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.

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 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.

We tutor A-Level students in over 50 countries. Every page covers the boards students follow locally and where they sit their exams.
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.
