Studying A-Levels in Dubai

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, sitting AS content at the end of Year 12 and full A2 papers at the end of Year 13.

In Dubai, A-Levels are taught mainly through British-curriculum schools registered with the KHDA, most following the Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel International specifications rather than the UK-domestic boards. 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 Dubai reach their full potential in the A-Level curriculum.

‍

Schools we have supported in Dubai

So far, we have helped students achieve A*/A grades in their chosen subjects from the following schools in Dubai:

  • Dubai College
  • JESS Arabian Ranches
  • JESS Jumeirah
  • Kings' School Al Barsha
  • GEMS Wellington International School
  • Repton Dubai
  • Dubai English Speaking School
  • Dubai British School
Who this page is for

British-curriculum schools: Dubai has more than 30 British-curriculum schools, from single-campus independents like Dubai College and JESS to networks such as GEMS and Taaleem. Most teach Cambridge International or Edexcel International, with a minority on AQA or OCR.

International schools: Some schools, including JESS and GEMS Wellington, offer the IB Diploma alongside A-Levels. Families choosing between the two are usually weighing subject depth against breadth, and how each is viewed by the universities their child is targeting.

Homeschooling families: Families teaching at home, often while a school place is being sorted or between international moves, who need subject specialists they can't always find locally.

Private candidates: Students entering exams independently through the British Council in Dubai, including retakers, board-switchers and adult learners.

Why families in Dubai choose A-Levels

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 Europe. In the UAE, they are also accepted directly by universities such as the American University of Sharjah, University of Dubai and Heriot-Watt University Dubai, making them a flexible choice for families who haven't decided where their child will study.

  • Direct UCAS route to UK universities
  • Accepted directly by UAE universities including American University of Sharjah and Heriot-Watt Dubai
  • Accepted for US admissions, sometimes for advanced credit
  • Three or four subjects in depth rather than a broad diploma

Why students in Dubai choose us

Dubai has more British-curriculum schools than almost anywhere else in the world, but subject-specialist A-Level tutors are still hard to find locally. Many tutoring agencies in the city cover GCSE and IGCSE well but have a thin bench for A-Level sciences, maths and humanities, and few tutors have taught the Cambridge or Edexcel International specifications most Dubai schools actually use. Families often end up choosing between a generalist tutor nearby or going without specialist support altogether.

Over the last twenty years I have gained significant classroom and management experience at several State, Grammar and Independent Schools. I have been out of the classroom environment recently but continue to keep up to date with Education Policy and support students away from the school environment via home tutoring.

I am an experienced teacher with a passion towards my subject and have a great desire that all pupils across the ability range are inspired by Science; there is no greater job satisfaction for me than when that inspiration leads to students excelling in examinations or pursuing a career in medicine. As Head of Biology at Kingston Grammar School I managed a team of four experienced teachers- as well as being actively involved in the overall management of the Science department.

I was successful in improving both A-Level and GCSE results year on year. I was responsible for co-ordinating Community Service placements for students in the wider community. I also worked closely with Brunel University with their PGCE programme and was part of a team inspected by OFSTED and I was awarded as ‘outstanding’ in my mentoring work with PGCE students at Kingston Grammar.

Whilst my teaching specialism is Biology I have also taught Chemistry and Physics at key stage three, four and A Level. I have a broad knowledge of the science curriculum and how it fits in to schools academic policies and wider educational policies. I also have a good understanding of International Baccalaureate programs and Vocational courses. I have written schemes of work and working policies for a department as well as full risk assessments for practical work. I also have experience of intake of student new to a school be it a state school or an 11+ or Common Entrance at 13+. I have administered 11+ and 13+ examinations as well as being part of a team of interviewers assessing a student’s suitability for the school.

Teaching provides a unique opportunity to shape lives and influence young people towards a responsible future, hence, my passion for teaching. As one with a passion for Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, I understand that many students face real challenges grasping the concepts of the subjects. Hence, teaching provides me the avenue to tackle this, while also making a contribution; giving back to the society and also challenging myself towards further growth and development. I have taught since my secondary school days; taking more than 800 students in total; at various levels (on a one-on-one basis, in groups and at mass teaching levels). I have also taught at various educational levels (secondary and tertiary) as well as to a diverse range of student ethnic backgrounds with a very high success rate in student comprehension evinced by their later performance. Having gained significant experience teaching this subject, I have a very broad understanding of what is expected of students writing the GCSEs and A-level exams. I have also prepared students for varying exams including the – 11+, 13+, 16+, and curricula - GCSE and A-levels (Edexcel, OCR, AQA), IB (SL and HL) and Scottish National with excellent results from students - most of my students achieving grades 8 and 9. My teaching success rate has been largely due to my deep and vast understanding of the subject matter, coupled with my calm, interesting and engaging manner of communication that makes even an average and uninterested student develop a desire for Maths and Science. I use diverse teaching-aids, web-resources etc. as necessary."

I hold a First Class honours degree in Chemical Engineering and a Masters degree in Advanced Chemical Engineering from the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine. I am also a UK Qualified Teacher with more than 4000 hours teaching/tutoring experience over a period of 15+ years. This has provided me with diverse experience necessary for tutoring different students' backgrounds with evident successes in the exams. I am hoping to be of help and assistance to any student in need.

Sitting your A-Level exams in Dubai

Which exam boards students in Dubai follow, when the exam series run, and how private candidates register.

Which boards and exam sessions

British-curriculum schools in Dubai mostly follow Cambridge International (CIE) and Edexcel International, with a minority on UK-domestic AQA or OCR. Because the international boards run two exam series a year, students here can sit, or resit, in either the summer or autumn series, rather than waiting a full year for one UK sitting. Your exact papers and dates depend on the board your school has chosen.

‍

  1. Cambridge and Edexcel International (most schools): 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.
  2. UK boards (AQA, OCR, Edexcel UK): A minority of Dubai schools use UK-domestic boards, which run a single May/June series with August results, one sitting a year, like schools in England.

Exam centres and private candidate registration

Most students in Dubai sit through their own British-curriculum 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 runs Dubai sittings for both IGCSE and A-Level, alongside centres in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, and a number of schools also register external candidates. Registration deadlines fall several months before each series, and exam fees are paid to the centre, not to us.

‍

  1. Through your school: Students at a British-curriculum school are entered automatically by the school. Nothing to arrange.
  2. As a private candidate at a local centre: The British Council in Dubai is the main route for private candidates, alongside school-based centres such as Dubai Carmel School, Dubai Scholars Private School and Horizon International School. Which centres accept which boards varies, so confirm locally before you register.
  3. Registration deadlines: Entry deadlines close several months ahead of each series, roughly the preceding autumn for the summer series. Plan early, especially for resits.

Where else we teach

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

FAQs

We have answers to your most frequently asked questions. Anything not answered here, please reach out to our team.

Do you also offer GCSE and IGCSE tutoring in Dubai?

Yes. With most Dubai schools on Cambridge or Edexcel International, IGCSE tutoring is the more common request, but a minority of schools use UK boards, and we offer GCSE tutoring for their students too. Lessons start from $50 USD (£38) per hour, with tutors matched to the exact board so students can carry on smoothly into A-Level. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $75 USD (£56) per hour.

How much does A-Level tutoring cost in Dubai?

There is one global price list, in US dollars. For a student in Dubai, A-Level and AS tutoring with an academic tutor starts at $60 USD (£45) per hour. Packages save 5% on 10 to 20 hours, 10% on 21 to 30, 12.5% on 31 to 50 and 15% on 51 hours or more. Or pay as you go, invoiced after each lesson. You are never tied into a contract. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $85 USD (£64) per hour. See full pricing.

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.

Can tutors teach in Dubai's time zone?

Yes. Dubai is on Gulf Standard Time, UTC+4, with no daylight saving. When you apply we take note of your availability and time zone, and a Learning Advisor only matches you with a tutor who can teach at times that suit you, after school or at weekends, for example. Apply now to get started.

Can I sit A-Levels as a private candidate in Dubai?

Yes. The British Council in Dubai is the main route for private candidates, alongside school-based centres such as Dubai Carmel School, Dubai Scholars Private School and Horizon International School. Which centres accept which boards varies, so confirm locally. Entry deadlines close several months ahead, roughly the preceding autumn for the summer series, and fees go to the centre. See A-Level resits and retakes.

When do students in Dubai sit their A-Level exams?

Most Dubai students on Cambridge or Edexcel International sit in May/June, with results in August, or October/November, with results in January. Edexcel International also offers a January sitting for some subjects. Schools on UK boards have a single May/June series with August results. Confirm entry deadlines with your school or centre. Our Cambridge page explains the series.

Which exam boards do A-Level students in Dubai follow?

Most British-curriculum schools in Dubai follow Cambridge International or Edexcel International, with a minority on UK-domestic AQA or OCR. Each student is matched with a tutor who knows their board, so lessons cover the right specification, paper structure and mark schemes rather than generic content.

Is A-Level tutoring in Dubai online or in person?

Online only, in our own virtual classroom. Dubai has more British-curriculum schools than almost anywhere, yet subject-specialist A-Level tutors are still hard to find, and many agencies have a thin bench for A-Level sciences, maths and humanities. Few local tutors have taught the Cambridge or Edexcel International specifications most schools use. Parents can join any lesson without notice. Read about how we select tutors.

Do you offer A-Level tutoring in Dubai?

Yes. Top A-Level Tutors works with A-Level students across Dubai, one to one and online, with tutors matched to subject, exam board and target grade. That includes students at British-curriculum schools from Dubai College and JESS to GEMS and Taaleem, families choosing between A-Levels and the IB, homeschoolers and private candidates.
