Sound Familiar?
Is This Your Child?
Gets the right answer but loses marks because working is incomplete or unclear
Can solve standard questions but freezes when the question looks different from practice
Doesn’t know whether to use sine rule or cosine rule, factorising or the quadratic formula — can’t identify the right method
In Science, knows definitions but struggles with “explain” and “compare” questions
Makes the same “careless” mistakes repeatedly — but they’re not actually careless, they’re skill gaps
Our Method
How We Teach IGCSE
IGCSE is method-mark heavy. The mark scheme rewards visible thinking — correct method steps, proper units, precise scientific vocabulary, and structured answers. We train all of this systematically.
Our process
Step 1: Diagnostic
We test the foundations that IGCSE depends on — not just the current topic. Many Grade 9 IGCSE struggles trace back to weak algebra, ratio reasoning, or graph skills from earlier years.
Step 2: Teach for Understanding, Then Train for Marks
We don’t start with past papers. We start with concept models — why something works, not just how to do it. Once understanding is solid, we layer exam technique on top: mark scheme awareness, command word discipline, and structured answer writing.
Step 3: Deliberate Practice
We don’t assign “20 questions on one topic.” We use a deliberate practice system:
- •6 questions on the new skill (build accuracy)
- •Then 6 mixed questions from earlier topics (build selection skill — “which method do I use?”)
This mirrors the actual exam, where questions mix topics.
Step 4: Error Classification
After every practice set, students classify their errors:
- •Knowledge gap (didn’t know the concept)
- •Misconception (thought they knew, but wrong)
- •Process error (right concept, wrong execution)
- •Careless (knew everything, slipped up)
Each type has a different fix. We don’t treat all errors the same.
The Difference
What Makes Our IGCSE Teaching Different
Cambridge marks every step. A correct answer with wrong working gets zero. We don’t just teach concepts — we teach how to present solutions in the exact format Cambridge rewards. We also help students and parents make the Core vs Extended decision — Extended opens more doors but requires stronger foundations. We prepare students for both calculator (Paper 2/4) and non-calculator (Paper 1/3) components.
Command words matter. IGCSE Science examiners expect specific response styles:
- •State: one correct line, no explanation
- •Describe: what happens (trend/pattern)
- •Explain: cause-effect reasoning (because... therefore...)
- •Compare: both sides + comparative language (“greater than,” “more/less”)
- •Calculate: formula → substitution → answer with units
Students who don’t match their answer style to the command word lose marks even when they know the content.
Core vs Extended: IGCSE Maths has two tiers. Extended covers more topics and reaches grades A*–E. Core covers fewer topics for grades C–G. We help students and parents make the right choice — the diagnostic informs this decision.
Cambridge vs Edexcel: Both are IGCSE, but the exam style differs slightly. We adapt our practice materials to match whichever board your child’s school follows.
Practical skills in Science: Even if your child doesn’t do practical exams, they must master: identifying variables, planning fair tests, interpreting graphs, evaluating experiments, and suggesting improvements. These are tested on theory papers.
What We Fix
Common Gaps We Fix
Maths
- Problem type recognition — can’t classify “is this factorise, complete the square, or quadratic formula?”
- Trigonometry — right triangle vs sine/cosine rule confusion
- Graph interpretation — gradient, intercept, area under curve
- Geometry — angle chase + giving reasons (reasons are marks in IGCSE too)
- Mathematical communication — equals signs used incorrectly, messy notation, no units
Science
- “Explain” answers that are actually “describe” answers — no causal reasoning
- Variable identification in experiments — can state them but can’t justify controls
- Graph skills — choosing scale, labelling axes, drawing best-fit line, interpreting gradient
- Misconceptions treated as facts — “force causes motion,” “current is used up,” “atoms vs molecules vs ions”
- Calculation structure — missing formula statement, missing units, missing substitution step
Day 1
The Diagnostic
IGCSE-specific diagnostic covering:
- •Foundational maths skills (algebra, ratio, graphs, geometry)
- •Science concept baselines (aligned to your child’s specific IGCSE subjects)
- •Method and presentation habits (do they show working naturally, or skip steps?)
45–60 minutes. Independent. Then we solve every question together — teaching starts on Day 1.

What We Teach
Subjects & Grades
IGCSE Mathematics: Grades 9–10 (Core and Extended)
IGCSE Additional Mathematics: Grade 10 (for students taking Add Maths)
IGCSE Physics: Grades 9–10
IGCSE Chemistry: Grades 9–10
IGCSE Biology: Grades 9–10
Small batches of 3–5 students. Online, offline, and hybrid. We work with students internationally.
Papers covered: Core (Papers 1 & 3), Extended (Papers 2 & 4).
Exam boards: Cambridge (0580), Edexcel.
SAT/Pre-SAT readiness: IGCSE Maths builds strong algebraic and data interpretation skills that directly support SAT preparation. We align practice for students planning these tests.

FAQ
Common Questions from IGCSE Parents
Quick answers to common questions.
The diagnostic gives us a clear answer. If your child is comfortable with Extended-level foundations, Extended is the better choice (wider grade range, more university flexibility). If foundations are shaky, Core with strong performance may be smarter than Extended with a low grade. We’ll advise honestly.
Yes. We work with both Cambridge and Edexcel IGCSE. The core content overlaps significantly — the main differences are in exam structure and question style. We adapt practice accordingly.
Yes. IGCSE Additional Maths is important for students planning A-Levels or IB DP Maths AA. We teach it as preparation for the next level, not just another exam to pass.
IGCSE Science theory papers test practical skills — variables, experimental design, graph interpretation, evaluation. We build these skills through structured exercises even without lab access. Students learn to think like experimenters, which is what the exam actually tests.
It depends on how well the IGCSE foundation is built. A strong IGCSE with deep understanding prepares students well. A strong IGCSE built on past-paper drilling without understanding creates problems at A-Level. That’s exactly the gap we focus on closing.
