How do you start?

Request a free intro call: it is a conversation about your goals and timeline, not a lesson or a test. There is no separate diagnostic test for IGCSE / GCSE, because no single test stands in for a school syllabus. The first lesson does the assessment: your tutor works through your recent marked work and past-paper questions from your own specification, and reads where you stand. It is a normal paid lesson, not a free trial, and it teaches as it assesses.
