A-Levels are a rigorous, globally recognised qualification that prepares students for university in the UK and beyond. Students typically take three or four subjects in depth over two years, completing AS content in the first year and full A2 papers in the second.
In Abu Dhabi, A-Levels are taught mainly through British-curriculum schools regulated by ADEK, from long-established schools like The British School Al Khubairat to UK-partnered schools such as Brighton College and Cranleigh. Boards vary by school: several leading British schools enter students for UK-domestic A-Levels, while others use Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel International. Emirati and Arab students also study the Arabic, Islamic and social studies the UAE requires. Our tutoring supports students at these schools, as well as those studying independently, to work through the demands of their specific exam board.
With tailored learning plans built around each school's syllabus and exam series, we help students across Abu Dhabi reach their full potential in the A-Level curriculum.
Schools we have supported in Abu Dhabi
So far, we have helped students achieve A*/A grades in their chosen subjects from the following schools in Abu Dhabi:
- The British School Al Khubairat
- Cranleigh Abu Dhabi
- Brighton College Abu Dhabi
- Al Yasmina Academy
British-curriculum schools: Abu Dhabi's British schools run full sixth forms, several offering BTEC alongside A-Levels, with some of the widest subject choices in the UAE.
International schools: Some schools offer the IB Diploma or an American programme instead, so families at 16 are often weighing A-Levels against the IB.
Emirati families: Emirati students at private British schools who want to keep UAE and overseas university options open, including those applying for government scholarships.
Private candidates: Students entering exams independently through the British Council in Abu Dhabi, including retakers, homeschoolers and students adding a subject.
A-Levels are the standard entry route to UK universities and are recognised for admission, and sometimes credit, in the US, Canada, Australia and across the Gulf. In Abu Dhabi, they are accepted by universities including NYU Abu Dhabi, Khalifa University, UAE University and Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, subject to the Ministry of Education's equivalency requirements for British-system certificates.
- Direct UCAS route to UK universities
- Accepted by NYU Abu Dhabi, Khalifa University and UAE University
- Accepted for US admissions, sometimes for advanced credit
- Three or four subjects in depth rather than a broad diploma
Why students in Abu Dhabi choose us
Abu Dhabi's British-school community is large, but its tutoring market is much smaller than Dubai's, and A-Level subject specialists are hard to find. Many of the strongest are full-time teachers with little spare capacity, and the mix of UK-domestic and international boards across the city means a tutor who knows one school's papers may not know another's. Families often end up choosing between a generalist tutor and no specialist support at all.

I tutor English at A level and IGCSE, across both Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel. One to one, built around what the mark scheme actually rewards rather than what students assume it does.Tell me where you are and where you want to be, and we'll work out how to get there.

I'm a Business, Economics and Accounting teacher with over six years' experience preparing students for A Level, IGCSE and O Level exams. I teach to the Cambridge (CIE) and Pearson Edexcel specifications, so lessons are built around what each mark scheme rewards: precise definitions, application to the case, and well-supported evaluation.
At A Level, I focus on the skills that lift grades: structuring extended essay answers, applying theory to case-study data, and handling calculation-heavy Accounting questions. At IGCSE and O Level, I build secure foundations so students go into their exams confident.
My lessons are interactive and exam-focused. We work through past papers, examiner reports and mark schemes, and I connect every concept to real business examples so it sticks. Students leave with better grades and the confidence to think analytically and apply their knowledge independently.

Which boards and exam sessions
British-curriculum schools in Abu Dhabi use a mix of boards. Several leading schools enter students for UK-domestic A-Levels, while others use Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel International, and OxfordAQA International is also available through the British Council. The international boards run more than one series a year, so students on those specifications can sit, or resit, without waiting a full year. Your exact papers and dates depend on the board your school has chosen.
- Cambridge and Edexcel International: Two exam series each year: May/June (results in August) and October/November (results in January). Edexcel International also offers a January sitting for some subjects.
- UK boards (AQA, OCR, Edexcel UK): Used by a number of British schools in Abu Dhabi, with a single May/June series and August results, one sitting a year, like schools in England.
Exam centres and private candidate registration
Most students in Abu Dhabi sit through their own school. Those studying independently, resitting after leaving school, or taking a subject their school doesn't offer can register as private candidates at an approved exam centre. The British Council in Abu Dhabi runs Cambridge International, Pearson Edexcel and OxfordAQA exams for private candidates, and some schools also accept external entries. Registration deadlines fall several months before each series, and exam fees are paid to the centre, not to us.
-
- Through your school: Students at a British-curriculum school are entered automatically by the school. Nothing to arrange.
- As a private candidate at a local centre: The British Council in Abu Dhabi is the main route for private candidates, alongside schools that take external entries. Which centres accept which boards and subjects varies, so confirm locally before you register.
- Registration deadlines: Entry deadlines close several months ahead of each series. Plan early, especially for resits.

We tutor A-Level students in over 50 countries. Every page covers the boards students follow locally and where they sit their exams.

Late cancellations and no-shows are charged at half the lesson fee. That applies if you cancel less than one hour before the start time, or don't turn up. You can still change a session time whenever you need to, as long as you give your tutor notice.
Yes. Abu Dhabi is on UTC+4. We note your availability and time zone when you apply, and you are only matched with a tutor who can teach at times that suit your family, such as after school or at weekends.

It depends on your school's board. Students on UK boards such as AQA, OCR and Pearson Edexcel sit once a year in May/June, with results in August. Cambridge International runs May/June and October/November series, and Edexcel International adds a January sitting for some subjects. Confirm exact entry deadlines with your school or centre, especially if you are planning resits.
Abu Dhabi's British schools use a mix of boards. Several enter students for UK-domestic A-Levels with AQA, OCR or Pearson Edexcel, while others use Cambridge International or Edexcel International. OxfordAQA International is also available through the British Council. Because papers differ between boards, we match each student with a tutor who teaches their school's board.
Our lessons are online only, held in our own virtual classroom. In Abu Dhabi that widens the choice considerably: the tutoring market is much smaller than Dubai's, and the strongest A-Level specialists are often full-time teachers with little spare time. Online, we can find a tutor who knows your school's exact board rather than settling for a generalist. Parents can join any lesson. See how it works.
Yes. Abu Dhabi students can have one-to-one online A-Level tutoring with Top A-Level Tutors, matched to their subject, exam board and target grade.
