The UAE has facilitated it and made it legal for working professionals, teachers, and students to provide private tutoring, either online or physically — by proposing a free private tutor work permit. This is enabling people to legally earn extra income as they contribute to the nation’s education system.
Qualifying applicants are university students, full-time educators, and members of other professions who want to offer learning assistance outside of regular employment. The permit is granted for free and guarantees that private tutors work under a regulated and professional environment.
To apply, the candidates need to go to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) website or application, provide personal and academic details, and upload appropriate identification and qualifications. The approval process usually takes a short time, if all criteria are fulfilled.
This step is a part of the UAE’s larger drive to stem illegal tutoring, safeguard students’ rights, and promote education entrepreneurship. It also provides a flexible earning opportunity to residents who are enthusiastic about teaching in a lawful, government-authorized manner.
