Frequently Asked Questions

NUM8ERS has proudly been trusted by families behind some of Dubai’s most influential businesses. Families whose enterprises have shaped the emirate’s remarkable growth and its transformation into a global hub. We are also the choice of families relocating to Dubai, who seek the reassurance that their children receive the very best tutoring available.

We believe true proactivity means understanding how each student learns best and then crafting a plan around their unique style. At NUM8ERS, learning is a custom-tailored experience, as refined and precise as a Rolls-Royce, ensuring it feels natural, not institutional. Unlike other centers that run education like an assembly line, forcing every child through the same formula, our approach builds lasting confidence, real-world application, and genuine success.

NUM8ERS isn’t just another tutoring center. We’re where excellence meets personalization. From IB and AP to GCSE/IGCSE, American, and UAE MOE curriculums, our specialist tutors deliver learning in either small groups or fully tailored 1-to-1 sessions. Plus, with our adaptive online portal, parents can see homework completed and track real progress every step of the way.

For Sly, tutoring goes beyond equations and formulas. He gives his heart and soul to each student, dedicating himself to building their confidence and ensuring they leave with more than just academic knowledge. His approach emphasizes real-world applications, helping students understand how math connects to life beyond the classroom.

Most students begin with 1–2 hours per subject weekly, with group sessions typically running 2 hours. During exams or class tests, students often request extra time, and we gladly accommodate. At NUM8ERS, we encourage students to use our space to practice as much as they need, because we believe every student can achieve top results with the right time and support. Unlike schools that follow a one-size-fits-all schedule, we adapt to each student’s pace, giving them the time to understand, master, and apply their learning, building true confidence along the way.

Our tutoring fees vary depending on whether sessions are 1-to-1 or in small groups. We’d be happy to provide you with a personalized quote after understanding your child’s needs. Please reach out to us directly for details.

Even strong students can benefit from a tutor. In large classes, many feel overlooked or rushed as teachers fast-track lessons. At NUM8ERS, we provide the individual attention schools often can’t, helping students polish what they know, close any small gaps, and build complete confidence so they don’t just do well, they achieve their very best.

No. Even while we encourage peer-to-peer learning, all formal NUM8ERS tutors are qualified professionals who hold at least a bachelor’s degree in their subject. To deepen understanding, we often challenge students who say they’ve mastered a topic by asking them to explain their method at the board. This practice not only reinforces their learning but also builds confidence, helps them present ideas clearly in front of others, and makes speaking up less intimidating in a supportive small group setting.

Cancel or reschedule 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged; emergencies are handled case-by-case.

Absolutely, your child’s comfort and progress are our top priority. If the connection with a tutor isn’t the right fit, we’ll happily arrange a better-matched tutor to ensure a smooth learning experience, with no extra cost involved!
