Paying
How paying works
- Free assessment. A UK teacher meets your child online at a time agreed in UAE time, and we find out what to work on first.
- Written plan and price. We send the plan, the teacher we suggest and the exact hourly price in pounds. Nothing is booked until you agree.
- Pay in pounds. You pay through TutorCruncher, our booking platform. Your bank converts the payment to dirhams; ask it whether it charges for paying in pounds.
- Pause or stop any time. There is no contract. Tell us before a holiday, Ramadan or exam leave and we pause the lessons.
Questions about prices
Why are prices in pounds and not dirhams?
Brainhub is a UK company, so we bill in pounds (£). The dirham figures are a guide using the Wise mid-market rate on the date shown. Your bank’s rate on the day decides what you pay in dirhams.
How much is an online IGCSE tutor for a family in Dubai?
IGCSE lessons start at £40 an hour (about AED 195) with a specialist tutor, or £50 (about AED 245) with a PGCE-qualified teacher. You get the exact price in your written plan after the free assessment.
Are there any joining or admin fees?
No. There are no registration, joining, platform or admin fees, and no contract. You pay for lessons only, and the first assessment is free.
Is the price the same as in the UK?
No. Online lessons for families outside the UK cost our UK online price plus £10 an hour. The discounts are the same: 5% off for 3 or more subjects, 5% off for 3 hours a week, and small discounts for paying monthly or for the school year.
Can we pause lessons for holidays?
Yes. Pay as you go and pause whenever you need to, for a holiday, Ramadan or exam leave, then pick up again when you are ready.
