London Education Centre KSA is a premium personalised tutoring institution that has been transforming academic journeys since 2008. With over 16 years of experience and a 98% success rate, LEC provides expert 1:1 and group tutoring for students across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and online throughout Saudi Arabia. We specialise in Mathematics and English across five major international curricula — Cambridge IGCSE, A-Levels, Edexcel, IB Diploma, and American — as well as Saudi entrance exam preparation for Qudrat (GAT), TAHSILI, SAT, and STEP.

LEC expanded into Saudi Arabia in 2024, bringing over 16 years of proven educational excellence from Qatar and the wider Gulf region. Our Saudi headquarters is in the Al Malqa district of Riyadh, with tutoring available in Jeddah, Dammam, and nationwide through our online platform.

LEC's difference lies in genuine personalisation. Every student begins with a free diagnostic assessment that identifies their exact strengths and learning gaps. From that, a bespoke learning plan is created — so tutoring is targeted from session one, not generic. Our tutors simplify difficult concepts using relatable, age- and culture-appropriate examples, provide regular structured feedback to parents, conduct mock exams, and offer mentoring and career guidance — all as part of one integrated service.

Since 2008, LEC has mentored over 50,000 students across the Gulf region, achieving a 98% success rate in international curriculum examinations. Our expansion to Saudi Arabia in 2024 brings that same proven model to families across the Kingdom.

Yes. LEC KSA is proud to align with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which prioritises building a knowledge-based economy and developing globally competitive Saudi graduates. Our programmes in international curricula, English proficiency, and entrance exam preparation directly serve these objectives — equipping Saudi students with the academic skills and qualifications needed for top universities and careers.

LEC was founded by Mansib Ibrahim in 2008 with a simple but powerful belief: every student deserves personalised education that unlocks their true potential. What began as one-on-one tutoring in Qatar has grown into a trusted educational institution across the Gulf, with the Saudi Arabia branch opening in 2024 to bring world-class international curriculum expertise to families in the Kingdom.

LEC KSA offers three learning modes to suit different needs and lifestyles:

1. 1:1 Home Tutoring — a dedicated tutor comes to your home at a schedule that fits your family.
2. At Centre Classes — structured sessions at our Riyadh centre, with options including Premium Batches (small-group sessions offering peer learning with close tutor attention).
3. Online Learning — live, interactive sessions via a digital platform, available to students anywhere in Saudi Arabia including Jeddah, Dammam, and beyond.

Yes. LEC KSA specifically accommodates requests for female tutors as part of our 1:1 home tutoring service. Please mention this preference when booking your free assessment and we will match your child with a qualified female tutor. Cultural sensitivity is a core part of how LEC operates in Saudi Arabia.

Premium Batches are structured, small-group sessions held at our Riyadh centre. They offer the collaborative dynamics of classroom learning — peer interaction, group discussion, and study discipline — while maintaining a small enough group size for meaningful individual tutor attention. They are a strong option for students who are motivated by learning alongside peers.

Yes. LEC's online sessions are live and interactive, delivered by the same expert tutors as in-person services, using advanced digital tools that support the same personalised approach. Students across Jeddah, Dammam, and cities outside Riyadh regularly choose online learning and achieve the same quality of results as centre-based students.

Very flexible. LEC tutors work around your family's schedule, including evenings and weekends. The frequency, duration, and timing of sessions are agreed at the start and can be adjusted as your needs change. Our goal is to remove any barrier that stands between your child and consistent, effective tutoring.

Getting started is simple and free. Book a Free Assessment at lec.edu.sa/book, or contact us directly:

• Call / WhatsApp: +966 5634 96737
• Email: info@lec.edu.sa

Our team will schedule a diagnostic session, identify your child's strengths and learning gaps, and present a personalised learning plan. There is no obligation to commit until you are completely satisfied.

The free diagnostic assessment evaluates your child's current academic level in Mathematics and/or English. It identifies specific strengths, knowledge gaps, and any foundational concepts that need reinforcing. Based on the results, LEC creates a targeted learning plan that ensures every tutoring session from the very first one is directly relevant and effective for your child.

Most families notice measurable improvement within 4 to 6 weeks of consistent sessions. The pace of progress depends on the student's starting point, session frequency, and effort between lessons. LEC tutors set clear milestones and provide regular feedback, so progress is always transparent and traceable.

LEC maintains a structured feedback loop between tutors and parents throughout the engagement. Tutors regularly report on academic progress, areas still requiring focus, and any recommended adjustments to the learning plan. Parents are also encouraged to share their own observations about their child's confidence, motivation, and engagement at home.

Yes. LEC is experienced in helping students who are significantly behind close their learning gaps efficiently. The diagnostic assessment pinpoints exactly which foundational concepts are missing, and the personalised learning plan rebuilds those foundations systematically before advancing to grade-level content. Many LEC students who started well below expected levels have gone on to achieve top examination results.

Yes. LEC tutors provide structured guidance on homework and school assignments as part of the tutoring relationship. Rather than simply providing answers, tutors clarify the requirements, explain the underlying concepts, and walk students through the reasoning — ensuring the student genuinely understands and retains the material.

Yes. Mock examinations are a core component of LEC's exam preparation. We run timed mock tests that replicate real exam conditions, provide past paper practice, and coach students on question-answering strategies and time management specific to each curriculum's exam format. Students arrive at their actual exams feeling confident and well-practised.
