Exam boards
The science exams UAE pupils sit
British-curriculum schools in the UAE choose the board, and whether pupils take the three sciences separately or a combined course. Check the course code on a past paper or report, or send it to us and we will check it.
Cambridge IGCSE Physics, Chemistry, Biology (0625, 0620, 0610)
Three papers each: a 45-minute multiple-choice paper (40 marks, 30%), a 1 hour 15 minute theory paper (80 marks, 50%) and a practical paper (40 marks, 20%). Core pupils can get grades C to G; Extended pupils A* to G.
The practical paper is either a lab practical test or an Alternative to Practical written paper, chosen by the school. Sat in June or November.

Lesson times
What time is the lesson in the UK?
After-school time in the UAE falls in the UK’s late morning and afternoon. That is why we match you with a teacher who is free at your times, rather than offering a fixed timetable.

Yes. We teach Cambridge IGCSE Physics (0625), Chemistry (0620) and Biology (0610) at Core and Extended, Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Physics, Chemistry and Biology and Science Double Award, and A-Level sciences.
Should my child take Core or Extended science?
Extended is needed for grades A* to B: Core leads to grades C to G. After the free assessment we tell you plainly which looks right, and your child’s school makes the final entry. Edexcel International GCSE sciences have no tiers.
What time are online science lessons in Dubai?
Whenever suits you, agreed in UAE time. The UAE is 4 hours ahead of the UK in winter and 3 in summer, so a 5pm lesson in Dubai is 1pm in London in winter. Weekends are possible too.

IGCSE science starts at £40 an hour (about AED 195) with a specialist tutor or £50 (about AED 245) with a PGCE-qualified teacher. A-Level starts at £50 (about AED 245). We bill in pounds.
