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
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.
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.

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

Petros's academic journey began at the University of Crete, Greece, where he pursued his passion for Applied Mathematics. He then earned a Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics from Imperial College London. It was in London that he naturally transitioned from academia to education—a decision he considers one of the best of his life.
His career in education has been both dynamic and fulfilling. From serving as a Lead Practitioner for A Level Mathematics in London schools to teaching the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, Petros has embraced the challenges of education while consistently delivering high-quality learning experiences to students from diverse backgrounds. He has also been an examiner of Edexcel/Pearson, Cambridge and IBDP for a number of years, consistently marking Further Maths, Pure/Mechanics abd IBDP papers. His teaching journey has taken him to breathtaking destinations such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and he now works in Cambodia, where he continues to foster intellectual curiosity among his students.
Beyond the classroom, Petros enjoys padel, running, hiking, traveling, and cooking for friends. He believes in maintaining a well-rounded lifestyle and lives by the motto “Mens sana in corpore sano”—"A healthy mind in a healthy body.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 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.
- Registration deadlines: Entry deadlines close several months ahead of each series, roughly the preceding autumn for the summer series. Plan early, especially for resits.
