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’m Saad A, a passionate and purpose-driven Physics educator with over a decade of experience teaching and tutoring students across the globe. My journey in education has been defined by a deep commitment to student success, both in academic achievement and in developing a genuine love for learning.
Currently, I teach A Levels and GCSE Physics, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with learners from varied backgrounds—online and in some of the finest international schools. My teaching philosophy centers on making Physics relatable, inquiry-driven, and enjoyable. I’ve consistently transformed student performance, helping many learners move from average scores to top-tier grades. More meaningfully, I’ve often been told, and proudly so, that I’m “the teacher who makes students fall in love with Physics.”
This recognition isn't just flattering; it's a reflection of my core belief that learning should be inspiring and empowering. Whether I’m simplifying tough topics in the classroom or facilitating interdisciplinary projects, I strive to create a classroom environment where curiosity leads, mistakes are embraced, and growth is inevitable.
I’ve mentored student teams to success in global competitions, integrated cutting-edge tech tools to enhance understanding, and led initiatives that connect science with real-world problem-solving. From hosting school events with infectious energy to designing assessments that promote self-reflection, I bring creativity, structure, and care into every aspect of my teaching.
To me, education is more than a profession, it’s my passion and my platform to spark change, one student at a time

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.

FAQs
We have answers to your most frequently asked questions. Anything not answered here, please reach out to our team.
Yes. In Cairo, British-system students almost always take IGCSE, and those grades count towards the equivalency, so IGCSE tutoring is by far the more common request.
