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.
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.
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.

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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Through your school: Students at a Cambridge school are entered by the school. Nothing to arrange.
- 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.
- 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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
