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.
Madrid has one of the largest British-school communities in Spain, with schools accredited through the National Association of British Schools in Spain (NABSS) across the city and its suburbs. Most follow the English National Curriculum and enter students for UK-domestic A-Levels, with some schools and sixth-form colleges on Cambridge or Edexcel International. Spanish and international families attend in roughly equal measure, and A-Level grades now convert directly into a Spanish university admission mark.
With tailored learning plans built around each school's syllabus and exam series, we help students across Madrid reach their full potential in the A-Level curriculum.
Schools we have supported in Madrid
So far, we have helped students achieve A*/A grades in their chosen subjects from the following schools in Madrid:
- King's College Madrid
- Runnymede College
- Hastings School
- Virtus College
- The Learn Academy
British schools: NABSS-accredited schools across Madrid run two-year sixth forms, usually on AQA, OCR or Edexcel UK, and typically alongside A-Level Spanish.
International schools: Some British schools in Madrid offer the IB Diploma alongside A-Levels. Families choosing between the two are usually weighing subject depth against breadth, and how each converts for Spanish university entry.
Spanish families: Spanish students in the British system who plan to apply to Spanish universities through UNEDasiss, often also sitting the PCE to raise their admission mark.
Private candidates: Students entering exams independently, including those studying online, retakers and students adding a subject their school doesn't offer.
A-Levels are the standard entry route to UK universities and are recognised worldwide. Since 2023, an agreement between the UK and Spain means A-Levels give access to Spanish universities on the same footing as a Spanish qualification: UNEDasiss converts A-Level grades into an admission mark out of 10, and students can add up to 4 points by sitting the PCE subject tests. One qualification keeps Spanish, UK and wider European options open.
- Direct UCAS route to UK universities
- Access to Spanish universities through UNEDasiss accreditation
- Admission mark can be raised with the PCE subject tests
- Three or four subjects in depth rather than the broad Bachillerato
Why students in Madrid choose us
Madrid has a large tutoring market, but it is built around the Bachillerato, the PAU and the PCE. Academies that prepare students for Spanish entrance tests rarely have tutors who have taught the A-Level specification a student actually sits, and the A-Level subject specialists who do exist are heavily booked. Families often end up with a tutor who knows the subject in Spanish terms but not the A-Level 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
British schools in Madrid mostly follow UK-domestic boards such as AQA, OCR and Edexcel UK, with some schools and sixth-form colleges on Cambridge or Edexcel International. The UK boards run one summer series a year, while the international boards run more than one, which matters for resits. For Spanish university entry, the PCE subject tests run in their own sessions, with the main sitting in May/June and a second in September. Your exact papers and dates depend on the board your school has chosen.
- UK boards (AQA, OCR, Edexcel UK) (most schools): A single May/June series with August results, one sitting a year, like schools in England.
- Cambridge and Edexcel International: 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.
Exam centres and private candidate registration
Most students in Madrid sit through their own British 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 Spain hosts Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel exams for private candidates, and a number of schools and exam centres, including specialist centres in Madrid, also accept external entries. 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 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 Cambridge and Edexcel International entries. Private candidates outside the UK generally sit the international specifications, so a student who studied a UK-board A-Level at school may need to switch board to resit independently. Confirm with the centre before you register.
- Registration deadlines: Entry deadlines close several months ahead of each series. Plan early, especially for resits, and allow for UNEDasiss and PCE deadlines if you are applying to Spanish universities.

FAQs
We have answers to your most frequently asked questions. Anything not answered here, please reach out to our team.
Yes. Madrid's British schools mostly sit UK-domestic boards, so GCSE is a common need here, and some schools use international specifications instead. We offer online GCSE tutoring and online IGCSE tutoring, each matched to the student's board. Both start from $50 USD (£38) per hour, and the first-session satisfaction guarantee applies. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $75 USD (£56) per hour.
Madrid students pay the same USD rates we charge everywhere: from $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 or more. Pay as you go is invoiced after each lesson, with no lock-in. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $85 USD (£64) per hour. View 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.
Yes. Madrid is on UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer. We record your child's availability and time zone on the application, and you are only matched with a tutor able to teach at times that suit, typically after school or at weekends.

Yes. The British Council in Spain hosts Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel exams for private candidates, and several Madrid schools and specialist centres take external entries. Private candidates abroad generally sit the international specifications, so a student who studied a UK-board A-Level may need to switch board to resit. Confirm with the centre first.

Most British schools in Madrid use UK-domestic boards: AQA, OCR and Pearson Edexcel. Some schools and sixth-form colleges use Cambridge International or Edexcel International instead. Because each board sets different papers, we match every Madrid student with a tutor who teaches their school's board, so revision and exam technique fit the specification they will sit.
Online, always. Lessons run one-to-one in our own virtual classroom. Madrid's tutoring market is built around the Bachillerato, the PAU and the PCE, and academies rarely have tutors who have taught the A-Level specification a student actually sits, while the specialists who exist are heavily booked.
