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 Hong Kong, A-Levels sit alongside the local HKDSE and the IB. They are taught at British international schools, at a number of local and private schools that run an A-Level stream, and at tutorial colleges that prepare students to sit as private candidates. Boards vary more here than in most cities: British international schools often follow UK-domestic specifications, while local schools and private candidates lean heavily on Pearson Edexcel International and Cambridge International. Our tutoring is matched to the board each student actually sits.
With tailored learning plans built around each student's syllabus and exam series, we help students across Hong Kong reach their full potential in the A-Level curriculum.
Schools we have supported in Hong Kong
So far, we have helped students achieve A*/A grades in their chosen subjects from the following schools in Hong Kong:
- Kellett School
- Harrow International School Hong Kong
- St Paul's Convent School
- YMCA of Hong Kong Christian College
- Discovery Bay International School
British international schools: Schools such as Kellett and Harrow Hong Kong run full A-Level sixth forms, typically on UK boards with a single summer series. Many other English-medium schools in the city, including the ESF schools, move to the IB after GCSE, so families often weigh A-Levels against the IB at 16.
Local school students: Students at local schools with an A-Level stream, and HKDSE students who switch to or add International A-Levels to strengthen overseas university applications.
Relocating families: Families moving between Hong Kong, the UK and elsewhere who need continuity on a specific board part-way through the course.
Private candidates: Students entering exams independently through the British Council in Hong Kong or a Pearson-approved centre, including retakers, DSE switchers and students self-studying an extra subject.
A-Levels are the standard entry route to UK universities and are recognised for admission in the US, Canada, Australia and across Asia. In Hong Kong, local universities accept A-Level applicants through the non-JUPAS route, so a strong set of A-Level grades keeps both local and overseas options open.
- Direct UCAS route to UK universities
- Accepted by Hong Kong universities through non-JUPAS admission
- Recognised for US, Canadian and Australian admissions
Why students in Hong Kong choose us
Hong Kong has no shortage of tutoring centres, but most are built around the HKDSE. A-Level support tends to be either large-group exam classes or generalist tutors who have never taught the specific board a student sits, and the split between UK-domestic boards at international schools and Edexcel or Cambridge International elsewhere makes that mismatch common. Families often end up with a tutor who knows the subject but not the papers.

I tutor English at A level and IGCSE, across both Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel. One to one, built around what the mark scheme actually rewards rather than what students assume it does.Tell me where you are and where you want to be, and we'll work out how to get there.

I'm a Business, Economics and Accounting teacher with over six years' experience preparing students for A Level, IGCSE and O Level exams. I teach to the Cambridge (CIE) and Pearson Edexcel specifications, so lessons are built around what each mark scheme rewards: precise definitions, application to the case, and well-supported evaluation.
At A Level, I focus on the skills that lift grades: structuring extended essay answers, applying theory to case-study data, and handling calculation-heavy Accounting questions. At IGCSE and O Level, I build secure foundations so students go into their exams confident.
My lessons are interactive and exam-focused. We work through past papers, examiner reports and mark schemes, and I connect every concept to real business examples so it sticks. Students leave with better grades and the confidence to think analytically and apply their knowledge independently.

Which boards and exam sessions
A-Level students in Hong Kong sit a wider spread of boards than in most cities. British international schools often use UK-domestic boards such as AQA, OCR and Edexcel UK, while local schools with an A-Level stream, tutorial colleges and private candidates mostly sit Pearson Edexcel International or Cambridge International. The international boards run more than one series a year, so students on those specifications can sit or resit without waiting a full year. Your exact papers and dates depend on the board your school has chosen.
- Edexcel and Cambridge International (local schools and private candidates): Cambridge International runs May/June (results in August) and October/November (results in January) series. Edexcel International runs January, May/June and October/November series, and its modular structure lets students bank units across sittings.
- UK boards (AQA, OCR, Edexcel UK): Used by several British international schools, with a single May/June series and August results, one sitting a year, like schools in England.
Exam centres and private candidate registration
Most A-Level students in Hong Kong are entered by their own school. Those studying independently, resitting after leaving school, switching from the HKDSE or taking a subject their school doesn't offer can register as private candidates at an approved exam centre. The British Council in Hong Kong is the main route for private candidates and runs both Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel school exams, and a number of Pearson-approved schools and tutorial colleges also run Edexcel sittings. 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 school that offers A-Levels are entered by the school. Nothing to arrange.
- As a private candidate at a local centre: The British Council in Admiralty handles Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel entries, and Pearson-approved centres such as ITS Tutorial School also run Edexcel sittings. 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 or if you are sitting A-Levels alongside the HKDSE.

FAQs
We have answers to your most frequently asked questions. Anything not answered here, please reach out to our team.
Yes. Students at Hong Kong's British international schools typically take GCSEs before choosing between A-Levels and the IB, so GCSE tutoring is common here, and we also offer IGCSE tutoring for students on international specifications. Both start from $50 USD (£38) per hour, taught one-to-one online with a tutor matched to the student's exam board. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $75 USD (£56) per hour.
Hong Kong families pay our standard worldwide rates in US dollars, starting at $60 USD (£45) per hour for A-Level and AS with an academic tutor. Package discounts are 5% for 10 to 20 hours, 10% for 21 to 30, 12.5% for 31 to 50 and 15% for 51 hours or more. Alternatively, pay as you go, invoiced after each lesson. No lock-in contracts apply. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $85 USD (£64) per hour. Details are on our pricing page.
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.
Yes. Hong Kong Time is UTC+8, with no daylight saving. Your availability and time zone are recorded at application, and you are only matched with a tutor who can teach at times that suit you, for example after school or at weekends, and around HKDSE commitments if you have them. See how matching works.
Yes. The British Council in Admiralty is the main route for private candidates in Hong Kong, handling both Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel entries, and Pearson-approved centres such as ITS Tutorial School also run Edexcel sittings. That suits retakers, DSE switchers and students self-studying a subject. Deadlines close months ahead and fees go to the centre. Our resits and retakes tutoring can help.
Students at British international schools on UK boards sit once a year, in May/June, with results in August. Cambridge International runs May/June and October/November series, and Edexcel International runs January, May/June and October/November, with a modular structure that lets students bank units across sittings. Confirm entry deadlines with your school or centre, especially if you are sitting A-Levels alongside the HKDSE. Resit support is available.
Hong Kong has a wider spread of boards than most cities. British international schools often use UK boards such as AQA, OCR and Pearson Edexcel, while local schools, tutorial colleges and private candidates mostly sit Edexcel International or Cambridge International. Tutors are matched to the exact board the student sits.
Online only, through our own virtual classroom. Hong Kong has plenty of tutoring centres, but most are built around the HKDSE, and A-Level help often means large-group classes or generalist tutors who have never taught the student's board. With students split between UK and international boards, online lessons let us match a board specialist every time. Parents can join any lesson without notice.
Yes. Hong Kong students can book one-to-one online A-Level tutoring matched to their subject, exam board and target grade. We teach sixth formers at British international schools, local school students in an A-Level stream, HKDSE students switching to or adding International A-Levels, relocating families who need continuity on a board, and private candidates. Submit an application and a Learning Advisor reviews it the same day.
