Studying A-Levels in São Paulo

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.

A-Levels are a specialist route in São Paulo. Most of the city's British schools move to the IB after IGCSE, and Brazilian university entry runs through the ENEM and each university's vestibular. A-Level students here are usually at bilingual schools that teach Cambridge International AS and A Levels, in families planning to study in the UK, or studying independently as private candidates. Because the Brazilian school year runs from February to December, the October/November series is often the natural sitting at the end of the year.

With tailored learning plans built around each school's syllabus and exam series, we help students across São Paulo reach their full potential in the A-Level curriculum.

Who this page is for

Bilingual Cambridge schools: Students at São Paulo's bilingual schools that run the Cambridge pathway from primary through IGCSE and into AS and A Level alongside the Brazilian curriculum.

Students applying to the UK: Brazilian students who want direct entry to UK universities, where A-Levels avoid the foundation year usually required with a Brazilian school certificate.

Relocating families: Families moving between Brazil and the UK or other British-curriculum countries who need continuity on a specific board.

Private candidates: Students entering exams independently, including homeschoolers, students at international schools on other programmes, and those adding a subject.

Why families in São Paulo choose A-Levels

A-Levels are the standard entry route to UK universities and are recognised for admission in the US, Canada, Portugal and across Europe. For Brazilian families they are a deliberate route abroad: UK universities rarely offer direct entry on a Brazilian school certificate alone, while strong A-Level grades lead straight into a degree. Brazilian universities admit through the ENEM or their own entrance exams, so A-Levels sit alongside rather than replace the local route.

  • Direct UCAS route to UK universities, without a foundation year
  • Recognised for US, Portuguese and European admissions
  • Three or four subjects in depth rather than a broad curriculum
  • The October/November series fits the Brazilian school year

Why students in São Paulo choose us

São Paulo's tutoring market is built around the ENEM and the vestibular, through cursinhos and private tutors teaching in Portuguese to the national curriculum. A-Level specialists are genuinely rare, even in a city this size, and very few tutors have taught Cambridge International papers or know how the mark schemes reward extended written answers. Families often end up with no local option that fits their child's exam at all.

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.

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.

Sitting your A-Level exams in São Paulo

Which exam boards students in São Paulo follow, when the exam series run, and how private candidates register.

Which boards and exam sessions

A-Level students in São Paulo almost all follow Cambridge International, the board used by bilingual schools running the Cambridge pathway. Cambridge runs two series a year, so students can sit, or resit, in either the summer or autumn series rather than waiting a full year. Your exact papers and dates depend on your school or exam centre.

‍

  1. Cambridge International (most students): Two exam series each year: May/June (results in August) and October/November (results in January). The autumn series lines up with the end of the Brazilian school year.
  2. Edexcel International: Available at a smaller number of centres, with January, May/June and October/November series and a modular structure.

Exam centres and private candidate registration

Students at bilingual Cambridge schools are usually entered by their school. Those studying independently, resitting, or taking a subject their school doesn't offer can register as private candidates. The São Paulo Open Centre, a Cambridge Associate, administers IGCSE and AS & A Level exams for private candidates, and some Cambridge schools also accept external entries. Registration deadlines fall several months before each series, and exam fees are paid to the centre, not to us.

‍

  1. Through your school: Students at a Cambridge school are entered by the school. Nothing to arrange.
  2. As a private candidate: The São Paulo Open Centre is the main route for Cambridge private candidates, with online registration for each series. Check the syllabus and component codes you need before you register, as centres only administer the exams.
  3. 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

We have answers to your most frequently asked questions. Anything not answered here, please reach out to our team.

Do you also offer GCSE and IGCSE tutoring in São Paulo?

Yes. IGCSE is far more common in São Paulo, because bilingual schools run the Cambridge pathway from primary through IGCSE into AS and A Level. Our online IGCSE tutoring covers those years, and online GCSE tutoring suits families moving to or from the UK. Both start from $50 USD (£38) per hour. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $75 USD (£56) per hour.

How much does A-Level tutoring cost in São Paulo?

São Paulo families pay the same USD rates as everyone else. A-Level and AS tutoring with an academic tutor begins at $60 USD (£45) per hour. With a package you save 5% on 10 to 20 hours, 10% on 21 to 30, 12.5% on 31 to 50 or 15% on 51 or more. Pay as you go is invoiced lesson by lesson, and there are no lock-in contracts. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $85 USD (£64) per hour. See 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.

Can tutors teach in São Paulo's time zone?

Yes. São Paulo is on UTC-3. At application we record your child's availability and time zone, then match only with a tutor who can teach at times that suit, whether that is after school or at weekends. Every tutor we match has passed our selection process, described in how we select tutors.

Can I sit A-Levels as a private candidate in São Paulo?

Yes. The São Paulo Open Centre, a Cambridge Associate, administers IGCSE and AS and A Level exams for private candidates, with online registration each series, and some Cambridge schools accept external entries. Check the syllabus and component codes you need before registering. Deadlines close several months ahead, and exam fees are paid to the centre. See resits and retakes.

When do students in São Paulo sit their A-Level exams?

Cambridge International students in São Paulo can sit in May/June, with results in August, or October/November, with results in January. The autumn series lines up with the end of the Brazilian school year. Edexcel International, offered at fewer centres, runs January, May/June and October/November series. Confirm entry deadlines with your school or centre well in advance, especially for resits.

Which exam boards do A-Level students in São Paulo follow?

Almost every A-Level student in São Paulo follows Cambridge International, the board used by the city's bilingual schools on the Cambridge pathway. Edexcel International is available at a smaller number of centres. Whichever applies, we match your child with a tutor who teaches that board and knows its papers and mark schemes, including families relocating who need continuity on a specific board.

Is A-Level tutoring in São Paulo online or in person?

All tutoring is online, in our own virtual classroom. In São Paulo that is often the only realistic route to a specialist: the local market centres on ENEM and vestibular preparation in Portuguese, and very few tutors have taught Cambridge International papers or know how mark schemes reward extended written answers. Parents can join any lesson without notice. Learn how it works.

Do you offer A-Level tutoring in São Paulo?

Yes. Top A-Level Tutors works with São Paulo students one-to-one and online, pairing each with a tutor for their subject, exam board and target grade. Most attend bilingual Cambridge schools that run AS and A Level alongside the Brazilian curriculum, and many want direct entry to UK universities without a foundation year. Apply here to get matched.
