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 Cairo, A-Levels are part of the British system offered by international and language schools across the city, from long-established schools in Heliopolis, Maadi and Zamalek to newer campuses in New Cairo and Sheikh Zayed. Students usually complete IGCSEs or O Levels first, then add AS and A-Level subjects, and the whole set counts towards the certificate equivalency used for Egyptian university admission. Most schools follow Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel International, with some on OxfordAQA International. Our tutoring supports students at these schools and those sitting as private candidates, with plans built around both the exam board and the subjects a student needs.
With tailored learning plans built around each school's syllabus and exam series, we help students across Cairo reach their full potential in the A-Level curriculum.
Schools we have supported in Cairo
So far, we have helped students achieve A*/A grades in their chosen subjects from the following schools in Cairo:
- Cairo English School
- Malvern College Egypt
- New Cairo British International School
- El Alsson British International School
- British Ramses School
- Manchester International School
British-system schools: Cairo has a large number of schools offering IGCSE and A-Level, from long-established schools in the city to newer campuses in New Cairo and Sheikh Zayed, most on Cambridge or Edexcel International.
Students building their equivalency: Students planning which IGCSE, AS and A-Level subjects to sit so they meet the eight-subject equivalency rule and the subject requirements for faculties such as medicine and engineering.
Families planning to study abroad: Families aiming at UK, European or North American universities who need grades and subject depth that stand up internationally.
Private candidates: Students entering exams independently through the British Council in Cairo, including homeschoolers, retakers and students adding a subject to complete their equivalency.
A-Levels are the standard entry route to UK universities and are recognised for admission worldwide. In Egypt, British-system certificates are converted by the equivalency committee into a score used for public university admission, and they are accepted by private and international universities including the American University in Cairo, the British University in Egypt and the German University in Cairo. That gives families one qualification that works for both local and overseas applications.
- Direct UCAS route to UK universities
- Counted towards Egyptian certificate equivalency for public university admission
- Accepted by AUC, the British University in Egypt and the German University in Cairo
- AS and A-Level subjects both count, giving flexibility in how students build their subject set
Why students in Cairo choose us
Cairo has a very large private tutoring market, but much of it runs through crowded group centres focused on drilling past papers at IGCSE level. Specialist A-Level tutors, particularly for the sciences and maths that medicine and engineering faculties require, are much harder to find, and few can also advise on how AS and A-Level choices affect a student's equivalency. Families often end up choosing between a crowded group class and going without specialist support altogether.

I am Mr. Majid S, Chemistry Teacher at the German International School Beirut, with 30 years of experience teaching Chemistry at the secondary level (Grades 10, 11 and 12). I have a great passion for Chemistry and for helping students develop strong scientific understanding, problem-solving skills, and confidence.
I teach and support students preparing for GCSE, IGCSE and A-Level Chemistry, with particular emphasis on developing the knowledge, analytical skills, mathematical techniques, and examination strategies required for success. I also have two years of direct experience teaching A-Level students.
My extensive experience teaching international Chemistry curricula has given me a strong understanding of the level and style of questions students encounter in external examinations. A-Level and IB Chemistry share considerable common ground in both content and problem-solving skills, and throughout my teaching I regularly use carefully selected questions and problems from previous A-Level examinations because of their relevance, quality, and similarity to the skills required in other rigorous international Chemistry programmes.
This experience allows me to help A-Level students not only understand Chemistry but also learn how to approach examination questions effectively. I can support students with challenging calculations, structured questions, data analysis, practical and experimental concepts, interpretation of graphs and results, organic reaction pathways, and the application of chemical principles to unfamiliar situations.
I am also passionate about computer programming and the use of technology in education, and I integrate technology and interactive resources into my teaching whenever they can make difficult concepts clearer and learning more engaging.
My approach is based on identifying each student's difficulties, strengthening any weak foundations, and then progressively developing the skills needed to tackle more demanding examination questions with confidence. Past-paper practice is an important part of this process, helping students become familiar with question styles, command words, time management, and the level of precision expected in their answers.
Whether a student needs help understanding a particular topic, strengthening calculation and problem-solving skills, revising the full course, or preparing intensively for upcoming GCSE, IGCSE or A-Level examinations, I am ready to provide structured and personalised support.
I strongly believe that Chemistry can be both understandable and enjoyable. When concepts are taught clearly and students are shown how ideas connect, their confidence increases, their examination performance improves, and they begin to appreciate Chemistry as a fascinating scientific discipline.
I look forward to helping GCSE, IGCSE and A-Level Chemistry students develop their knowledge, improve their examination technique, and work towards achieving their full potential through engaging and interactive learning sessions.

Mahesh B is an experienced A Level Physics educator and International Examiner with over a decade of full-time teaching experience. He has taught students from different countries and academic backgrounds, helping them develop a strong understanding of Physics while preparing them systematically for their examinations.
Mahesh teaches Cambridge International (CAIE) A Level Physics and Pearson Edexcel International A Level Physics. His experience with both examination boards allows him to understand the differences in syllabus structure, question styles, assessment requirements and examination expectations. He adapts his lessons according to the student's specific specification rather than using the same approach for every exam board.
Alongside teaching, Mahesh works as a Cambridge International A Level Physics Examiner and Pearson Edexcel A Level Physics Examiner. His examining experience gives him first-hand exposure to mark schemes, assessment criteria and student responses. Having assessed examination answers, he has developed a clear understanding of the areas where students commonly lose marks and the level of explanation, working and reasoning expected in different types of questions.
He brings this examiner experience directly into his tutoring. Students learn not only how to arrive at the correct answer but also how to approach an examination question, show their working clearly, explain their reasoning, use appropriate units and present answers in a way that addresses the requirements of the question.
His teaching approach is centred on understanding Physics rather than memorising formulas. He breaks down difficult concepts into simpler ideas and then helps students apply those concepts through numerical problems, diagrams, real-world examples and exam-style questions. Particular attention is given to topics that students find challenging and to developing the mathematical and analytical skills required for A Level Physics.
A significant part of his teaching involves past-paper practice and examination preparation. Rather than simply working through large numbers of questions, Mahesh encourages students to understand why a particular approach works, identify patterns in questions, recognise common errors and learn from their mistakes. This helps students become more confident when they encounter unfamiliar problems in examinations.
Mahesh also provides individualised one-to-one online tutoring to students worldwide. He has worked with students from diverse educational backgrounds and adapts the pace, depth and teaching style according to each student's needs. Whether a student is struggling with fundamental concepts, looking to improve their examination technique or preparing for high grades, lessons are structured around their individual areas of difficulty.
In addition to teaching, Mahesh has worked as a Physics content developer with Revision Village and Pamoja, contributing to the development of educational and learning resources. This experience has strengthened his ability to explain Physics clearly and create structured, student-friendly learning material.
His online lessons are interactive and highly visual, making use of digital writing, simulations, animations, illustrations and real-world applications wherever they help students understand a concept more effectively. He aims to create an environment where students can ask questions freely, work through problems step by step and develop confidence in their own ability to solve Physics problems.
With his combination of 10+ years of teaching experience, CAIE and Pearson Edexcel examining experience, international tutoring experience and educational content-development work, Mahesh brings both subject expertise and an examiner's perspective to A Level Physics tutoring.
His ultimate aim is to help students understand Physics deeply, approach challenging problems with confidence and develop the examination skills needed to demonstrate their knowledge effectively.

Which boards and exam sessions
British-system schools in Cairo mostly follow Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel International, with some on OxfordAQA International. The international boards run more than one series a year, so students can sit, or resit, without waiting a full year, which matters when an equivalency deadline is approaching. Your exact papers and dates depend on the board your school has chosen.
- Cambridge International: Two exam series each year: May/June (results in August) and October/November (results in January).
- Edexcel and OxfordAQA International: Edexcel International runs January, May/June and October/November series, and OxfordAQA International runs January and May/June series. Both are modular, so students can spread units across sittings.
Exam centres and private candidate registration
In Cairo, as across Egypt, the British Council administers school exams on behalf of Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel and OxfordAQA, and most students sit through their own school. Those studying independently, resitting after leaving school, or adding a subject to complete their equivalency can register as private candidates through the British Council. 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-system school are entered by the school. Nothing to arrange.
- As a private candidate: Register through the British Council in Egypt, which handles private entries for all three international boards. Keep every statement of results, as you will need them for your equivalency file.
- Registration deadlines: Entry deadlines close several months ahead of each series. Plan early, especially for resits or if you are completing subjects ahead of university applications.
