prefer 7pm or 8pm starts, after everyone is actually home, and those slots are easy to cover online.

Lessons run in our built-in classroom with video and a shared whiteboard. There is nothing to install, and your child joins from a link without needing an account.

Questions parents ask us

Is LiveTutor an affordable option for Sharjah families?

Yes. A lesson is $15 at every level, below the AED 70 to 250 an hour that our 2026 guide found for one-to-one online tutoring across the UAE. Because lessons are online, Sharjah families pay nothing for a tutor to travel in from elsewhere in the emirates, and the first lesson is free.

Which curricula do you cover for Sharjah schools?

British (IGCSE, GCSE, A-Level), American grade-level courses with Digital SAT preparation, and the IB. For children at Indian-curriculum schools we support maths, English and the sciences with a focus on fundamentals.

Do you serve families where the child studies in Dubai but lives in Sharjah?

Yes, and it makes no practical difference. We match by the school's curriculum and exam board, and lessons happen online at home in Sharjah.

How much does online tutoring cost in Sharjah?

$15 a lesson for every subject and level, on a weekly plan of 1 to 5 lessons a week billed monthly. The first session is a free trial.

What times work for commuting parents?

Evening slots from 7pm are popular with Sharjah families and easy to arrange, since we match tutors who are available then. Weekend sessions are also available.
