One-to-one support so your child can close gaps, build confidence, and improve results.
What families say
“Jonathan has been an exceptional tutor for both Physics and Mathematics. His engineering background really shows in the way he teaches mechanics, forces, calculus, and problem-solving. He doesn’t just go through the syllabus, he ensures concepts are fully understood and applied correctly under exam conditions. We’ve seen clear improvement in confidence and test results in both subjects.”
“Mahgol has been an amazing tutor for Tim in Computer Applications Technology (CAT). She is incredibly caring, patient, and super smart, and her lessons have helped Tim feel much more confident with coding and programming concepts. She communicates clearly with her, and has made learning CAT more enjoyable for my daughter. ”

What you need to know about Cambridge IGCSE
What you need to know and how we support your child
Cambridge IGCSE offers over 70 subjects, including 30 languages, and schools can offer them in any combination. The curriculum develops subject knowledge and skills in applying knowledge to new and familiar situations, creative thinking, enquiry, problem solving, and working in English - with an international outlook and local relevance. It is a springboard to advanced study (Cambridge International AS and A Level). At Global Tutors we specialise in Cambridge IGCSE and support students through syllabus coverage, past papers, and exam technique. Our team selects a tutor who fits your child's needs.
Our tutors specialise in Cambridge IGCSE and align every session to your child's curriculum and assessment objectives so your child can achieve their best.
Whether your child is working towards IGCSE, O Level, AS, or A Level, our tutors map their teaching to your child's specific Cambridge IGCSE syllabus and exam series. Cambridge International emphasises applying knowledge to new situations and clear communication; we help your child build those skills through structured revision, worked examples, and timed practice. Many students benefit from starting support a term or more before exams.
Our tutors use official Cambridge International resources where appropriate: syllabus overviews, past papers, examiner reports, specimen papers, marking schemes, and Example Candidate Responses. One-to-one sessions let your child concentrate on the topics they find hardest and move at a pace that suits them.
We use the same resource types Cambridge International provides so your child knows what examiners expect.
What we offer
1-on-1 sessions tailored to your child's level and curriculum
Qualified tutors with curriculum and exam-board experience
Flexible scheduling to suit your calendar and timezone
Past papers and exam technique aligned to your child's board
Support for internal assessments and coursework where applicable
What we cover
What we cover for Cambridge IGCSE
Curriculum-aligned content and skills we build with your child
Syllabus coverage
intermediate · core
Content aligned to your child's Cambridge International Cambridge IGCSE syllabus (e.g. IGCSE, O Level, AS, A Level). We follow the learning objectives and use the syllabus overview and official resources so your child covers what will be assessed.
Past papers, examiner reports and specimen papers
exam · core
Regular practice with past papers and specimen materials. We use examiner reports, marking schemes and Example Candidate Responses so your child sees what examiners reward and how to avoid common mistakes.
Application and problem-solving
intermediate · core
Cambridge IGCSE develops applying knowledge to new and familiar situations and intellectual enquiry. We work through structured problems and extended questions so your child builds the skills the syllabus requires.
Coursework and practical components
intermediate · supplement
Support for practicals, coursework, or school-based assessment where these form part of your qualification. We help with method, analysis, and writing up.
Revision and consolidation
intro · core
Structured revision of core concepts before moving to exam-style practice. We use learner guides and revision techniques that suit your subject.
Extended and optional content
advanced · optional
Coverage of harder or optional modules where your child needs them, so they can aim for the highest grades with confidence.
Common mistakes
Common Mistakes
And how working with a private online tutor can help your child avoid them
Answering the question you expected rather than the one set.
We practise interrogating the question: identifying key terms, command words, and scope so your child's answer stays on track.
Vague or general answers without specific evidence or examples.
We work on selecting and integrating precise evidence, quotes, or data so your child's arguments are well supported.
Weak structure: no clear introduction, development, or conclusion.
We use plans and outlines so your child builds a clear argument. We practise timed essays so structure becomes automatic.
Poor time management: spending too long on one part and rushing the rest.
We allocate time per section in past papers and practise under exam conditions so your child learns to pace themselves.
In coursework or IAs: unclear methodology or insufficient critical reflection.
We help your child plan methods and reflection so their work meets the criteria. We guide planning and feedback, but we do not write or complete assessed work for the student.
Not reading the mark scheme so your child misses what examiners reward.
We use mark schemes and example responses so your child sees exactly how marks are awarded and what to include.
Study strategy
Study plan and exam strategy for Cambridge IGCSE
A clear path from your syllabus or specification to exam day
Throughout the course
Syllabus coverage and core concepts
Work through the syllabus systematically with clear explanations and examples. Cambridge International emphasises applying knowledge to new situations, so we build understanding before drilling exam-style questions. Use the syllabus and learner guides to track progress.
From at least one term before exams
Past papers and marking schemes
Practise with past papers and specimen materials under timed conditions. Use Example Candidate Responses and marking schemes to see what examiners reward. Identify question types and command words so your child knows what each question is asking.
Mid to late revision
Application and problem-solving
Focus on applying concepts to unfamiliar contexts. We work through harder problems and extended questions so your child develops the skills the syllabus specifies. This is where many marks are won or lost.
Weeks before the exam
Final revision and exam technique
Consolidate weak areas and do full past papers under exam conditions. Practise time allocation and question selection. Avoid cramming; focus on understanding and technique.
Tactics
- Use Cambridge past papers and marking schemes as the core of your revision.
- Read the question carefully and identify command words (describe, explain, evaluate, etc.).
- Practise under timed conditions to build pace and confidence.
- Use Example Candidate Responses to see the standard expected.
- Revise in blocks (e.g. 50 minutes) with short breaks to maintain focus.
Recommended approach
Cambridge International recommends a mix of syllabus coverage, past papers, and active revision. Start with a clear map of the syllabus and your child's strengths and gaps.
Use past papers and marking schemes early so you know what will be tested and how marks are awarded. Active recall (e.g. your child testing themselves, flashcards) tends to work better than passive re-reading.
In the final weeks, prioritise timed practice and exam technique: question interpretation, structure, and time management. Get enough sleep and avoid last-minute cramming.
Our tutors can tailor this to your subject and level (IGCSE, AS, A Level) and focus on the topics and question types your child finds hardest.
