A-Level tutoring
A grade here is a condition on a university place. Abu Dhabi makes those conditions unusually easy to read.
AS and A Level on Pearson Edexcel, OxfordAQA and Cambridge International, with mentors who sat the same specifications recently. Several of the capital's biggest sixth forms publish their exam boards subject by subject, so we can plan against the exact paper a child will face rather than a generic A-Level. Mentors travel across the islands, or teach online.

What makes the difference
- 01
The capital publishes its boards, so we can be exact
Brighton College Abu Dhabi's exam board fee list runs subject by subject: Biology with Pearson, Accounting with Cambridge, Drama with AQA. The British School Al Khubairat's fee list does the same. Repton Abu Dhabi prints an exam board line under every course in its sixth form options booklet, mostly Pearson Edexcel with OxfordAQA on a handful. We read those documents, then teach the specification the school actually entered your child for.
- 02
What the regulator here means for a family buying lessons
Private schools in the emirate answer to the Department of Education and Knowledge, which inspects them through its Irtiqaa programme and rates them Outstanding, Very Good, Good, Acceptable, Weak or Very Weak, with Good as the minimum it expects. ADEK's Professional Code of Ethics also tells school staff they need a private teacher work permit from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation before tutoring outside school hours. It also stops a teacher tutoring a student enrolled at the school that employs them. Worth knowing before anyone arranges quiet lessons with a member of the staffroom.

Mentors who were sitting these papers a few years ago
Ours came through AS and A Level recently and went straight into the application season behind it. They remember the week predicted grades went in, and what a firm offer felt like when the results came out. That is a different kind of help from someone who last opened the specification twenty years ago.
Subjects
Every A-Level subject the offer depends on
Maths and Further Maths
Pure, Mechanics and Statistics. Further Maths is timetabled at some Abu Dhabi sixth forms and not at others. So the first question is whether the course your child is applying to genuinely asks for it, or whether that fourth subject is better spent somewhere else.
Sciences
Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Medicine and engineering applicants carry the heaviest load in the capital. The marks tend to go missing in the same two places: unit work done at speed, and an explanation written in three words where the mark scheme wanted six.
Economics and Business
Definition, diagram, application, judgement, in that order and inside the minute count. Students here have sovereign wealth, energy pricing and a deliberately diversifying economy in the news around them, which beats a recycled textbook example every time.
Humanities and English
English Literature, Psychology, History and Sociology. We work on the shape of the answer before the content. What the question is really asking, which two arguments carry the marks, and how to reach a judgement instead of stopping at a list.
Mathematics and Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Business, Psychology, Computer Science, English Literature, Arabic and more. With 150+ mentors across 60+ subjects, whatever the capital's sixth forms offer, we can staff it. Subject pages: biology tutors · economics tutors · computer science tutors.
Across Abu Dhabi
Islands and bridges. A mentor on the right side of them.

01
The islands, and the crossings between them
Mentors come to homes on Saadiyat, Al Reem and Yas, and in Al Raha, Khalifa City, Al Bateen, Al Mushrif, Al Nahyan, Mussafah and Mohammed Bin Zayed City. The capital is a set of islands joined by a handful of bridges. The honest question is never how many kilometres away a mentor lives, it is which crossing sits between the two of you. Someone already on Reem for a 5:00 pm lesson can reach Khalifa City for 7:00 pm. Someone coming off Saadiyat the other way cannot always promise the same, and we say which before you book rather than after. Through exam season the same mentor teaches online instead of spending the hour on a bridge.

The sixth forms our students come from
Brighton College Abu Dhabi in Bloom Gardens, The British School Al Khubairat off Airport Road, and Cranleigh Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat. Then the Fry campus of Repton Abu Dhabi on Al Reem, Nord Anglia International School on Al Reem, and Yasmina British Academy out by Al Raha Gardens. Further from the centre there are A-Level sixth forms at GEMS Cambridge International School - Abu Dhabi, Reach British School in Baniyas and Diyafah International School in Mohammed Bin Zayed City. Not every British school in the capital ends that way: Bateen World Academy, The British International School Abu Dhabi and Aspen Heights all finish on the IB Diploma instead.

FAQ
A-Level tutoring in Abu Dhabi, answered
- 01
What does A-Level tutoring cost in Abu Dhabi?
AED 180 an hour on the Commitment plan and AED 200 on Flexible, at high-school level, with 5% VAT already inside the number. Add AED 40 when the mentor comes to you rather than teaching online. Every level and both plans are listed on the pricing page.
- 02
Which boards do Abu Dhabi schools enter students for?
Pearson Edexcel most often, with OxfordAQA and Cambridge International alongside it. Repton Abu Dhabi's 2025/26 options booklet prints Pearson Edexcel under most courses and OxfordAQA under a few. Brighton College's published fee list mixes Pearson, AQA and Cambridge across subjects. Diyafah International School says its A-Level qualifications come through Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel or OxfordAQA. We teach all three, and we ask which one before the first lesson.
- 03
Where are the exams registered and sat?
Registration in the UAE goes through the British Council, whose Abu Dhabi office is Villa 16 on Al Qasbah Street in Al Bateen, next to the Bateen healthcare centre. Candidates entered by their own school sit in that school. The venue is confirmed when the entry is made, so read the timetable you are given rather than assuming it is the same hall as last year.
- 04
Can you plan lessons around my child's mock weeks?
Yes, and in the capital that takes one extra step. ADEK requires every private school to submit its calendar for approval and to keep a common structure, but it does not publish one master calendar for parents the way Dubai's KHDA does. So term dates and mock weeks have to come from your school rather than a public page. Send us the calendar the school gave you and the plan is built backwards from it.
- 05
Do you teach at home, or online?
Both. A mentor at your table on Saadiyat, Reem, Yas, in Khalifa City or Al Raha, and online for anywhere the bridges make awkward. Families out towards Mussafah and Mohammed Bin Zayed City often begin in person and move to screen for the last stretch before a series.
- 06
Who will be teaching my child?
University students and recent graduates, from AUS, AUD, CUD and NYUAD among others, who sat A-Level within the last few years and scored highly in what they now teach. One local point worth knowing. ADEK's code of ethics bars a school teacher from tutoring a student enrolled at the school employing them, which is part of why families here look outside the staffroom. How we vet and choose mentors is set out on the about page.
