A-Level, the
gold-standard
pre-university path.
Personalised 1:1 coaching for AS and A2 across every major A-Level subject. We work with students sitting Cambridge International (CIE) and Edexcel International A-Level — the two most widely respected pre-university qualifications in the world.
The pre-university qualification trusted by Oxbridge, Russell Group and Ivy League admissions offices. Deep, subject-specialist preparation for the next step after IGCSE.
The qualification that actually unlocks the world's best universities.
The IGCSE — International General Certificate of Secondary Education — is a globally recognised qualification typically taken between ages 14 and 16. It is designed, examined and awarded by the University of Cambridge (and also offered by Edexcel/Pearson), and it is the single most important credential your child will earn before A-Level, IB Diploma or university admissions.
In Vietnam, IGCSE is offered at virtually every international school — BIS, BVIS, ISHCMC, SSIS, EIS, TAS and many others. But international school classrooms are built for the average of 20 students, not for your child. Times Edu is where students come to close gaps, push past plateaus and turn predicted B grades into final A*s.
Why IGCSE matters
Strong IGCSE results directly determine your child's A-Level or IB subject choices, influence university offers (many UK universities include IGCSE grades in their conditional offers), and build the academic foundation that determines every step afterwards. A single C grade in IGCSE Maths can quietly close doors that should have stayed open.
How Times Edu is different
We assign one dedicated mentor per student — usually a CIE-registered examiner or a specialist with a 10+ year track record teaching the exact syllabus your child is sitting. No rotating tutors. No generic worksheets. Every lesson is built around your child's most recent mock paper.
Every core A-Level subject. Specialist mentors only.
From Further Maths and Physics to Economics and English Literature — we match your child to a subject specialist, not a generalist.

From AS to final A2.

AS mastery
Weekly content delivery, past-paper drills, AS mock series and feedback.
A2 content
New topics, synoptic links back to AS, extended-response technique.
Final sprint
Full mocks, predicted-grade review, UCAS / university application support.
Four principles that define every Times Edu lesson.
Our coaching philosophy has been shaped by seven years of teaching IGCSE students inside international schools across Vietnam.
Syllabus-first
Every lesson maps directly to a numbered learning objective in the official Cambridge or Edexcel syllabus.
Past-paper driven
We do not teach from textbooks alone. Real past papers from the last 8 years anchor every session.
Examiner feedback
Every homework is marked against the real mark scheme — with examiner commentary your child can actually use.
Parent visibility
Monthly progress reports, grade predictions and a dedicated WhatsApp channel with your child's mentor.
What our IGCSE students actually achieve.
Two A*s in Maths and Further Maths, plus an A in Physics. Imperial College was the goal and Times Edu got us there. Our mentor's past-paper library alone was worth the fee.
My son needed A*A*A for Cambridge Engineering. Times Edu planned every week of A2 for us — and we got the offer. Beyond grateful.
A in Economics and A in Business — both subjects I was failing a year ago. Times Edu rebuilt my understanding from the ground up.
Everything you want to ask before starting.
Still have questions? Book a free 60-minute diagnostic and our academic advisor will answer every one.
Can you support both Cambridge International A-Level and Edexcel International A-Level?
Yes. We teach both specifications and will match your child's mentor to the exact board and syllabus their school is following. In most subjects the content overlaps 80%+, but the paper structure and marking differ — and our mentors know both.
Can my child switch from IB Diploma to A-Level mid-way?
It is possible but needs careful planning. We have helped several students make this transition. Book a free diagnostic and we will advise honestly on whether the switch makes sense for your child's target universities.
How many subjects should my child take at A-Level?
Most UK universities require three A-Levels for admission, with four being common for top applicants to Oxbridge, Imperial or medicine. We will recommend a subject combination based on your child's university and career goals.
How much does A-Level tutoring cost?
Our signature 1:1 A-Level mentoring starts from $75 per 90-minute session, reflecting the seniority of our subject specialists. Multi-subject packages include a discount. Full details on our Tuition page.
Do you help with UCAS applications and university choices?
Yes. Every Times Edu A-Level student receives university application support as part of their package — personal statement review, predicted-grade strategy, and university-list calibration based on realistic target offers.
Can you tutor students fully online?
Yes. Around half of our A-Level students study fully online via our custom platform with live 1:1 video, shared whiteboards, and recorded replays. We teach students in Hanoi, Da Nang, Singapore, the UAE and the UK.
From AS to offer letter — we walk it with you.
Your child's free 60-minute A-Level diagnostic includes a subject-by-subject gap analysis, a grade prediction and a term-by-term roadmap through to final A2. Worth $60 — free for the first 50 families this intake.
