Cambridge AS Level Accounting: what parents should know.
Cambridge AS Level Accounting (9706) is set by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE). It covers financial accounting principles, double-entry bookkeeping, and company accounts, and is widely recognised by universities across the GCC and internationally.
Cambridge AS Level Accounting is the first half of the full Cambridge A Level (9706). Students typically study it in Year 12 and gain a standalone qualification that feeds directly into the A2 year or university entry.
AS Level Accounting is assessed by two written papers. Paper 1 is multiple choice; Paper 2 covers structured data-response questions. Grades run from A to E, with Cambridge mark schemes rewarding method and accuracy in equal measure.
CAIE offers two exam series each year: May/June and October/November. Most AS Level students in the GCC sit the May/June series, so tutoring typically begins in earnest from the preceding September or January.
A group class can't cover every gap in Accounting.
Lessons built around your child's gaps
The tutor identifies exactly which topics are costing marks, whether that's incomplete double-entry entries or misread ledger formats, and focuses every session there.
Real past-paper technique, every session
Students practise on genuine CAIE 9706 past papers and learn how Cambridge mark schemes award marks, so exam technique improves alongside subject knowledge.
Parents kept fully in the loop
After every session, parents receive a brief progress note covering what was covered, what improved, and what the next session will target.
The accounting qualification that opens university doors.
Cambridge AS Level Accounting (syllabus 9706) is set by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE). It is designed for students aged 16-17 and forms the first year of the full Cambridge A Level in Accounting.
Assessment consists of two written papers. Paper 1 is a 75-minute multiple-choice paper; Paper 2 is a 90-minute structured data-response paper. Results are graded A to E. Both papers draw from Cambridge's published mark schemes, rewarding clear, methodical workings.
Every Tuitional session follows the exact CAIE 9706 syllabus your child's school uses, covering the same topics and question styles that appear on the real papers, so nothing taught in a session ever drifts from what the examiner will reward.
What a one-to-one Cambridge AS Accounting lesson actually looks like.
Every session follows a clear four-phase structure. The tutor moves from diagnosing gaps to teaching, then to past-paper practice, and closes with a short review and homework set.

- 0-5 min
Recap and quick diagnostic
The tutor revisits the previous session's topic with two or three quick questions to confirm what has stuck and what still needs work before moving on.
Example: The student recaps the difference between capital expenditure and revenue expenditure using a short verbal Q&A before the main topic begins.
- 5-25 min
Teach the target topic
The tutor explains the new concept clearly, using worked examples on a shared digital whiteboard so the student can follow each step in real time.
Example: Teaching the preparation of a full income statement and statement of financial position for a sole trader, step by step, referencing the CAIE 9706 syllabus structure.
- 25-50 min
Apply it to past-paper questions
The student attempts real CAIE 9706 past-paper questions under the tutor's guidance. The tutor then walks through the mark scheme, showing exactly where marks are awarded.
Example: Completing a Paper 2 structured question on partnership accounts from a recent May/June series, then comparing the student's workings to the published Cambridge mark scheme.
- 50-60 min
Review, set homework, share notes
The tutor summarises what was covered, sets a short focused homework task, and logs a session note that is sent directly to the parent after the call ends.
Example: Homework set to complete a ledger reconciliation exercise from the CAIE 9706 specimen paper, ready to review at the start of the next session.
After the lesson
Parents receive a session note covering the topic taught, progress observed, and the homework task set. The session recording is saved automatically and accessible to the student and parent at any time for review.

The qualification that builds genuine financial understanding before university.
Cambridge AS Level Accounting (9706) is set by CAIE and assessed through two written papers covering financial accounting, double-entry bookkeeping, and company accounts. It is recognised by universities across the GCC and worldwide as a rigorous pre-university qualification.
Students typically sit AS Level in Year 12. Results feed directly into the A2 year or stand alone for university applications. One-to-one tutoring aligns every session to the exact syllabus code and exam series the student is entered for.

Why families across the GCC trust Tuitional for AS Accounting.
My son was really struggling with partnership accounts and kept losing marks on the income statement questions. His Tuitional tutor broke every step down clearly and patiently. He went from a D to a confident B by the May/June series. I can't recommend it enough.
Scheduling was so straightforward. We picked times that suited us around school hours and the tutor was always punctual and prepared. As a parent, the weekly notes gave me real confidence that my daughter was on track.
I was finding the double-entry bookkeeping really confusing. My tutor used worked examples from actual past papers and suddenly it all clicked. I felt genuinely prepared walking into my Paper 2 exam.
We moved from Bahrain to Qatar mid-year and were worried about continuity. Tuitional matched us with a tutor within two days and the sessions picked up exactly where school had left off. The flexible scheduling made the transition much easier.
Cambridge AS Accounting tutoring: your questions answered.
The things parents and students ask us most, in plain language.
?Do your tutors follow the CAIE 9706 Accounting syllabus?+
Yes. Every session is mapped directly to the Cambridge AS Level Accounting syllabus code 9706. Tutors cover the exact topics and question types that appear on Paper 1 and Paper 2, so nothing taught ever drifts from what the examiner rewards.
?Can we start mid-year if my child has already missed some topics?+
Yes, mid-year starts are very common, particularly for expat families who have moved between countries or schools. Your tutor will run a quick diagnostic in the first session to identify any gaps and build a catch-up plan from there.
?How many sessions per week does my child need for AS Accounting?+
Most students benefit from one or two sessions per week. The right frequency depends on how much time remains before the exam series and which topics need the most work. Your tutor will recommend a plan after the trial session.
?Are sessions live or are they pre-recorded videos?+
Every session is a live, one-to-one video lesson with a real tutor. There are no pre-recorded classes. Sessions are recorded automatically so your child can replay any explanation at any time.
?What happens if the first tutor isn't the right fit?+
We offer a free re-match if the first pairing doesn't feel right. You can contact us and we'll find a more suitable Cambridge AS Accounting tutor without any additional cost or delay.
?How much does Cambridge AS Level Accounting tutoring cost?+
AS Level tutoring rates start from AED 65 per hour. Sessions can be booked individually or as a package with no lock-in. Visit our tutoring packages page for full pricing details and to find the option that suits your family.
