IGCSE, A Level and IB tuition in Dubai.
Dubai has the largest British curriculum school population in the Gulf, and the widest spread of exam boards inside it. One student sits Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry 0620, the child two streets away sits Edexcel 4CH1, and the two papers are not the same. Academy X teaches to the syllabus code your school actually enters you for.
Cambridge and Edexcel subjects we teach in Dubai
These eight are the subjects Dubai families ask for most. Each is taught by a specialist in that specification, working from the same past papers your school will set.

Cambridge and Edexcel dominate Dubai, with Oxford AQA growing in newer British schools. Many Dubai centres sit the Edexcel R variant papers in the June series, so our past paper practice uses the variant your school enters.
Students from Dubai's British curriculum and IB schools
KHDA regulates private schools in Dubai, and the British curriculum schools it inspects run Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel and Oxford AQA side by side.
Our Dubai students come from schools such as Repton Dubai, Dubai College, Jumeirah College, GEMS Wellington, Kings School Dubai, JESS, Dubai English Speaking College and Nord Anglia, and from many more across the city. Because classes are online, we can match a teacher by syllabus code rather than by postcode.

How classes run in Dubai
Afternoon slots fill fastest in Dubai because most schools finish between 2:30 and 3:30. Booking two fixed weekly slots at the start of term is the surest way to hold an after school time.
- One to one, or a batch of a maximum of three
- Morning, afternoon, evening and weekend slots
- Grouped by exam board and syllabus code
- Topic taught, then past paper questions on it
Topical preparation, taught then examined in the same session.
Most tuition saves past papers for the final few weeks. We finish every topic with the real questions that topic has produced in real papers, marked to the official mark scheme, while the teaching is still fresh.
Diagnose the paper
We start from the exact board, code and paper your Dubai school enters you for.
Teach the topic
Taught from first principles until the student can explain it back without notes.
Attempt real questions
Past paper questions on that topic, under timing, in the same session.
Mark and correct
Marked to the mark scheme so the student learns where the marks live.
