Edexcel International A Level Arabic: what parents should know.
Edexcel International A Level Arabic is a rigorous two-year qualification set by Pearson. It develops advanced reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills, and is widely recognised by universities worldwide.
A full A Level qualification in Arabic set by Pearson Edexcel, designed for students aged 16 to 18. It builds on AS Level study and forms a respected pathway to university admission in the UK, GCC, and internationally.
Students are graded from A* to E across written examination papers covering reading, writing, and text analysis. There is no controlled assessment component at A Level; all marks come from external examinations sat in the May/June series.
Examinations are sat in the May/June series each year. Students in the GCC typically begin A Level Arabic preparation in Year 12 and complete final papers in Year 13, giving two full academic years for study and revision.
A group class cannot do this.
Lessons built around the exact gaps
Every session targets the specific Arabic skills holding your child's grade back, whether that is formal written expression, comprehension of unseen texts, or essay structure.
Past-paper technique, every session
Tutors work through real Edexcel mark schemes and past papers so students learn exactly how to answer each question type for maximum marks.
Parents kept fully in the loop
After every session you receive tutor notes and a progress update, so you always know what was covered and what comes next.

- 0-5 min
Recap and quick diagnostic
The tutor opens by reviewing the previous session's homework and pinpointing any remaining gaps before moving forward.
Example: Revisiting a student's written response to an unseen Arabic prose passage from the previous session, checking for formal register and grammatical accuracy.
- 5-25 min
Teach the target topic
The tutor introduces or deepens understanding of one specific syllabus skill, explaining the concept clearly and modelling the correct approach.
Example: Teaching how to write a structured analytical commentary on an Arabic literary extract, focusing on the Edexcel mark scheme criteria for language and technique.
- 25-50 min
Apply to past-paper questions
The student attempts real Edexcel past-paper questions under timed conditions. The tutor then marks the responses using the official mark scheme and gives targeted feedback.
Example: Completing a timed reading comprehension from an Edexcel International A Level Arabic Paper 1 past paper, then reviewing each answer against the mark scheme point by point.
- 50-60 min
Review, set homework, report
The tutor summarises what was covered, assigns focused homework for the week, and logs session notes that are shared with the parent automatically.
Example: Setting a written essay task responding to a stimulus article in formal Arabic, to be completed before the next session and reviewed against the Edexcel writing criteria.
After the lesson
You receive tutor notes, a session summary, and the homework task directly through the platform. Monthly progress reports track performance across all assessed skills so you always know where your child stands.

Why families across the GCC trust Tuitional for A Level Arabic.
My daughter struggled with the formal written Arabic papers all through Year 12. After just six sessions with her Tuitional tutor, her essay structure completely transformed. Her confidence in the comprehension tasks is unrecognisable. We wish we had started sooner.
The tutor understood the Edexcel mark scheme inside out and explained exactly what the examiners look for. My son finally stopped losing marks on questions he actually knew the answers to. Communication with us as parents has been excellent throughout.
I was worried Arabic A Level would be too much alongside my other subjects. My tutor broke every topic into manageable pieces and the sessions always fit around my school timetable. I actually enjoy the lessons now.
We started sessions eight weeks before the May exams and my daughter moved up a full grade band. The flexible scheduling made it possible even during mock exam season. Highly recommend for any Edexcel Arabic student.
