What IB Diploma Support Costs from the UAE
The Diploma is not one thing to buy. Six subjects, an extended essay, internal assessments and TOK each need something different, and they are priced separately here so you can buy only what you need.
- Subject tutoring, written-work supervision and revision, priced apart
- Pre-IB and Mid-IB programmes for students not yet sitting exams
- Revision course priced by how many subjects you bring
- Intensive group camp with an instalment option
What most IB families actually buy
The common pattern is not a large package in one subject. It is ten lessons in whichever HL subject is dragging the predicted grade down, taken across a term, plus a handful of supervision sessions on the extended essay at the two points where students get stuck — choosing the research question, and turning a first draft into something that meets the criteria. That combination is often twelve to fifteen lessons in total across two products, and it is considerably cheaper than the twenty-lesson block people expect to be quoted.
The exception is the run-up to the May or November session, where the revision course does something one-to-one cannot do economically: thirty hours per subject of structured, examined revision at a price per subject that falls as you add more. A student revising four subjects pays substantially less per subject than one revising a single subject, which is the opposite of how lesson packages work and is worth knowing before you plan the spring.
What we will not do with written work
Supervision of an internal assessment, extended essay or TOK essay is advisory. We do not write, redraft or edit a student’s work, because doing so would breach the IB’s academic integrity policy and can cost the whole Diploma. A supervisor who offers otherwise is selling you a risk, not a service.
One-to-one lesson packages
Every lesson is 90 minutes with the same tutor. The per-lesson rate falls as the package grows, and the single lesson exists so you can meet a tutor before committing to a block.
| Package | Total | Per lesson |
|---|---|---|
| 1 lesson | AED 367AED 367 per lesson | AED 367 |
| 10 lessons | AED 3,562AED 356 per lesson | AED 356 |
| 20 lessons | AED 6,977AED 349 per lesson | AED 349 |
Packages do not expire on a fixed date; they are used at the pace you and the tutor set. Unused lessons are refundable under the terms on the refund policy page.
Group course
A live online cohort following a fixed syllabus and timetable, at a fraction of the one-to-one cost. It suits a student who is on track and needs structure, rather than one with specific gaps.
| How you pay | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Full payment | AED 2,938Paid once, before the cohort starts | Paid once, before the cohort starts |
| 2 instalments | AED 1,653 eachSpread across the course; the total is higher than paying once | Spread across the course; the total is higher than paying once |
Cohorts run to a published timetable and open on set dates, so the start is not chosen by you the way a private schedule is. Ask us when the next one begins before you buy.
IB-specific programmes
The Diploma needs more than subject lessons. These four are priced separately because they are separate pieces of work.
IA, EE and TOK supervision
Booked as lessons, with a supervisor who has marked the criteria you are being marked against.
| Package | Total | Per lesson |
|---|---|---|
| 1 lesson | AED 367AED 367 per lesson | AED 367 |
| 10 lessons | AED 3,562AED 356 per lesson | AED 356 |
| 20 lessons | AED 6,977AED 349 per lesson | AED 349 |
Revision course
Intensive revision in the weeks before the May or November session, priced by how many subjects you bring to it.
| Subjects | Price | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| 1 subject | AED 4,22330 hours | 30 hours |
| 2 subjects | AED 7,89560 hours | 60 hours |
| 3 subjects | AED 11,01790 hours | 90 hours |
| 4 subjects | AED 14,322120 hours | 120 hours |
Pre-IB
For students starting the Diploma next year. Taught before DP1 begins, to close the gap between IGCSE or a national curriculum and HL expectations.
| Subjects | Price | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| 1 subject | AED 1,41410 lessons | 10 lessons |
| 2 subjects | AED 2,62620 lessons | 20 lessons |
| 3 subjects | AED 3,67230 lessons | 30 lessons |
| 4 subjects | AED 4,77440 lessons | 40 lessons |
Mid-IB
For students already in DP1, running alongside school across the year rather than as a burst before an exam.
| Subjects | Price | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| 1 subject | AED 2,80920 lessons | 20 lessons |
| 2 subjects | AED 5,61940 lessons | 40 lessons |
| 3 subjects | AED 7,34560 lessons | 60 lessons |
| 4 subjects | AED 9,54880 lessons | 80 lessons |
Support for written work is advisory and supervisory. We do not write, redraft or edit a student’s internal assessment or extended essay, because doing so would breach the IB’s academic integrity policy and put the whole Diploma at risk.
