How lessons approach Mathematics

Understanding the content, and answering the questions the way the mark scheme rewards.

Conceptual Understanding
  • Practice mental arithmetic daily
  • Understand why methods work, not just how
  • Draw diagrams for geometry and word problems
  • Connect algebra to graphical representations
Exam Techniques
  • Show all working for full marks
  • Practice without calculator for Paper 1
  • Read questions carefully for what's asked
  • Check answers using different methods

Group options

There is no open IGCSE / GCSE group course. Bring 3 or more students together and we open a private group course for you. The IGCSE / GCSE private group is priced per student by how many subjects you take, with 30 hours of live lessons in each: 1 subject (30 hours) $1,150, 2 subjects (60 hours) $2,150, 3 subjects (90 hours) $3,000 and 4 subjects (120 hours) $3,900.

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.
