Finance and business tutoring for families in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dhahran.

Saudi Arabia's international schools serve families from all over the world, and their students take the same AP and IB exams as students anywhere else. I work from your student's own class, at a time that fits the Saudi school week.

The courses

What we work on.

Bring your slides, problem sets, and your last midterm. We work from your actual course.

Local schools

American International School Riyadh, American School Dhahran, American International School of Jeddah, The KAUST School

Some schools here are IB only, and others offer AP economics and IB Business Management side by side. We work from whatever your student is taking.

IB Diploma

IB Business Management and IB Economics

SL and HL. Finance and accounts, Paper 2 numbers, and the research project in Business Management. Diagrams, data response, and the HL policy paper in Economics.

American curriculum

AP® Business with Personal Finance

The newest AP course, with the first exam in May 2027. If your student's school adds it, I've already mapped all 5 units and 31 topics and built 940 practice questions.

University

Corporate finance, before or during university

Many students here leave for universities in the US, the UK, and Canada. Corporate finance and financial statements before the first year make business and economics degrees much easier. It's the same material I teach college and MBA students.

Where students get stuck.

HL is a big step up

HL Business Management adds budgets and debt ratios, and HL Economics adds a policy paper with calculations. We get students comfortable with both early.

Exam English

Many students are strong at the math and lose marks on how they explain it. We practice short, precise written answers.

Planning for university

Students heading to business and economics programs abroad benefit from corporate finance before they arrive.

For parents

Parents usually book. Your student joins on Zoom from Riyadh, Jeddah, Dhahran, Al Khobar, or anywhere in the Kingdom. Sessions are scheduled in Arabia Standard Time, after school on weekdays or on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Send me the course and what's giving your student trouble, and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.

How a session works

Diagnosis first. Then the fix.

  1. 01

    Before we meet

    Send me what you're stuck on: a problem set, slides, your last midterm, a practice exam, last week's quiz.

  2. 02

    On Zoom

    You walk me through a problem out loud. It usually takes a few minutes to hear where the reasoning goes sideways. We fix that piece and rebuild from there, so you know why each step works.

  3. 03

    Before we finish

    The real test: a fresh problem with new numbers and different wording, the way a midterm would ask it, and you solve it yourself. I don't complete assignments or hand over answers. You leave able to do the work.

Questions

Before you book.

What time zone are sessions in?

Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3). Sessions run on weekday evenings after school, plus Saturdays and Sundays.

Do you work with students in Thuwal at KAUST?

Yes. Every session is on Zoom, so it doesn't matter which city or compound your student lives in.

What does a session cost in local currency?

Sessions are $250 an hour, billed in US dollars. At the fixed exchange rates that's about AED 918, SAR 938, or QAR 910.

Will tutoring get in the way of my student's teacher?

No. I work from the teacher's materials and never complete graded work, so sessions support the class instead of replacing it.

Is tutoring allowed under my school's honor code?

Tutoring on concepts and practice problems is generally fine, but policies on graded work vary by course. I don't complete graded assignments. Check your syllabus's collaboration policy, and if you're unsure, ask your professor.

Get started
