Who are the tutors for IGCSE?
Our tutors are qualified educators with experience in IGCSE. We match you with someone who fits your child's level, goals, and schedule. All tutors are vetted and supported by Global Tutors. You can see tutor profiles and specialisms when you search so you choose someone aligned to your child's curriculum and subject.
How are IGCSE sessions delivered?
Sessions are delivered on our interactive online learning platform. Your child can learn from home or anywhere with a stable internet connection. We use a dedicated platform designed for one-to-one learning so your child can focus on the lesson. Your child will need a device with a camera and microphone; many students use a laptop or tablet. No special software is required beyond the link we send you.
How does IGCSE tutoring match the Cambridge International syllabus?
We align teaching to your child's specific Cambridge International syllabus (e.g. IGCSE Mathematics 0580, Chemistry 0620, A Level Physics 9702). Our tutors use the syllabus overview, past papers, examiner reports, specimen papers, and marking schemes. Cambridge International emphasises applying knowledge to new situations and clear communication; we practise the question types and assessment objectives so you know what examiners look for.
How do I get matched with an IGCSE tutor?
We hand pick the best tutor for your child's needs. Tell us your child's subject, level, curriculum (e.g. IB (International Baccalaureate), Cambridge, IEB), and goals (e.g. exam prep, coursework help, or general support). We recommend a tutor and you book your child's first lesson. If the fit is not right, our Fit-First Guarantee lets you request a replacement so you can try another tutor for your child at no extra cost.
What if the first IGCSE tutor is not the right fit?
We offer a Fit-First Guarantee: if your child's first lesson is not the right match, we'll replace your child's tutor - no questions asked. The replacement must be for the same subject and curriculum. This way you can focus on finding the right tutor without worrying about commitment after one session.
Do you use official Cambridge International resources for IGCSE?
Where appropriate, yes. We use past papers, examiner reports, specimen papers, marking schemes, and Example Candidate Responses - the same resource types Cambridge International provides per subject. We can also recommend Learner Guides and published resources to structure revision. We do not replace your child's school materials but complement them.
What about IGCSE coursework and practicals?
Some syllabuses include coursework, a speaking test, or a practical. Others are exam-only. When they are part of your child's syllabus, we support planning, method, and writing up. We guide planning and feedback, but we do not write or complete assessed work for the student. Your child's school supervises and submits the work.
Can I change IGCSE session times?
Yes. Sessions are scheduled around your availability. You can arrange regular weekly slots or book ad-hoc lessons depending on your package and tutor availability. Many students have a fixed time each week; others prefer to book as they go, especially during exam revision.
Do you offer group sessions for IGCSE?
Our standard offering is one-to-one tutoring so that sessions are tailored to your child. If you are interested in small-group support for your child (e.g. siblings or friends), contact us and we can discuss options.
How far in advance should we start IGCSE tutoring before exams?
Starting a term or more before exams gives the best results: your child can build concepts, practise past papers, and refine technique without rushing. We also support students who start later with focused revision and exam strategy. The earlier your child starts, the more time they have to address gaps.
What if my child misses an IGCSE session?
We ask that you cancel or reschedule in line with our cancellation policy so that tutors can plan their time. If your child misses a session without notice, it may be counted as used depending on the terms of your package. You can reschedule in advance via your account or by contacting us.
