Quick answer: Velocity Tuition Academy gives students in Riyadh and across Saudi Arabia live online one to one lessons for IGCSE, A-Level and IB (MYP and Diploma), plus Digital SAT preparation for US applications. Tutors specialise in Cambridge (CAIE), Pearson Edexcel or IB, lessons run in Saudi time around the Sunday to Thursday week, and the first lesson is a free diagnostic.
Riyadh is the largest city in Saudi Arabia and home to a substantial and well-established international school community. Families from across the UK, Pakistan, India, the wider Arab world, and other expat communities have settled in Riyadh for decades, and their children attend international schools running Cambridge CAIE IGCSE and A-Level programmes as their primary route to UK and international universities.
One of the most important practical differences for Riyadh students is the Saudi school week — Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend. This is a significant scheduling consideration. Our sessions for Riyadh students are built specifically around this timetable, with evening slots available Sunday through Thursday and Saturday availability for students who need weekend sessions.
The expat community in Riyadh has a strong culture of private tutoring, particularly for IGCSE Maths, Physics, and Chemistry. Families who have moved from the UK or Pakistan often look for tutors who know both the Cambridge mark scheme and the level of explanation required at each grade boundary. That specificity is what Velocity Tuition Academy provides.
Saudi Arabia also has a growing number of families who home-educate their children and prepare them for IGCSE as private candidates. For these students, Velocity Tuition Academy builds the full syllabus from first principles — covering every topic with structured sessions and past paper preparation, exactly as a school would.

Our tutors know how Riyadh's British and international schools schedule assessments and pace their courses through the year.
Questions, timetable changes and monthly progress notes all run through WhatsApp, the app Riyadh families already use.
Many Riyadh families come from the UK, Pakistan and South Asia. We teach Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel IGCSE, A-Level and IB in full, including Cambridge IGCSE Urdu as a Second Language (0539) and A-Level Urdu.
Riyadh has one of the largest international school communities in the Gulf, with many schools teaching Cambridge, Edexcel or IB courses. We teach their students, and private candidates, using lessons built on each board.
Riyadh students aiming for US universities, including those supported by Saudi study-abroad scholarships, often prepare for the Digital SAT during school. Our lessons use Bluebook-format tests, Desmos practice and full timed papers in Saudi time.
A number of expat families in Riyadh — particularly those who have moved between countries or left school partway through a qualification — educate their children at home and prepare them for Cambridge IGCSE as private candidates.
For these students, Velocity Tuition Academy provides complete syllabus coverage from first principles, with every topic taught one to one alongside homework, short checks and past paper practice.
The Saudi school week and local exam session timing are factored into every preparation plan. We build the programme around October/November or May/June Cambridge exam series depending on the student's readiness and goals.
WhatsApp us, Sunday to Thursday, with the subject, board, current level and exam series and we will suggest a starting plan.
A free first lesson to measure your child's level, find the gaps and plan around the exam date, with no commitment.
Sessions are built around the Riyadh school timetable — evening slots Sun–Thu and Saturday availability.

Guides for Riyadh parents and students, each checked against the official Cambridge, Pearson and IB sources.
Yes. A Riyadh student who is not at school can sit IGCSE as a private candidate, entered through the British Council in Saudi Arabia or a school that takes external candidates. The entry deadline, months before the exam, is what to plan around.
In Riyadh most candidates sit Cambridge in May/June or October/November. The final Cambridge entry dates are 21 February for June and 16 August for November, and centres often close before then. Pearson Edexcel International GCSE runs May/June and November, and International A Level adds a January series for students wanting an extra attempt.
Riyadh exam centres may set earlier internal deadlines than the board and can refuse external candidates, so check with them early. Our private candidate guide explains documents and steps, and the IGCSE exam dates page lists each session.
Riyadh students aiming for US universities often sit the Digital SAT alongside IGCSE, A-Level or IB. The test runs on College Board's Bluebook app at approved centres on the worldwide weekends, with 2027 sittings on 6 March, 1 May and 5 June 2027 (College Board dates and deadlines).
Riyadh students can study for the Digital SAT one to one or in a small group of 3 to 5, starting with a diagnostic so lessons focus on the questions they get wrong. A target score is something to work towards, not a guarantee, and it depends on attending and practising.
Tell us the subject, board and exam series and we will set out what the preparation should cover from your child's current level.
