How Much Does Online O Level and A Level Tuition Cost in 2026? (Pakistan, UAE, UK)

How much does online O Level tuition cost in Pakistan?

Online O Level tuition in Pakistan costs roughly PKR 5,500 to PKR 19,000 per subject per month for group classes, based on the prices that online academies publish on their own websites. One-to-one O Level classes cost roughly PKR 2,800 to PKR 3,500 per class. The wide range reflects group size, class length and how much marking and support is included.

Most Pakistani academies sell O Level and IGCSE tuition per subject per month, while one-to-one tutoring is usually sold per class. The table below lists the figures we could verify on each provider's own page on 4 October 2026. Prices change, so treat them as a snapshot and check the provider's page before you decide.

Two things stand out. First, the cheapest monthly plans usually mean larger online groups or a mix of live and recorded lessons, so the price per hour of live teaching can be closer than the headline suggests. Second, several providers discount extra subjects or siblings: GIVES lists PKR 15,000 a month for three or more O Level subjects, and Learners Academy lists a 20% discount for three or more subjects. For context on what families spend in person, the same SJ Academy guide puts after-school coaching in Karachi at PKR 10,000 to 20,000 per subject per month.

How much does online A Level tuition cost in Pakistan?

Online A Level tuition in Pakistan costs roughly PKR 6,500 to PKR 24,000 per subject per month for group classes, and about PKR 3,500 to PKR 4,000 per one-to-one class, among providers that publish prices. A Level is priced higher than O Level almost everywhere, because the content is harder and fewer tutors teach it well.

Because online classes have no travel cost, an online fee is usually the same whether you live in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or a smaller city. If you are comparing with an A Level college, remember that college tuition covers a full timetable: the SJ Academy guide lists monthly college tuition in Karachi of PKR 45,000 to 90,000, plus admission and security fees.

How much does an online IGCSE or A Level tutor cost in the UAE?

An online IGCSE or A Level tutor in the UAE typically costs about AED 100 to AED 376 an hour for one-to-one classes, based on the ranges that tutoring companies publish, while online academies that publish Gulf group prices charge AED 175 to AED 330 per subject per month. In-person home tutors in Dubai are usually the most expensive option.

The same Tutopiya article puts premium in-person tutors in Dubai at AED 250 to 500 an hour. Families in Saudi Arabia and Qatar usually see the same figures in SAR or QAR from providers that price the Gulf as one market.

If you hire an individual tutor rather than an academy, check that they hold the UAE's private teacher work permit. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation and the Ministry of Education introduced it in December 2023, and Gulf News reports that it is free and valid for two years.

How much does an A Level or GCSE tutor cost in the UK?

An online A Level or GCSE tutor in the UK typically costs from about £20 to £26 an hour on the big tutoring marketplaces, with experienced tutors charging £45 to £65 an hour or more. Tutorful reported average rates of £41.88 an hour for A Level and £35.86 for GCSE in an article dated June 2024.

Private tuition is common in the UK. The Sutton Trust's Private Tutoring 2026 report found that 29% of secondary school students in England and Wales have had private tutoring at some point, rising to 45% in London. Marketplace tutors set their own prices, so the same subject can cost twice as much from one tutor as from another.

Why do tuition fees vary so much?

Tuition fees vary mainly because of the format, the level and what the fee includes. A one-to-one class gives a student the tutor's full attention, so it costs more per hour than a group class. A Level costs more than O Level, and specialist subjects or university-level teaching cost more again.

The main cost drivers to look for in any quote are:

• Format and group size. A group of 6 and a group of 25 are both "group classes", but the attention each student gets is very different.
• Class length and frequency. A monthly fee for 8 classes of 75 minutes buys ten hours of teaching; the same fee for 4 classes of 60 minutes buys four.
• The tutor's experience and specialism. Tutors who know your exact syllabus code and its mark schemes are in shorter supply, especially for A Level Physics, Further Maths and Chemistry.
• What is included. Marked past papers, notes, recordings and progress reports add value; recorded-only courses cost less but give less feedback.
• One-off fees. Registration or admission fees, notice periods and advance payments change the real cost of the first month.

How do you compare tuition quotes fairly?

Compare tuition quotes by working out the price per hour of live teaching, then adjusting for group size and what is included. Divide the monthly fee by the number of live teaching hours in the month. A monthly fee of PKR 10,000 for eight 75-minute classes, for example, buys ten hours of teaching, or PKR 1,000 per hour.

Before you pay, ask every provider the same questions:

1. How many live classes are there each month, and how long is each one?
2. How many students are in a group, at most?
3. Does the tutor teach my child's exact board and syllabus code (for example Cambridge 9702 or Pearson 4MA1)?
4. Is homework or past-paper practice marked, and how quickly?
5. Is there a registration fee, and what is the notice period?
6. What happens if my child misses a class, or the tutor cancels?

If a provider cannot answer these clearly before you pay, that tells you something too. Our checklist on how to choose an online O Level or A Level tutor covers the quality questions in more detail.
