Live 1:1 & pairs IGCSE preparation
IGCSE Online Tutoring: Live Small Classes
One teacher, one student, one clear plan for the exam
IGCSE covers a lot of content in two years, and the exam rewards students who can apply ideas, not just recall them. Our live IGCSE classes, 1:1 or in pairs, follow your child's own syllabus and school pace, close the gaps from earlier years, and build steady exam technique well before the final papers.

How our IGCSE preparation works
- 1
Start with a diagnostic
The first classes find out exactly which IGCSE topics are secure and which are not, so no time is spent on what your child already knows.
- 2
Teach the concept, then the exam
Each weak topic is taught properly first. Only then do we move to exam-style questions, so marks come from understanding and not from memorised steps.
- 3
Practise with real question styles
Students work through past-paper style questions, learn how marks are awarded, and practise writing answers the way examiners expect.
- 4
Timed practice and review
Closer to the exam, classes include timed sections. Every mistake is reviewed and sorted: a gap in knowledge, a misread question, or a timing problem.
- 5
Parents stay informed
After each class you can see what was covered and what comes next, so you always know how preparation is going.

| Start of Year 11 | Finish the syllabus early, then begin regular past-paper style practice. |
| Three to four months before exams | Topic-wise revision, timed papers and focused work on the weakest areas. |
| Final weeks | Full timed papers, review of repeated mistakes and calm exam strategy. |
