Why Salmiya students
A-Level Economics in Salmiya is dominated by New English School (NES) on Cambridge International 9709/9701/9702/9700 codes and by British School of Kuwait (BSK) in Salwa which runs Cambridge International A-Level alongside its IB Diploma. English School Salmiya (ESS) and Kuwait National English School (KNES) feed the same Cambridge route. The defining pressure is the NES Mock Week in January-February — sat in full Cambridge conditions, marked to the published examiner grade boundaries — which sets Predicted Grades for UCAS. Add the Gulf Road commute from Salmiya Sea Side and Salwa Boulevard to school sites, Kuwait Liberation Day (26 Feb) cutting straight through the mock window, and Ramadan's 3-hour timetable, and revision time evaporates. Our Salmiya A-Level Economics tutors are CIE-paper specialists, often examiners, who rebuild Paper 2 and Paper 4 application technique against the NES/BSK schemes of work and Kuwait MoE term dates.

Exam boards we cover
The standard A-Level route for Salmiya families at NES, ESS, KNES and BSK Salwa — Cambridge 9709/9701/9702/9700 codes pace UCAS Predicted Grades via the NES January Mock Week. Linear AS + A2 structure with strong international university recognition.
Used by some Salmiya British curriculum schools. Modular structure means students can resit individual units — useful for Salmiya students balancing UCAS and US applications.
Smaller uptake, but offered by some schools serving Salmiya families repatriating to the UK.

What we fix
How we fix it:Kuwait MoE drops school hours to roughly three hours during Ramadan and pauses for Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha. We front-load Economics content before Ramadan starts, hold lighter consolidation sessions during the shortened week, and run intensive Eid catch-up blocks evenings on Kuwait time (AST, GMT+3) for NES, ASK and BSK students.
How we fix it:The 25-26 February public-holiday block sits directly inside NES January-February Mock Week and the BSK mid-year diet. We rebuild the Economics revision calendar around that holiday — adding pre-holiday timed past-paper sessions and a post-holiday mock-correction block — so Salmiya students don't lose the week to the long weekend.
How we fix it:New English School runs Mock Week in full Cambridge conditions and uses the marks to set UCAS Predicted Grades, while ASK and UAS students lose May to the CollegeBoard AP window. We deliver a 6-8 week Economics prep block of full timed Cambridge 9709/9700-style papers (or AP free-response question sets), marked against the live examiner reports.
How we fix it:It is normal in Salmiya for one sibling to be on Cambridge IGCSE at NES while another is on AP at ASK or IB DP at BBS. We hold separate Economics progress notes per child and per board, so a single weekly parent summary covers Cambridge 0580 + AP + IB DP without the tutor mixing rubrics.
How we fix it:The Gulf Road and Fifth Ring Road commute from Salmiya Sea Side and Block 11/12 to ASK (Hawally), BSK (Salwa), AIS (Salwa) and UAS (Khaldiya) easily costs an hour each way at peak. All Economics lessons are online 1-to-1 in Kuwait time so the student is at the desk the moment they're home, not stuck behind Salem Al Mubarak Street traffic.
Why Combo Tutors
NES gets a Cambridge 0580 / 9709 examiner-trained Economics specialist; English School Salmiya the same Cambridge route; BSK a tutor fluent in both Cambridge International and IB DP; BBS an IB DP HL/SL Economics specialist; ASK, UAS and GEMS American Academy a CollegeBoard American-curriculum tutor who drills MCQ + FRQ to the published rubric.
Every Economics plan is paced around Ramadan's 3-hour school day, Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha, Kuwait National Day (25 Feb), Liberation Day (26 Feb), the NES January Mock Week and the May AP / May IB exam windows — lessons online in Kuwait time (AST, GMT+3), evenings and weekends.
Every Salmiya Economics session uses live Cambridge International (0580/9709/9701/9702/9700), Edexcel IAL, IB DP or CollegeBoard AP past papers with the published mark schemes and examiner reports — the same documents NES, BSK, ASK and BBS staff mark against.
Mrs Fatma Al-Sabah
A-Level Economics · New English School (NES) Salmiya · Cambridge International
My son was on the NES Cambridge track and his A-Level Economics mock landed below his Predicted Grade right before the Liberation Day weekend. The Combo Tutors tutor rebuilt his Paper 2 technique against the 9709 examiner reports — he sat the final exam two grades higher.
Mr Walid Khoury
A-Level Economics · BSK Salwa (IB DP) + ASK Hawally (AP) · siblings
We live in Block 11 Salmiya, my daughter is at BSK Salwa on the IB DP and my son is at ASK Hawally on AP. Combo Tutors gave us two specialist Economics tutors — one IB, one CollegeBoard — on one weekly summary. Saved us the Gulf Road commute and the rubric confusion.
Dr Sarah Cole
A-Level Economics · English School Salmiya (ESS) · Cambridge IGCSE 0580
We moved to Salmiya Sea Side mid-year from the UK and ESS placed our daughter into Cambridge IGCSE Economics with gaps. Her Combo Tutors tutor diagnosed them in week one and closed them before the January mock cycle — through Ramadan and Eid.
Yousef A., NES Year 13
A-Level Economics · New English School (NES) Salmiya · Cambridge International 9709
I was the only one in my NES Year 13 cohort aiming for an A* in Cambridge Economics. My tutor ran me through every recent 9709 Paper 4 and walked the mark scheme line by line — including the week of Kuwait National Day.
Sarah M.
Parent of IB Student · London
My daughter was struggling with IB Mathematics HL and had almost given up hope of getting a 7. After just two months of weekly sessions with her Combo Tutors tutor, her confidence soared and she went from a predicted 4 to a final grade of 6. The personalised approach made all the difference—her tutor identified exactly where the gaps were and worked through them systematically.
James P.
Parent of A-Level Student · Manchester
My son started tutoring for A-Level Physics about three months before his exams. His tutor was incredibly patient and broke down complex topics like electromagnetic induction into simple, intuitive steps. He ended up getting an A* which we genuinely didn't think was possible. I'd recommend Combo Tutors to any parent who wants a tutor that actually cares about your child's progress.
A-Level Economics in Salmiya
New English School sits Cambridge International for A-Level Economics — Cambridge IGCSE 0580/0625/0610-series at IGCSE and Cambridge International 9709/9701/9702/9700 at A-Level. Our NES-matched tutors work directly off those codes, the published examiner reports and the NES Mock Week marking standard.
Yes. ASK in Hawally is one of our largest Salmiya-area cohorts. Our AP Economics tutors are CollegeBoard-trained, drill the May AP exam MCQ + FRQ rubric, and pace the year around the ASK quarterly assessments and the May AP window. We also cover UAS, GEMS American Academy, AIS Salwa and KNES on the same AP track.
Multi-board households are the Salmiya norm. We assign one tutor per child — a Cambridge specialist for the NES sibling on A-Level Economics and a CollegeBoard AP specialist for the ASK sibling — and consolidate into one weekly parent summary and one billing line, so the rubrics never get mixed.
Yes. We pre-book lighter consolidation slots through the Ramadan 3-hour school timetable, pause for Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha, and replan A-Level Economics mock-prep around the 25 February Kuwait National Day and 26 February Liberation Day long weekend that cuts through NES Mock Week.
Yes. Al Bayan Bilingual School (BBS) in Hawally and British School of Kuwait (BSK) in Salwa are the two IB DP anchors for Salmiya families. Our IB tutors are matched by HL/SL track, work to the current IB subject guide, support the Internal Assessment and pace revision to the May session.
