What every parent should know about Edexcel International A Level IT.
Edexcel International A Level IT is a Pearson-awarded qualification designed for students aged 16 to 18. It develops practical and theoretical understanding of information technology, preparing students for university-level computing and technology programmes.
Edexcel International A Level IT is a two-year qualification set by Pearson. It suits students who want a rigorous technology pathway leading to university courses in IT, computer science, or related disciplines.
The qualification is graded A* to E. Assessment combines written examinations with coursework components, testing both theoretical knowledge and applied IT skills. Mark schemes reward precise, well-structured responses across all units.
Edexcel International A Level IT exams run in the January and June series each year. Most students complete the full A Level over two years, sitting AS units in Year 12 and A2 units in Year 13.
A group class can't do this.
Lessons built around your child's gaps
Every session targets the exact Edexcel IT units and topics where your child is losing marks, rather than repeating content they already know.
Real past-paper exam technique
Tutors work through timed Edexcel past papers and mark schemes so students understand precisely how answers are structured and rewarded.
Parents kept in the loop
After each session, parents receive a written tutor note and progress update so you always know what was covered and what comes next.

Recap and quick diagnostic
The tutor opens with a short check on the previous session's homework and asks two or three quick questions to spot any remaining gaps before moving on.
Example: The tutor asks the student to explain the difference between a LAN and a WAN, checking retention from the previous networking unit.
- 5-25 min
Teach the target topic
The tutor introduces or deepens the focus unit using the Pearson syllabus guide, explaining concepts clearly and checking understanding at each step before moving forward.
Example: Teaching Unit 2 (Delivering IT Projects) by walking through project lifecycle stages and how each maps to the Edexcel mark scheme descriptors.
- 25-50 min
Apply it to Edexcel past-paper questions
The student works through real Edexcel International A Level IT past-paper questions while the tutor annotates answers live, showing exactly what examiners award marks for.
Example: Tackling a June series Unit 1 (Fundamentals of IT) 12-mark extended response question and comparing the student's answer against the official mark scheme.
- 50-60 min
Review, set homework, send report
The tutor summarises what was covered, sets a focused homework task, and sends a written session note to parents within hours of the lesson ending.
Example: Homework set to complete a practice coursework section on IT systems analysis, ready to review at the next session.

Why families across the GCC trust Tuitional for A Level IT.
My son was struggling with the coursework units and falling behind on the theory papers. His Tuitional tutor broke everything down clearly and helped him understand exactly what the Edexcel mark scheme expects. His confidence improved within just a few sessions.
Scheduling was easy and the tutor always sent a session note afterwards. As a parent I finally felt informed about what my daughter was actually studying each week.
I used to dread the Unit 1 exam questions. After a few sessions I understood how to structure my answers and actually started enjoying the subject.
My daughter moved from a D to a B grade after consistent weekly sessions. The tutor matched her exact school syllabus and the improvement was clear within the first month.
