Why IGCSE needs the right tutor

IGCSE is the first set of exams that follows a student for the rest of their education, and it is sat by students in over 150 countries. Grades decide sixth-form and college options, and the volume of subjects makes it easy for one or two to slip.

What makes IGCSE hard to prepare for alone

Students sit eight or more IGCSEs at once, each with its own content and exam technique to manage. Teaching quality and class sizes vary widely between international schools, and families who have moved country mid-course often arrive on a different board or partway through a syllabus. A weak topic rarely gets the individual attention it needs before the exam.

  • Eight or more subjects sat at once
  • Marks decided by technique, not recall
  • Grade 4 and 5 thresholds in English and Maths

How tutoring changes the outcome

One-to-one tutoring targets the two things a classroom cannot: exam technique and the specific topics a student keeps getting wrong. Our tutors work to your syllabus code, whether that is Cambridge or Edexcel International, and mark work the way an examiner would. Confidence follows from that, not the other way round.

  • Tutors matched to your school’s specification
  • Targeted work on areas of weakness
  • Confidence going into the exam

What does IGCSE involve?

IGCSEs are the international version of GCSEs, taken at the end of secondary school, usually at 16. They are taught in over 150 countries by international and independent schools, set mainly by Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel International, and recognised by universities and schools worldwide in exactly the same way as UK GCSEs. Here's how the qualification works.

01

How IGCSEs work

Students take around eight to ten subjects over two years, usually Year 10 and Year 11. English, Maths and Science form the core, with the remaining subjects chosen from option blocks. Schools have more freedom than in the UK system over which subjects they offer and when students sit them.

  • Around eight to ten subjects
  • Two years: Year 10 and Year 11
  • English, Maths and Science compulsory
  • Subject offering varies by school
02

How you're assessed

IGCSEs are marked by the exam board, not by teachers, and the grade rests on written exams. Cambridge IGCSEs are graded A* to G, while Pearson Edexcel International uses the 9 to 1 scale, so which scale you are working to depends on your board. Some subjects add a practical or spoken element.

  • Externally examined, not teacher-marked
  • Mainly final written exams
  • Practical or spoken element in some subjects
  • A*–G on Cambridge, 9–1 on Edexcel
03

Why they matter

IGCSE grades decide which A-Levels or IB subjects a student can take, and which sixth forms and colleges will accept them, with most courses setting minimum grades in English and Maths. Because they are recognised internationally, they also travel with a student who changes school system or country. Getting them right keeps every later option open.

  • Decide which A-Levels or IB subjects you can take
  • Recognised by schools and universities worldwide
  • English and Maths required by most courses
  • Travel with you if you change country

Exam boards we cover

Each exam board sets its own papers and mark schemes. Tell us yours and we'll match you with a tutor who teaches that exact specification.

Will my child get 9–1 or A*–G?

Both are in use, which is a common source of confusion. Cambridge IGCSEs are traditionally graded A*–G, though 9–1 is now offered on some syllabuses. Pearson Edexcel International has moved to 9–1 across the board. Check the syllabus code on your child's timetable. It tells you which scale applies, and your tutor will work to it.

Sitting UK GCSEs instead?

If your school follows AQA, OCR, Pearson Edexcel or WJEC, you are sitting UK GCSEs rather than IGCSEs. The teaching overlaps heavily, but the papers and grading differ. See GCSE tutoring.

Core or Extended: which tier is your child entered for?

In Maths, the Sciences and modern languages, students are entered for one of two tiers. The tier decides which paper they sit and caps the grade available, so it is the single most important thing to confirm before tutoring starts.

Cambridge · Core

Core tier

Covers the essential syllabus content. Grades are capped, so the top grades are not available on this tier. Edexcel International calls the equivalent Foundation.

  • Essential syllabus content only
  • Top grades not available
  • Called Foundation on Edexcel International
Cambridge · Extended

Extended tier

Covers the full syllabus and gives access to the top grades. Harder papers, and the tier required for most A-Level and IB courses. Edexcel International calls the equivalent Higher.

  • Full syllabus, harder papers
  • Top grades available
  • Usually required for A-Level or IB

Students entered for Core who are aiming at A-Level often need to move up a tier. Tell us at enquiry and we will build the plan around closing that gap.

What does sitting IGCSEs involve?

IGCSEs are a two year process of learning content with exams at the end. The exact shape depends on your subject and the exam board.

01

Format and structure

Most IGCSE subjects are assessed by two or three written papers. Maths, Science and modern languages are tiered, with core and extended papers covering different grade ranges. IGCSE sciences commonly use an alternative-to-practical written paper rather than assessed practical work, and IGCSEs carry less coursework overall than UK GCSEs. Which route applies depends on what your school has entered you for.

  • Typically two or three written papers
  • Question types vary by subject and board
  • Core and extended tiers in several subjects
  • Alternative-to-practical paper in sciences
02

Timing and marking

Papers usually run between 1 and 2 hours. Marking is done externally by the exam board, and grades are awarded against boundaries set for each series rather than a fixed percentage. On tiered subjects, the tier a student is entered for caps the grade available.

  • Papers commonly 1 to 2 hours
  • Externally marked by the exam board
  • Grade boundaries set each year
  • A*–G or 9–1, depending on your board
03

Where and when it's sat

IGCSEs run in more than one series a year, which gives students more flexibility over when they sit a subject and when they resit. Exams are normally taken at the school teaching the course; private candidates register with an approved international exam centre themselves. Entries close months in advance, so the timetable is worth checking early.

  • More than one exam series each year
  • Results published on a set date
  • Entries close months in advance
  • Private candidates use an approved international centre
See the detail for your board

How we prepare you for IGCSE

The first session is about understanding where the student is now. The tutor discusses goals with the student and parent, sets measurable outcomes, and develops a roadmap with them. From there, lessons follow a cycle: identify the gaps, work through problems together, then hand over to independent practice, revisiting topics in later sessions until they hold.

01

Key skills tutors focus on

Content knowledge is the starting point, not the goal. IGCSE papers reward applying what you know to something you have not seen before, and saying it in the words the mark scheme is looking for. Those are trainable skills, and they move faster than content.

  • Reading the command word and answering the question asked
  • Applying a known method to an unfamiliar context
  • Structuring extended answers so every mark is earned
  • Working accurately under exam timing
02

Materials and practice used

Practice comes from real past papers for your board, marked against the official mark scheme. Lessons run on a shared online whiteboard, so worked solutions are saved and can be revisited between sessions, wherever the student is based. Closer to the exam, papers are sat under full timed conditions.

  • Past papers and mark schemes for your syllabus code
  • Timed papers under exam conditions
  • Examiner-style feedback on written work
  • Session notes saved after every lesson
03

Common mistakes we help students avoid

Most lost marks are predictable. Students revise by rereading rather than answering questions, write everything they know instead of what was asked, and leave the long-answer questions until there is no time left. Each one is fixable well before the exam.

  • Revising content instead of practising questions
  • Ignoring the wording of the mark scheme
  • Leaving long-answer questions until last
  • Never sitting a full paper against the clock

IGCSE tutoring FAQs

We have answers to your most frequently asked questions. Anything not answered here, please reach out to our team.

Do your GCSE tutors teach both Foundation and Higher tier?

Yes. Our GCSE tutors teach both tiers in every tiered subject, including Maths, the sciences and languages. They also teach Cambridge IGCSE Core and Extended, and OxfordAQA Core and Extension. Tell us which tier your child is entered for when you enquire, and we will match a tutor who knows those papers.

Can a tutor help if we've moved country or changed IGCSE board?

Yes. Families who move mid-course often arrive on a different exam board or partway through a syllabus. An IGCSE tutor maps what's already been covered against the new syllabus, fills the gaps and teaches to the new board's exam format.

What is the difference between IGCSE and GCSE?

IGCSEs are the international version of GCSEs. They're taught in over 150 countries and recognised in exactly the same way by universities and schools. Schools have more freedom over which subjects they offer. Cambridge IGCSEs are graded A* to G, and Pearson Edexcel International uses the 9 to 1 scale. Looking for UK GCSEs? See online GCSE tutoring.

Which IGCSE exam boards do your tutors teach?

Our IGCSE tutors teach the two main international boards: Cambridge International (CIE), Pearson Edexcel International and OxfordAQA International. Tutors work to your syllabus code, so lessons follow exactly what your school teaches and the way your exam is marked.

How does online IGCSE tutoring work?

Tell us your subject, exam board and syllabus in our online form. A Learning Advisor matches you with an IGCSE tutor who teaches that syllabus in your time zone, and the tutor contacts you to book the first lesson. All lessons are one-to-one in our virtual classroom. See how it works.

How much does GCSE tutoring cost?

Online GCSE and IGCSE tutoring with an academic tutor starts from $50 USD (£38) per hour. You can pay as you go, invoiced after each lesson, or buy a package upfront and save between 5% and 15% depending on its size. There are no lock-in contracts or hidden fees. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $75 USD (£56) per hour. See our GCSE tutoring prices.

Late cancellations and no-shows are charged at half the lesson fee. That applies if you cancel less than one hour before the start time, or don't turn up. You can still change a session time whenever you need to, as long as you give your tutor notice.

Can online A-Level tutoring fit around my time zone?

Yes. We tutor students studying UK and international A-Levels and IGCSEs in many countries. Your availability and time zone are recorded when you apply, and you're only matched with a tutor who can teach at times that suit you. You then agree a regular weekly slot that fits around school.

Can parents see what was covered in each lesson?

Yes. After every lesson, the tutor logs what was covered and what comes next, and the notes are visible to the family.

How quickly can I be matched with a tutor?

A Learning Advisor reviews every application the same day it comes in. Once a suitable tutor is confirmed, they contact you directly to arrange your first lesson. Matching is based on subject, exam board, target grade and availability, including your time zone.

Is there a free trial?

We don't offer a free trial. Instead, every student gets our first session satisfaction guarantee: if you're not happy after your first lesson, we refund it in full and find you another tutor at no cost. See our pricing for what's included.
