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 and around Manama, A-Levels are taught at a small group of well-established British schools, several of which also offer the IB Diploma and BTEC in the sixth form. Schools such as St Christopher's and The British School of Bahrain have long sent students to leading UK universities, and serve both Bahraini and expatriate families. 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 Manama reach their full potential in the A-Level curriculum.
Schools we have supported in Manama
So far, we have helped students achieve A*/A grades in their chosen subjects from the following schools in and around Manama:
- St Christopher's School
- The British School of Bahrain
- Nadeen School
British-curriculum schools: Manama's British schools are spread across the surrounding areas, particularly Isa Town, Hamala and Saar, most running IGCSE through to A-Level.
International schools: Several schools offer the IB Diploma alongside or instead of A-Levels, and some let students combine A-Levels with BTEC. Families at 16 are often weighing subject depth against breadth.
Bahraini families: Bahraini students at private British schools aiming for UK and international universities, including those competing for government scholarship programmes.
Private candidates: Students entering exams independently through the British Council in Bahrain, including retakers and students adding a subject.
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 the Gulf. In Bahrain, they are accepted by local institutions including the University of Bahrain and RCSI Bahrain, subject to the Ministry of Education's equivalency process, so one set of grades keeps local and overseas options open.
- Direct UCAS route to UK universities
- Accepted by the University of Bahrain and RCSI Bahrain
- Recognised for US admissions and across the GCC
- Three or four subjects in depth rather than a broad diploma
Why students in Manama choose us
Manama's A-Level community is small and concentrated in a handful of schools, which makes specialist tutors genuinely scarce. The few A-Level specialists on the island are usually full-time school teachers, and students taking less common subjects or Further Mathematics can struggle to find anyone local who has taught their board. Families often end up 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.

I have taught IGCSE in the past and have extensive experience tutoring IGCSE and A-Level Mathematics and Physics, particularly with Cambridge International (CIE) and Pearson Edexcel. I help students strengthen their understanding of difficult concepts while also focusing heavily on exam technique, past-paper practice, mark schemes, and the way questions are structured. As an experienced international school teacher and examiner, I understand the importance of showing clear working and giving the precise answers examiners are looking for. I adapt my lessons to each student, whether they need help catching up, improving their grades, or preparing intensively for their final examinations.

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.

Which boards and exam sessions
A-Level schools in Manama use a mix of boards, with some on UK-domestic specifications and others on Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel 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.
- 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.
- UK boards (AQA, OCR, Edexcel UK): Used by a number of British schools in and around Manama, with a single May/June series and August results, one sitting a year, like schools in England.
Exam centres and private candidate registration
Most students in Manama 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 through the British Council in Bahrain. 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: Register with the British Council in Bahrain for Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel exams. Which subjects are available to private candidates varies by series, so confirm before you register.
- Registration deadlines: Entry deadlines close several months ahead of each series. Plan early, especially for resits.

FAQs
We have answers to your most frequently asked questions. Anything not answered here, please reach out to our team.
Yes. Most British-curriculum schools in Manama run IGCSE through to A-Level, so IGCSE tutoring is what most local families need. For students at schools following UK specifications, we also offer GCSE tutoring. Both start from $50 USD (£38) per hour, taught one-to-one online by a tutor who knows the student's exam board. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $75 USD (£56) per hour.
A-Level and AS tutoring for Manama students costs from $60 USD (£45) per hour with an academic tutor, the same US dollar rate we charge everywhere. If you prefer to buy hours upfront, packages save 5% (10 to 20 hours), 10% (21 to 30), 12.5% (31 to 50) or 15% (51 or more). Pay-as-you-go lessons are invoiced after each one, and nothing locks you into a contract. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $85 USD (£64) per hour. Compare the options.
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. Manama runs on Arabia Standard Time, UTC+3, and Bahrain does not use daylight saving. Your availability and time zone are recorded when you apply, and we only match you with a tutor who can teach at times that suit you, for example after school or at weekends. Learn how matching works.
Yes. Private candidates in Manama register through the British Council in Bahrain for Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel exams, which suits students studying independently, resitting after leaving school or taking a subject their school doesn't offer. Which subjects are open to private candidates varies by series, so check before registering. Deadlines close several months ahead and fees go to the centre. Our resit tutoring can help you prepare.
It depends on the board. Students on UK boards such as AQA, OCR and Pearson Edexcel sit A-Levels once a year in May/June, with results in August. Cambridge International runs May/June and October/November series, and Edexcel International runs the same two series with a January sitting for some subjects. Confirm entry deadlines with your school or the British Council before planning a sitting or a resit.
Manama's schools use a mix of boards. Some British schools follow UK specifications from AQA, OCR and Pearson Edexcel, while others use Cambridge International or Edexcel International. Because of that mix, we always match students with a tutor who knows their exact board, rather than the subject alone.
All tutoring is online and one-to-one, in our own virtual classroom. Manama's A-Level community is small, and the few local specialists are usually full-time school teachers, so students taking less common subjects or Further Mathematics can struggle to find anyone who has taught their board. Online, you can be matched with a specialist tutor without relying on local availability. Parents can join any lesson without notice.
Yes. Students in Manama can have one-to-one online A-Level tutoring with us, matched to their subject, exam board and target grade. We support students at British-curriculum schools around Isa Town, Hamala and Saar, students weighing A-Levels against the IB, Bahraini families aiming for UK and international universities or government scholarships, and private candidates. Start your application and a Learning Advisor will review it the same day.
