Verified online tutors for every subject and level — school, Matric, FSc, O/A Level, Quran and entry-test prep. Taught live in our own online classroom, from anywhere in Pakistan or the Gulf, on a schedule that suits you.
Quick answer
Al Noor Tuition provides online tuition across Pakistan with verified tutors for every subject and level — school, Matric, FSc, O Level, A Level, Quran and entry-test preparation. Lessons are live and one-to-one in our own browser-based classroom, with a shared writing board and, free on request, a recording of every class, and female tutors are available on request. Fees follow the class rather than the hour: typically PKR 7,000–12,000 a month for primary, PKR 11,000–19,000 for Matric, and PKR 15,000–38,000 per subject for O and A Level, with online quoted about 15% below the same tuition at home. We also teach families in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the wider Gulf, the UK, Europe, the USA, Canada and Australia, where tutors typically charge USD 9–30 an hour. The first lesson is free.
Every level a Pakistani student actually sits, plus the overseas curricula our expatriate families need. Where a subject is thin we say so rather than sending a tutor who will be out of their depth by the second term.
One tutor for all subjects, handling homework, school tests and the gaps a large classroom leaves behind.
Board-focused teaching on the Punjab, Sindh, Federal and other boards, with past papers and weekly tests.
Pre-medical and pre-engineering taught alongside entry-test preparation, not after it.
Cambridge (CAIE) and Pearson Edexcel specialists for every subject, drilled against the official mark schemes.
Subject specialists only — Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics and Accounting.
MDCAT, ECAT, NUST NET and NTS, taught as the timed, negatively-marked papers they actually are.
Qaida, Nazra, Tajweed and Hifz with qualified male and female teachers, one-to-one over video.
Grammar, writing and spoken confidence, plus IELTS speaking practice with a teacher who marks to the band descriptors.
IGCSE, GCSE, SAT, AP and ATAR for families in the Gulf, the UK, Europe, North America and Australia, typically USD 9–30 an hour.
Online tuition removes the biggest constraint of home tutoring — distance. Instead of settling for whoever lives nearby, you get the right subject specialist, wherever they are. There is no travel time for anyone, lessons can be recorded free for revision, and a shared digital whiteboard makes working through maths and science problems clearer than sitting side by side. For many families it is both more convenient and better value.
Fees are monthly, not hourly, and they follow the class and the number of subjects rather than the clock. The ranges below are for one-to-one tuition at four sessions a week; fewer sessions costs less, more subjects costs more, and online is quoted about 15% below the same tuition delivered at home because nobody is travelling.
Primary (Class 1–5)
At home: PKR 7,000–12,000
Online: PKR 6,000–10,000
Middle (Class 6–8)
At home: PKR 9,000–15,000
Online: PKR 7,500–13,000
Matric (Class 9–10)
At home: PKR 11,000–19,000
Online: PKR 9,500–16,000
FSc / Intermediate (11–12)
At home: PKR 14,000–24,000
Online: PKR 12,000–20,500
O Level· per subject
At home: PKR 15,000–27,000
Online: PKR 13,000–23,000
A Level· per subject
At home: PKR 20,000–38,000
Online: PKR 17,000–32,500
* Matric and FSc are quoted as one monthly fee for the whole package, so where a student sits in that range varies with the number of subjects and the number of classes a week. Three subjects twice a week is near the bottom of it; five subjects five days a week is near the top.
Group batches cost less again: O Level is PKR 10,000–15,000 per subject and A Level PKR 12,000–18,000 in a batch of 10–20 students. Quran fees work differently, because they depend on lesson length and how many days a week rather than on a school class — they are set out on the online Quran classes programme page. There is no registration fee, no platform charge, and nothing is payable before the free trial lesson. The estimator on our pricing page narrows all of this to your own class, subject count and schedule in four questions.
Classes run in Al Noor Live — a shared board the tutor writes on, screen sharing for past papers, and a recording the student can rewatch in exam week.
Attendance, what was covered and what was set for next time are all written down, so a parent is never relying on a tutor’s memory or their own.
The tutor teaches your child, not a room your child happens to be in. Small batches exist for O and A Level where pace and peer comparison genuinely help.
Early mornings, after Maghrib, weekends — and a fixed weekly slot, because tuition that moves every week stops happening by the second month.
None of this is theoretical in Pakistan, so it is planned for. Rejoining a class puts the student back in the same room rather than a new one, and with a free recording of the lesson a few lost minutes are recoverable. We measure connection quality on each class, which is how we can tell a student’s line apart from a tutor’s. And for families in the UAE, Qatar and Oman — where consumer video calling is restricted and what works varies by carrier and by month — lessons are scheduled on Zoom or Google Meet instead, because those get through reliably there.
It depends on the age and the subject, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling rather than advising. This is where we would and would not recommend it.
Home tuition usually wins
Younger children need somebody physically beside them to keep them on task and to see what they are writing. Online can work with a parent nearby, but it is the harder option at this age.
Either works well
The deciding factor is the tutor, not the medium. Online widens the choice and costs less; home suits a student who needs somebody sitting on them to do the work.
Online is usually better
Teaching is built around the syllabus and past papers rather than apparatus, so an annotated question paper on a shared screen works as well as a table — and a genuine examiner-trained specialist beats the best generalist nearby.
Online works remarkably well
Recitation is mostly listening and correcting, which a one-to-one call does cleanly. It also makes early-morning and post-Isha slots practical, which is when most families actually want them.
Online is the better fit
Preparation is timed practice and error analysis, both of which are easier to run and record online than on paper across a table.
Online, without much argument
Home tuition depends on a good teacher living near you. Where one does not, online is not the compromise — it is the only way to get the right teacher at all.
Many families use both — home tuition for a younger child and online for an exam subject. Our guide to home versus online tuition works through the trade-off in more detail, and home tuition is arranged city by city if that is the better answer for you.
Online lessons reach all four provinces, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. These are the cities with the deepest tutor rosters and their own pages; if yours is not listed, tell us anyway — for online tuition your city affects the timing and the exam board, not whether we can teach you.
A large share of our students are not in Pakistan. They are Pakistani children in Dubai, Riyadh, Doha, Kuwait City, Muscat and Manama, in international schools following Cambridge, Edexcel, IB or the American curriculum — and their parents want two things at the same time: proper subject teaching for the board the child actually sits, and a way to keep Urdu, Islamic Studies and Quran from quietly slipping away.
Tutors set their own rates for students abroad, typically USD 9–30 an hour — a fraction of the local rate in the Gulf, the UK, Europe or North America, because the tutor is paid a Pakistani wage.
Not a generalist who has heard of IGCSE. A specialist in that subject on that board, matched to the syllabus your school is actually teaching.
The same tutor pool and the same verification covers Urdu, Islamic Studies, Nazra, Tajweed and Hifz — the part a family abroad cannot easily arrange locally.
The Gulf is not one timetable. Two things change from country to country and both decide when a lesson can actually happen — the hour, and which nights are school nights. Getting those wrong is the usual reason overseas tuition quietly stops by the third week.
Consumer video calling is restricted here, so lessons are scheduled on Zoom or Google Meet rather than our own classroom — those connect reliably.

An hour or two of time difference is easy to absorb — a Pakistani tutor teaching at 8pm PKT is reaching a child at 7pm in Dubai or 6pm in Riyadh, which is a normal homework hour in both. What trips families up is the week. The UAE moved to a Saturday–Sunday weekend in January 2022 and is still the only Gulf state on it; Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain keep Friday–Saturday with a Sunday-to-Thursday school week. So a child in Sharjah is free on Friday and Saturday nights, and a child in Doha on Thursday and Friday nights. We set the weekly slot from that, not from what suits the tutor.
Further west the curriculum changes rather than the timetable. These families are usually sitting a local examination and want Urdu, Islamic Studies or Quran kept up alongside it.
A Pakistan evening is a UK afternoon, so lessons land straight after school. GCSE and A Level across AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC, plus 11+.
An early Pakistan morning is a US evening — the slot most families book. Middle and high school maths and science, plus SAT and AP.
Same evening slot as the US. The Ontario, Alberta and BC curricula, and SAT preparation for students applying south of the border.
A Pakistan morning is an Australian afternoon or evening. The Australian Curriculum through to ATAR, including HSC and VCE.
Pakistani families in Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Norway and the rest of Europe mostly have children in local schools and want maths, science and English explained in English or Urdu, with Quran alongside. And a Cambridge or Edexcel syllabus is the same in Nairobi as in Lahore, so students of any nationality can book.
Most of the continent is on Central European Time, 4 hours behind Pakistan in winter and 3 hours behind from late March to late October. Ireland and Portugal are an hour further back; Greece an hour closer. A lesson at 9pm in Pakistan is 5pm in Milan, Barcelona, Berlin or Oslo in winter, 6pm in summer.
Pakistan is UTC+5 all year: 2 hours ahead of East Africa, 4 hours ahead of West Africa, and 3 hours behind Malaysia and Singapore. A lesson at 5pm in Pakistan is 3pm in Nairobi, 1pm in Lagos and 8pm in Kuala Lumpur.
Somewhere not listed? Tell us the city and the hours that suit and we will match a tutor who is genuinely free at that time — we teach online only outside Pakistan, so there is no home tuition abroad, and no country is ruled out by distance. Send your requirement and the first lesson is free.
Most tuition fails quietly: attendance slips, homework stops being marked, and nobody notices until a report card. Every family gets a login, and so the record exists whether or not anyone thinks to ask for it.
Yes. Live one-to-one online lessons give the same personal attention as home tuition, with no travel time and a recording to revise from. For most secondary and higher-secondary students it is at least as effective as in-person — and it opens up specialist tutors who may not live in your city. Where it is weakest is with very young children, who need somebody physically alongside them, and where it is strongest is O and A Level, where having a genuine subject specialist matters more than being in the same room.
Fees follow the class and the number of subjects. Primary is typically PKR 7,000–12,000 a month, Matric PKR 11,000–19,000, FSc PKR 14,000–24,000, and O and A Level are quoted per subject at PKR 15,000–27,000 and PKR 20,000–38,000. Online is about 15% below the same tuition at home, because nobody is travelling. There is no registration fee and nothing is payable before the free trial lesson.
Our own classroom, Al Noor Live. It opens in a browser with no app to install, and gives the tutor a shared writing board, screen sharing for past papers, chat, and a recording of the lesson. Families in the UAE, Qatar and Oman are the exception: those countries restrict consumer video calling and what gets through varies by carrier and by month, so for them we schedule on Zoom or Google Meet, which work reliably there.
A smartphone, tablet or laptop, a browser, headphones and a usable internet connection. Nothing to install. A notebook and a pen still matter — the student should be writing, not only watching — and for maths and science a cheap stylus or a phone camera to photograph working makes the lesson much better.
Rejoining puts the student back in the same room rather than starting a new one, and if you have asked for free recordings, a few lost minutes are recoverable rather than gone. If a session is genuinely unusable the tutor reschedules it. We also measure connection quality on every class, which is how we know whether a recurring problem is the student’s line, the tutor’s, or the route between them.
Yes — verified female online tutors across all subjects and levels, including Quran. It is our most-requested category, so it is one we staff deliberately. See our female tutors page for how they are verified and what the first lesson looks like.
Yes, by about 15% for the same class, subjects and number of sessions, because the tutor is not spending an hour a day travelling. The bigger saving is usually invisible: online you can hire the right specialist rather than the best person within a twenty-minute drive, which for O Level, A Level and FSc is worth more than the fee difference.
Yes, and this is where online changes the most. Home tuition depends on a good teacher living near you; online does not. A student in Sukkur, Abbottabad, Dera Ghazi Khan or Quetta can be taught by the same Lahore or Karachi specialist a city student would get. We teach across all four provinces, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Usually within 24–48 hours: you share the requirement, we shortlist tutors who genuinely teach that syllabus at that level, you meet one in a free trial lesson, and a fixed weekly slot is set. Specialist A Level subjects can take a few days longer, because the honest pool of specialists is smaller and we would rather say so than fill the slot badly.
Attendance, lesson recordings, what was covered, marked homework and test scores are all in one place, and parents get their own login rather than a monthly verbal update. If progress stalls, the record shows whether it is attendance, homework or the teaching — which is the difference between fixing the problem and changing tutor at random.
Yes, at no cost. It is most often teaching style rather than ability — too fast, too gentle, no homework set — and all of those are fixable with a different tutor. Tell us what did not work and we will use it.
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. Lessons are live and one-to-one over video, taught to whichever board the child actually sits — Cambridge or Edexcel IGCSE, O Level and A Level, IB, the American curriculum, or the Federal Board syllabus of Pakistani community schools — with Urdu, Islamic Studies and Quran available from the same tutor pool. Tutors set their own rates for students abroad, typically USD 9–30 an hour, which is a fraction of the local tuition rate.
Pakistan is UTC+5. The UAE and Oman are one hour behind it, and Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain are two hours behind, so a tutor teaching at 8pm Pakistan time is reaching a child at 7pm in Dubai or 6pm in Riyadh — an ordinary homework hour in both. The harder question is which nights: the UAE has a Saturday–Sunday weekend, while Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain keep Friday–Saturday with a Sunday-to-Thursday school week. We set the weekly slot around your school week rather than ours.
Yes, but not on our own classroom. Those three countries restrict consumer voice and video calling, and what gets through varies by carrier and by month — which is worse than a clean block, because a class works during the trial and fails in week three. Families there are scheduled on Zoom or Google Meet, which connect reliably. Saudi Arabia lifted its restrictions years ago, so Al Noor Live works there normally.
Families outside Pakistan are quoted per hour in US dollars: tutors set their own rates, typically USD 9–30 an hour, depending on the subject, the level and the tutor's experience. In the Gulf, where currencies are pegged to the dollar, that is about AED 33–110 or SAR 34–113. The office confirms the exact rate and the payment details — usually an international bank transfer to our account in Pakistan — before regular classes begin, and the first lesson is free.
This is the most common reason Gulf and Western families come to us. Urdu, Islamic Studies, Nazra, Tajweed and Hifz are taught by the same verified tutors, one-to-one, and can be scheduled alongside school subjects in the same week. For many families abroad it is the part that is genuinely hard to arrange locally and straightforward to arrange from Pakistan.
Yes. We teach Pakistani families in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and across the Gulf, in the UK, Europe, the USA, Canada and Australia, and students of other nationalities sitting Cambridge or Edexcel exams anywhere, scheduling around your local time. Alongside Pakistani boards we teach GCSE, IGCSE, A Level, SAT, AP and ATAR, and Urdu, Islamic Studies and Quran are among the most-requested. Rates abroad are typically USD 9–30 an hour — usually a substantial saving against local tuition.
Either, and the honest answer is that it should match the exam. A Matric student sitting Urdu-medium papers is not helped by being taught in English they then have to translate back; an O Level student must be able to write the answer in the English the mark scheme expects. Tell us which medium the school uses and we match on it.
Both. One-to-one is the default and the right choice where a student has specific gaps or is aiming for an A*. Batches of 10–20 students run for O Level at PKR 10,000–15,000 per subject and A Level at PKR 12,000–18,000, and they suit students who are broadly on track and benefit from pace and peer comparison. Both include recordings, tests and progress reports.

Included as standard
Six things included with every online student, at no extra cost.
Real lessons with a real teacher at a fixed time — whiteboard, screen sharing and your child asking questions out loud, not a recorded video they watch alone.
Ask and we record your classes free of charge, so a missed lesson is not a lost lesson, and revision before a test means rewatching the explanation that worked the first time.
Recording is on by default and can be turned off on request.
Attendance, topics covered, test scores and the teacher’s own notes — so you know how it is going without having to ask every week.
Timed online papers built from a bank of thousands of syllabus questions, marked automatically, with worked explanations for every answer.
Test results are grouped by topic, so "he is weak in Chemistry" becomes "he is losing marks on mole calculations" — and the next few lessons target exactly that.
Hundreds of the same questions our students sit, published free with full explanations. Try the material before you pay for anything.
