02 / Timing
A two-year course.
IGCSE is usually studied over two years, in Years 10 and 11 (ages 14 to 16), before IB or A-Level. Exams are held in the summer and in the autumn series （to be confirmed）; your child's school decides which series it enters.
Lessons follow the school's order of topics, then shift to past papers and revision before mocks and the final exams.
04 / Questions
About IGCSE lessons.
Is IGCSE the same as O Level?
No. We teach Cambridge IGCSE and Pearson Edexcel International GCSE, not the Singapore-Cambridge GCE O Level.
When should we start?
It can help to start at the beginning of the two-year course or after the first school reports, rather than just before mocks.
