# IGCSE, one to one.

Source: https://www.eltschool.org/sg/en/tutoring/igcse

This page is for Singapore families whose child is taking IGCSE or International GCSE at an international or British-curriculum school. Subject specialists teach English, Maths and the sciences one to one, online, following your child's exam board and specification.

## Your child's specification.

| Exam board | Qualification | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cambridge International | Cambridge IGCSE | Core and Extended tiers in many subjects |
| Pearson Edexcel | International GCSE | Foundation and Higher tiers in some subjects |

Tiers and papers differ by subject. We work from the specification your child's school uses.

## 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.

## What we teach.

- [English](https://www.eltschool.org/sg/en/tutoring/english) — Language and Literature
- [Maths](https://www.eltschool.org/sg/en/tutoring/maths) — including Additional Mathematics where offered
- [Physics](https://www.eltschool.org/sg/en/tutoring/physics), [Chemistry](https://www.eltschool.org/sg/en/tutoring/chemistry) and [Biology](https://www.eltschool.org/sg/en/tutoring/biology) — separate or combined science

## 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.
