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 Ho Chi Minh City, Cambridge International A-Levels are taught at international, private and state schools, and Cambridge is the most widely recognised international qualification for Vietnamese students entering university. Bilingual British schools across the city run A-Level sixth forms, and a number of public high schools have added A-Levels alongside the Vietnamese diploma through double-qualification programmes. 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 Ho Chi Minh City reach their full potential in the A-Level curriculum.
Schools we have supported in Ho Chi Minh City
So far, we have helped students achieve A*/A grades in their chosen subjects from the following schools in Ho Chi Minh City:
- British Vietnamese International School Ho Chi Minh City
- ABC International School
- Vietnam Australia International School
International and bilingual schools: Schools across Ho Chi Minh City teaching the English National Curriculum through IGCSE to A-Level, many combining it with Vietnamese literature, history and geography.
Double-qualification students: Students at public and private high schools taking A-Levels alongside the Vietnamese diploma, usually with a heavy combined workload.
Students applying abroad: Vietnamese families aiming for the UK, Australia, Singapore or the US, often studying demanding subjects in English as a second language.
Private candidates: Students entering exams independently through the British Council in Ho Chi Minh City, including retakers and students adding a subject.
A-Levels are the standard entry route to UK universities and are recognised for admission in Australia, Singapore, the US and across Asia. In Vietnam, Cambridge International A-Levels are recognised for admission by universities including Vietnam National University Hanoi, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, RMIT University Vietnam, British University Vietnam and FPT University, so one qualification keeps local and overseas options open.
- Direct UCAS route to UK universities
- Recognised by Vietnamese universities including VNU Hanoi, RMIT Vietnam and BUV
- Widely accepted for Australian and Singapore admissions
- Three or four subjects in depth rather than a broad diploma
Why students in Ho Chi Minh City choose us
Ho Chi Minh City's tutoring market is built around the national high school graduation exam, and most tutors teach in Vietnamese to the national curriculum. A-Level specialists who can teach sciences, maths and economics in English to the Cambridge specification are scarce, and double-qualification students in particular need help managing two very different sets of exams. Families often end up with a tutor who knows the subject but not the A-Level papers.

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

Sitting your A-Level exams in Ho Chi Minh City
Which exam boards students in Ho Chi Minh City follow, when the exam series run, and how private candidates register.
Which boards and exam sessions
A-Level schools in Ho Chi Minh City mostly follow Cambridge International, with Pearson Edexcel International at some schools and OxfordAQA International available through the British Council. Because the international boards run more than one series a year, students can sit, or resit, without waiting a full year. Your exact papers and dates depend on the board your school has chosen.
- Cambridge International (most schools): 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.
Exam centres and private candidate registration
Most students in Ho Chi Minh City 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. The British Council in Vietnam runs Cambridge International, Pearson Edexcel and OxfordAQA exams for private candidates in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. 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 is the main route for private candidates. 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.
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
