What is Educrest?
Educrest arranges live lessons of 60, 90 or 120 minutes with a tutor chosen for what you want to learn, for one learner or a small group such as siblings or friends. That could be Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry, IELTS before a move abroad, the piano, Python, public speaking, or accounting for a university course. Lessons run online with specialist tutors around the world, or at home with tutors who live in the UAE and hold the Private Teacher Work Permit. Whoever is learning, the first step is the same: an enquiry through the registration form.
- Who learns: children in the early years, school students, university students, adults and professionals.
- What they learn: school curricula, university subjects, languages and language exams, test preparation, music, arts, technology, business and communication skills, sports, hobbies and cooking.
- Who books: a parent or guardian for a child, a learner for themselves, or someone for a relative, friend or colleague.
- Online lessons are open in every emirate now. At-home lessons open in Dubai and Abu Dhabi first, then the other emirates.
- Tutors who live in the UAE and hold the Private Teacher Work Permit can apply to join. Tutors based outside the UAE teach online only.
Our promise, and where lessons go next
The promise
“Every local tutor on Educrest holds a valid UAE private teacher permit.”
A local tutor is one who lives in the UAE and teaches at home. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) issues the Private Teacher Work Permit, which it introduced with the Ministry of Education on 18 December 2023. One permit covers lessons in person and online.
Where lessons go next
At-home lessons open in Dubai and Abu Dhabi first. Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah follow as permit-holding tutors join. Online lessons are open to learners in all seven emirates now.
Where lessons run today
Online lessons are open now. At-home lessons open emirate by emirate, as tutors with a UAE permit join.
- Now
Online, in every emirate
Online lessons are open to learners anywhere in the UAE, from Abu Dhabi and Al Ain to Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah, taught live by specialist tutors from around the world. Lessons for adults and university students take place online.

At home across the other emirates
Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah open for at-home lessons as permit-holding tutors join there. Until then, learners in those emirates can learn online.
Who teaches, and how a tutor is chosen
What stands behind every match, at home and online.
A permit for every local tutor
The Private Teacher Work Permit covers lessons at home and online, so a tutor who lives in the UAE holds it for both. MoHRE issues it, and it is valid for two years.
A code of conduct
Permit holders sign a code of conduct. It keeps information about students and parents confidential, and it bars a school teacher from tutoring students of the school where they work.
Specialist tutors worldwide, online
Tutors based outside the UAE teach online only. That opens the search to specialists in one exam board, one instrument or one programming language, wherever they live.
Matched to your goal
You say what you want to learn, the level and the goal, and the tutor is chosen for it. If the match turns out wrong, you can ask for a replacement tutor.

Questions people ask about Educrest
Short answers on who learns, who teaches, where lessons happen and how to begin.
Educrest is private tutoring in the United Arab Emirates, from early years to adults. Lessons are live and last 60, 90 or 120 minutes, for one learner or a small group of up to six, such as siblings or friends learning together. The catalogue runs from the early years and school curricula to university subjects, languages, test preparation, music, arts, technology, business skills, sports, hobbies and cooking.
Children in the early years, school students, university students, adults and professionals. A parent or guardian can register a child, a learner can register themselves by choosing "Myself" on the registration form, and anyone can register a relative, friend or colleague.
Lessons for adults take place online, live, at times that fit around work or study. Start from your goal: an IELTS or TOEFL date, the CFA exam, project management, French before a move, a first guitar piece or Python for a new role. Name it in your enquiry and the tutor is chosen for it.
Online lessons are available now in every emirate: Dubai, Abu Dhabi (Al Ain included), Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. At-home lessons are opening in Dubai and Abu Dhabi first, and reach the other emirates as permit-holding tutors join. Lessons for adults and university students are online, and in Dubai, so are lessons for children aged six and under.

Yes. Educrest is opening now, so this site shows no reviews, ratings or learner numbers.
Tell the team and they will look for a replacement tutor. A good match depends on the subject, the level, the goal and how the learner likes to work, and sometimes the second match is the one that fits.
Lessons are priced in UAE dirhams (AED). Educrest is still setting its prices, so none are published on this site yet. Your enquiry starts here, and payment and the lesson agreement are handled on the global platform Educrest belongs to.
