TUTORS

All tutors on Tutor Chooser must hold a valid UAE private tutor licence. You can apply for this free of charge through the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation (MOHRE).

While we can’t guarantee tuition for every tutor, Tutor Chooser is designed to maximise your opportunities by promoting your profile across paid advertising channels and connecting you with families who are actively seeking qualified, licensed tutors.

Once your profile is verified, it is featured in targeted Google and Meta campaigns, highlighted in UAE parent groups, and shown to families who search our platform by subject, availability, or qualifications. That means when we contact you with interest from a parent, the family has already reviewed your profile and expressed a genuine desire to work with you.

Our marketing spend is 100 % funded by tutor memberships, so every dirham goes back into visibility for you. This reduces mismatched enquiries and ensures you’re only connected with families who understand your experience and preferences, making interactions more efficient and worthwhile.

Our goal is to generate the most suitable tutoring opportunities for you throughout the year, helping you grow your client base and maximise your earning potential.

No. Tutor Chooser does not offer salaries, guaranteed income, or contracted work.

Tutors using the platform are independent service providers advertising their availability to parents. We simply facilitate introductions - you choose how much or how little you want to work.

   - There is no minimum or maximum number of sessions you must deliver.
    - You are free to set your own rates, terms, and availability.
    - All lessons and payments are arranged directly between you and the parent.
    - It is your responsibility to comply with local laws, including any tax or licensing requirements under UAE regulations.

Tutor Chooser never takes commission on sessions and is not involved in scheduling, lesson delivery, or payment beyond the initial consultation.

Yes, but you must still be physically based in the UAE. It’s up to you whether you offer in-person or online tutoring, based on your preferences and those of the parent.

You can decline a request without penalty. However, we ask that you respond within the 24-hour window, even if declining, with a brief reason, such as:
‍
    - Fully booked at the requested times
    - No longer teaching that subject
   - Not currently taking on new students
    - Insufficient capacity to fulfill request

This helps parents adjust their search and improves their experience on the platform.

Going away?
If you know you'll be unavailable for a while (e.g., travel, exams, personal leave), update your availability settings in your tutor dashboard. This will temporarily pause introduction requests.

Your verification remains valid for as long as you maintain an active membership.

If your membership ends and you return later, you’ll need to pay the Verification Fee again to have your ID, Police Clearance, and Educational Credentials reviewed and re-approved.  Staying continuously active avoids the need, and cost, of re-verification.

No.  In line with UAE Ministerial Resolution No. 710 of 2023, teachers are prohibited from tutoring students affiliated with their own school.  Any conflict of interest must be disclosed.

Yes. Tutors must comply with child safeguarding laws including Wadeema's Law (Federal Law No. 3 of 2016), as well as the professional Code of Practice outlined in UAE Ministerial Resolution No. 710 of 2023.

If you cancel or miss a confirmed consultation, the parent is eligible for a refund, and your profile may be reviewed.  Repeated no-shows can lead to suspension.

Tutors must maintain professionalism and:
    - Avoid inappropriate contact or communication
    - Never engage in extremist, violent, or culturally inappropriate discussions
    - Respect student privacy and confidentiality
    - Follow UAE laws on modesty and public conduct

The verification fee is a one-off fee on joining that covers the administrative costs of verifying each tutor’s documents in line with Tutor Chooser policy and UAE legal requirements.

This process includes:
    - Confirming your qualifications and subject expertise
    - Verifying that you are a UAE resident with a valid Emirates ID
    - Ensuring you hold a valid Police Clearance Certificate
    - Reviewing all submitted documents for consistency, accuracy, and safeguarding compliance

This fee is separate from any tuition earnings, as Tutor Chooser takes no commission or deductions from the fees tutors charge. Tutors are paid directly by parents and set their own terms.

The verification fee allows us to maintain a safe, trusted, and high-quality platform, giving both tutors and families peace of mind that everyone listed is qualified, verified, and compliant.
