What parents should know about Cambridge A Level Arabic.
Cambridge A Level Arabic is a rigorous qualification set by Cambridge Assessment International Education. It develops advanced reading, writing, and linguistic analysis skills, and is widely recognised by universities across the GCC and internationally.
Cambridge A Level Arabic is a two-year post-16 qualification offered by CAIE. It is studied as AS Level in the first year and A2 in the second, forming a complete A Level pathway recognised by universities worldwide.
The qualification is graded A* to E. Assessment includes written examination papers testing reading comprehension, summary writing, directed writing, and essay composition. Strong command of formal Arabic and accurate grammar are essential for top marks.
Cambridge A Level Arabic exams are held in the May/June and October/November exam series each year. Most students in the GCC sit the May/June series. Preparation typically begins six to twelve months before the exam session.
A group class can't do this.
Lessons built around the gaps
Every session targets the exact topics and paper skills holding your child's grade back, not a class average.
Real past-paper technique
Tutors work through timed CAIE past papers and mark schemes so students learn exactly what the examiner is looking for.
Parents kept in the loop
Weekly tutor notes and monthly progress reports mean you always know where your child stands and what comes next.
The advanced Arabic qualification recognised by universities worldwide.
Cambridge A Level Arabic is a post-16 qualification set by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE). It is designed for students aged 16 to 19 who wish to develop advanced proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic. The course is widely taught in international schools across the GCC, making it a natural choice for students in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman.
The qualification is structured as AS Level (Year 12) and A2 Level (Year 13). Assessment is entirely examination-based, with papers covering reading comprehension, directed writing, summary skills, and essay composition. Results are graded A* to E. Strong performance opens pathways to Arabic studies, law, international relations, journalism, and other degree programmes at leading universities.
Tuitional tutors work directly from the CAIE Arabic syllabus your child's school follows, so every lesson maps to the real paper rather than a generic course.
What a one-to-one lesson actually looks like
Every session follows the same tested structure — recap, teach, apply, review — so your child leaves each hour with marks they did not have before.

- 0–5 min
Recap and quick diagnostic
The tutor marks last week’s homework live and runs two or three quick recall questions to find exactly where understanding is still shaky.
Example: three definitions from cell structure — magnification, resolution, organelle.
- 5–25 min
Teach the target topic
One syllabus topic, taught from first principles with diagrams and questioning — not a recorded video. The tutor checks understanding line by line before moving on.
Example: aerobic respiration and the electron transport chain (9700 Topic 12).
- 25–50 min
Apply it to past-paper questions
Your child answers real CAIE past-paper questions on the same topic while the tutor marks against the official mark scheme, showing exactly which words earn the marks.
Example: a six-mark Paper 4 structured question on oxidative phosphorylation.
- 50–60 min
Review, set homework, report
The last ten minutes lock in what was learnt: a recap of the method, targeted homework for the week, and a short written report sent to you the same day.
After the lesson
You receive a parent report covering what was taught, how your child performed and what comes next — and homework is set in the portal with a due date before the next session.

The qualification that takes Arabic from fluency to academic mastery.
Cambridge A Level Arabic is set by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) and is studied over two years as AS and A2. It assesses advanced reading comprehension, formal writing, and linguistic analysis through written examinations, with results graded A* to E and recognised by universities across the world.
Cambridge A Level Arabic is particularly relevant for students in the GCC, where many international schools offer the CAIE curriculum. The subject rewards disciplined exam technique alongside genuine language ability, making structured, one-to-one preparation a significant advantage in the months before the exam series.

The things parents and students ask us most, in plain language.
?Which Cambridge Arabic A Level syllabus does Tuitional cover?+
Tuitional tutors cover the Cambridge International AS and A Level Arabic syllabus (9680). Lessons are mapped directly to the syllabus code your school uses, so every session is relevant to the exact papers your child will sit.
?How is Cambridge A Level Arabic assessed?+
Cambridge A Level Arabic is assessed through written examination papers only. Papers test reading comprehension, summary writing, directed writing, and extended essay composition in Modern Standard Arabic. There is no coursework component, so exam technique and timed practice are central to preparation.
?How many sessions per week does my child need?+
Most A Level Arabic students benefit from one or two sessions per week, depending on how far off their target grade they are. Your tutor will recommend a schedule after the free trial lesson, based on the syllabus gaps identified in that first session.
?Can my child start lessons mid-year or close to exams?+
Yes. Tuitional tutors work with students at any stage of the academic year, including in the final weeks before the exam series. Sessions are focused and efficient, prioritising the highest-yield topics and past-paper technique when time is short.
?How much do Cambridge A Level Arabic tutoring sessions cost?+
A Level tutoring starts from AED 65 per hour. You can pay per session or buy a package with no lock-in. Full details are on the Tuitional tutoring packages page.
?Are sessions recorded so my child can review them later?+
Yes. Every session is recorded and made available to the student to review at any time. Students also receive detailed notes, lesson plans, and resources after each session, so nothing covered in the lesson is lost.
