Which Cambridge stages do we tutor?

All of them. Apex Cambridge tutors cover the whole pathway: Cambridge IGCSE (ages 14–16, over 70 subjects, graded A*–G), Cambridge O Level, and Cambridge International AS & A Level (ages 16–19, graded a–e and A*–E). Every tutor is matched to your child’s exact stage, subject and syllabus code — one centre for the whole journey, live in your timezone.

How do the Cambridge stages connect?

In three steps. Cambridge IGCSE (age 14–16) is the foundation, taken as Core or Extended. AS Level (age 16–17) is the first advanced year and roughly half a full A Level. A Level (age 17–19) is the final step, accepted by UK universities grade-for-grade with GCE A Levels — offers are made in grades, such as AAB. Apex supports each step up.

Cambridge tutors — the questions parents ask

What Cambridge stages does Apex tutor?

Apex tutors the full Cambridge pathway online: Cambridge IGCSE and O Level (upper secondary, roughly ages 14–16) and Cambridge International AS & A Level (advanced, roughly ages 16–19). Lessons are one-to-one, matched to your child’s exact syllabus and school, and delivered live in your timezone.

Is Cambridge IGCSE the same as a UK GCSE?

They are separate qualifications, but recognised as comparable. UK NARIC (now UK ENIC) benchmarked Cambridge IGCSE as comparable to the standard of the UK GCSE, and Russell Group universities including Oxford, Cambridge and LSE make no distinction between IGCSE and GCSE in admissions.

What is the difference between IGCSE Core and Extended?

Many IGCSE subjects are tiered. Core covers the essential content and targets grades C–G; Extended adds further topics and targets grades A*–E. In Maths (0580), for example, Core sits Papers 1 and 3 while Extended sits Papers 2 and 4. Students heading for A Level typically take Extended.

How are Cambridge qualifications graded?

Cambridge IGCSE is graded A*–G (below G is “Ungraded”), Cambridge O Level A*–E, and A Level A*–E — with AS Level a–e and no A* at AS. Schools in administrative zone 3, which includes the UK, may choose 9–1 graded IGCSEs instead of A*–G; all other schools keep A*–G.

When are Cambridge exams, and can my child resit?

Cambridge runs two main exam series each year — June and November — so a student can retake a subject in a later series to improve a grade. Exact dates and entry deadlines are set per series and per administrative zone, so always check your centre’s current timetable.

Are Cambridge qualifications recognised in the UAE and the UK?

Yes. In the UK, IGCSE is benchmarked comparable to GCSE and Cambridge A Levels are accepted grade-for-grade with UK A Levels for university entry. In the UAE, the Ministry of Education recognises Cambridge qualifications through a Grade-12 equivalency certificate, which students need to enter an accredited UAE university.

Do you cover both the UAE and the UK?

Yes. Apex tutors Cambridge students worldwide, with a focus on the UAE and UK. Because delivery is fully online, your tutor is matched to your child’s curriculum and timezone rather than your city — the same examiner-level teaching whether you’re in Dubai, London or elsewhere.
