What moves the price
- โ Tutor type: university students charge least; experienced specialists and former school teachers charge most
- โ Format: online lessons and small groups cost less than one-to-one home visits, which can add transport fees
- โ Packages: many centres sell blocks of 10 or 20 hours, so work out the real hourly price and what happens to unused hours
- โ Location: in-person specialists in high-demand areas can charge more
What we charge
EagleTeach's online one-to-one IGCSE classes start from US$12 for a 60-minute class (about AED 44, QAR 44, S$16 or HK$95), with the same tutor each week, matched to your board (Cambridge or Pearson Edexcel) and tier. Every family starts with two free demo classes; in the Gulf, a small booking deposit (AED 25 or QAR 25) holds the two demos and comes off the first invoice.
Comparing quotes fairly
- โ Compare per hour: a 45-minute lesson at a lower price can cost more per hour
- โ Check the board and tier: Cambridge Core or Extended, Edexcel Foundation or Higher
- โ Ask how past papers are marked: against the real mark scheme, with written feedback
- โ Check the cancellation policy and whether a trial lesson is free
