How much does A-Level or IB private tuition in Dhahran cost?

Spires operates a marketplace model where each tutor sets their own rates via a sealed-bid auction system. Starting rates typically begin at £30 per hour for school levels (including A-Level and IB), though actual prices may be higher depending on a tutor’s qualifications, years of experience teaching and subject demand. Examiner tutors and experienced educators may charge premium rates.

Students only pay for the hours booked; payments are processed securely via Stripe immediately after each class. There are no placement fees and no long-term contracts from Spires – tutors may negotiate individual arrangements. Tutors may charge full fees for no-shows or missed classes.
