Why UAE families choose Unitors for exam preparation
Diagnostic First, Always
Every plan opens with a diagnostic session on real past-paper questions, so revision time goes to the topics losing marks instead of the ones already secure.
Marked to the Mark Scheme
Tutors mark timed papers against the official mark scheme and review every lost mark, so students learn how examiners actually award credit.
Matched in 24 Hours
We hand-pick your tutor within 24 hours of the request form — fast enough to matter when the exam timetable is already published.
Fits Around Study Leave
One-to-one sessions 7 days a week, 7:00am to 10:00pm, so intensive revision can be scheduled during study leave, weekends or late evenings.
MoHRE & MoE Licensed
Every tutor holds a UAE Private Teacher Work Permit jointly issued by MoHRE and the Ministry of Education, and is vetted, background-checked and interviewed. Only 1 in 8 applicants is accepted.

If the first tutor is not the right fit we rematch you free of charge, on monthly plans with no long-term contract. Tutors come from Imperial College London, UCL, NYU Abu Dhabi and Khalifa University.
Which exams we prepare students for
Exam preparation runs across every major curriculum taught in UAE schools. Each exam below has its own dedicated page with subjects, exam boards and pricing.
IGCSE exam preparation
Preparation built around the Cambridge and Edexcel IGCSE papers your school actually sits, with past-paper marking against the official mark scheme. Sessions focus on the command words examiners use and the written technique each paper rewards.
IGCSE tutoring in DubaiA-Level exam preparation
Revision for CIE, Edexcel and AQA A-Level papers, including the multi-mark structured questions that decide the top grades. Tutors work backwards from your exam timetable so each topic is revised and tested before the paper arrives.
A-Level tutoring in DubaiIB exam preparation
Paper 1, 2 and 3 practice for IB SL and HL subjects, marked against IB criteria rather than general feedback. Internal assessment deadlines are planned alongside final-exam revision so the two do not collide in the same week.

IELTS tutoring in DubaiWhat exam preparation actually involves
Exam prep is a different job from term-time tutoring. These five things make up every Unitors revision plan, whatever the curriculum.
1. Diagnostics
The first session is spent on real past-paper questions to locate the exact topics and question types losing marks. Nothing is revised on a guess.
2. Past papers
Papers are sat under timed conditions and marked to the official mark scheme. Students then learn to self-mark, which is the fastest route to understanding the examiner.
3. Revision technique
Active recall, spaced repetition and worked-example practice replace re-reading notes. Tutors show students how to revise, not just what to revise.
4. Exam technique
Command words, timing per mark, showing working, structuring long answers and choosing which question to attempt first — the marks lost outside the syllabus.
5. Timeline planning
A week-by-week plan worked backwards from the published exam timetable, so every topic is revised and tested before its paper, and internal deadlines do not collide.
Progress checks
Timed papers repeat through the plan so improvement is measured in marks, not impressions, and the plan is adjusted when a topic is still weak.

Exam preparation in Dubai — FAQs
How much does exam preparation tutoring cost in Dubai?
Exam preparation with Unitors starts from AED 799 per month for online tutoring, which covers 8 one-to-one sessions, and from AED 1,599 per month for home tutoring in Dubai, which covers 4 sessions of 2 hours. Grade 11 and Grade 12 students pay AED 999 per month online and AED 1,799 per month at home. All plans are monthly with no long-term contract.
When should my child start preparing for exams?
Start 10 to 12 weeks before the first paper for a full revision cycle, which allows roughly six weeks of topic revision and four to six weeks of timed past papers. Students sitting IGCSE, A-Level, IB or AP exams in May and June therefore begin in February or March. Starting later still works, but the plan shifts from covering every topic to protecting the highest-value marks.
Can I get last minute exam help in Dubai?
Yes, Unitors matches students with an exam preparation tutor within 24 hours of the request form being submitted, including in the final weeks before a paper. Sessions run 7 days a week from 7:00am to 10:00pm, so intensive revision can be scheduled during study leave, over a weekend or late in the evening. Short-notice plans concentrate on past papers, mark schemes and exam technique rather than re-teaching the whole syllabus.
What happens in an exam preparation session?
The first session is a diagnostic: the tutor works through recent past-paper questions with the student to find exactly which topics and question types are losing marks. After that, each session targets a specific weakness, then tests it with timed questions marked against the official mark scheme. Tutors teach exam technique alongside content, covering command words, working out, timing per mark and how to answer the long structured questions.
Do exam prep tutors use past papers and mark schemes?
Yes, past papers and official mark schemes are central to every Unitors exam preparation plan. Tutors set papers under timed conditions, mark them to the examiner's criteria, and then review each lost mark with the student so the same error is not repeated. Students learn to self-mark, which is the fastest way to understand how an examiner awards marks.
Are Unitors exam preparation tutors licensed in the UAE?
Yes, every Unitors tutor holds a UAE Private Teacher Work Permit jointly issued by MoHRE and the Ministry of Education, and is interviewed and background-checked before being accepted. Only 1 in 8 applicants is accepted. Tutors hold degrees from universities including Imperial College London, UCL, NYU Abu Dhabi and Khalifa University.
Is online or in-person exam revision better?
Both work, and the choice usually comes down to logistics rather than results. Online exam revision suits intensive schedules because sessions can be added at short notice anywhere in the UAE and GCC, and past papers can be annotated live on a shared whiteboard. Home tutoring in Dubai and Abu Dhabi suits students who need a tutor physically present to hold a full timed paper and keep focus for two hours.
What if the exam prep tutor is not the right fit?
Unitors rematches you with a different tutor free of charge if the first tutor is not the right fit. The academic team hand-picks each match based on subject, exam board and grade level, and a rematch is arranged without extra cost or a new contract. All plans are monthly, so nothing locks a family into a tutor who is not working out.
