Get your child exam-ready for Cambridge AS PE.
Your tutor plans every single session around the CAIE AS PE syllabus, tracking physiology, biomechanics, and psychology closely against the exact grade your child truly needs.
Cambridge AS Level Physical Education explained.
Cambridge AS Level Physical Education is a rigorous CAIE qualification for students aged 16 to 17. It bridges IGCSE and full A-Level study, combining sport science theory with applied performance analysis.
Cambridge AS Level PE is awarded by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE). It is a standalone qualification and also the first year of the full A-Level pathway, suited to students with a strong interest in sport and human performance.
Assessment combines written examinations with a coursework component evaluating practical performance and analysis. Grading runs from A to E, with marks reflecting both theoretical knowledge and applied understanding of the mark scheme.
Cambridge AS Level PE examinations are offered in the May/June and October/November exam series each year. Most GCC school students sit the May/June series, making early preparation from the start of the academic year essential.
A classroom can't fix technique errors.
Physiology gaps get closed fast
Your tutor identifies exactly which topics are holding the grade back, whether that is biomechanics, sport psychology, or practical analysis, and spends lesson time there.
Real biomechanics drills
Every lesson includes timed CAIE past-paper practice with mark-scheme review, so your child learns precisely how Cambridge examiners award marks.
Parents track every performance shift
After every session, you receive a progress update covering what was covered, what improved, and what the next lesson will target.
The qualification that bridges sport science and A-Level progression.
Cambridge AS Level Physical Education is set by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE). It is designed for students aged 16 to 17 who wish to study sport science, anatomy, physiology, and performance analysis at an advanced pre-university level.
Assessment includes written papers covering anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, sport psychology, and sociocultural factors, alongside a coursework unit evaluating practical performance. Grades run from A to E. Strong results support progression to A2 Level PE and university applications in sport science or related fields.
Each Tuitional lesson follows the exact CAIE AS Level PE syllabus (9396), so no session drifts from the real paper. Tutors use the current syllabus code, genuine past papers, and official mark schemes to keep preparation precisely on track.
What a one-to-one Cambridge AS PE lesson actually looks like.
Each lesson moves through four stages: recap, teach, apply, and review. Every stage has a purpose, so no session minute goes to waste.

- 0-5 min
Recap and quick diagnostic
The tutor opens with two or three short questions on last session's topic to identify what has stuck and what still needs attention before moving forward.
Example: The student is asked to recall the sliding filament theory from the previous lesson on muscle contraction to check retention before building on it.
- 5-25 min
Teach the target topic
The tutor explains the new concept clearly, using diagrams on the shared whiteboard and real sporting examples to connect theory to performance.
Example: Teaching Newton's three laws of motion (syllabus section on biomechanics) using a sprinter's block start as the applied context.
- 25-50 min
Apply it to past-paper questions
The student attempts genuine CAIE AS PE past-paper questions under timed conditions. The tutor then reviews each answer against the official mark scheme and explains where marks were gained or lost.
Example: A six-mark data-response question from the CAIE Paper 1 on the cardiovascular response to exercise, marked live against the published mark scheme.
- 50-60 min
Review, set homework, report
The tutor summarises what was covered, sets a targeted homework task for the week, and sends a written session report to the parent straight after the lesson.
Example: Homework set to annotate a diagram of the respiratory system and answer two past-paper questions on tidal volume and minute ventilation.
After the lesson
You receive a written session report covering topics taught, progress observed, and next steps. The full session recording is saved to your dashboard, and your child has access to the tutor's notes, flashcards, and curriculum resources any time.

The sport science qualification that opens the door to A-Level and beyond.
Cambridge AS Level Physical Education is set by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE). It covers anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, sport psychology, and sociocultural factors. Assessment combines written examinations with a practical coursework unit, graded A to E.
AS Level PE is both a standalone qualification and the first stage of the full Cambridge A-Level. Strong grades support university applications in sport science, physiotherapy, and related disciplines across the GCC and internationally.

Why families across the GCC trust Tuitional for AS Level PE.
My son's understanding of sport physiology went from shaky to genuinely confident. His tutor made the theory feel relevant by linking every concept to real athletic examples. The difference in his written answers by the end of term was remarkable.
Booking sessions was straightforward and the tutor was always prepared. I received a written update after every lesson, which gave me real peace of mind about where my daughter stood heading into her exams.
I struggled with the biomechanics section until my tutor broke it down using actual sports clips on the whiteboard. Past-paper practice in every session meant I knew exactly what the examiner was looking for.
We switched to Tuitional two months before the exam series. My son moved from a D to a solid B. The flexible scheduling around his training schedule made all the difference.
Cambridge AS Level PE tutoring — your questions, answered.
The things parents and students ask us most, in plain language.
?What does Cambridge AS Level Physical Education cover?+
Cambridge AS Level PE covers anatomy and physiology, biomechanics, sport psychology, and sociocultural factors in sport. Students also complete a practical performance and analysis unit. The written papers and coursework together form the full assessment for the CAIE qualification.
?How is Cambridge AS Level PE different from IGCSE PE?+
AS Level PE goes significantly deeper than IGCSE PE in scientific and theoretical content. Students analyse the physiological responses to exercise, apply biomechanical principles, and evaluate sporting performance using academic frameworks. The written answers are longer and require precise use of subject terminology.
?Can a tutor help with the AS Level PE practical coursework?+
Yes. Tuitional tutors support the practical analysis and written evaluation components of the CAIE AS Level PE coursework. Sessions cover how to structure performance analysis, use the correct terminology, and meet the mark-scheme criteria for each component of the unit.
?How many sessions per week does my child need for AS Level PE?+
Most students benefit from one or two sessions per week. The right number depends on how far the exam series is, which topics need most attention, and your child's existing school timetable. Your tutor will recommend a schedule after the first session.
?Are sessions recorded so my child can review them later?+
Yes. Every Tuitional session is recorded and saved to the student's dashboard. Your child can replay any lesson at any time, which is especially useful when revising biomechanics diagrams or physiology processes before the exam.
?How much does Cambridge AS Level PE tutoring cost?+
Tuitional's AS Level tutoring starts from AED 65 per hour. You can pay per session or purchase a package with no long-term lock-in. Visit the tutoring packages page on tuitionaledu.com for full pricing details.
