Learntit IGCSE tuition covers Maths and Science for students in Years 10 and 11 following Cambridge or Edexcel specifications. We work through the full syllabus in order, build exam technique alongside subject knowledge, and make sure students understand the material well enough to apply it under timed exam conditions.

IGCSE Maths and Science assessments are entirely exam-based with no coursework component. Two years of lessons lead to a single set of papers that determine the final grade.
There is no controlled assessment or coursework to contribute to the final grade in IGCSE Maths or Science. Students who cannot apply their knowledge accurately under timed exam conditions do not get credit for what they know, regardless of how well they understand it in lessons.
Cambridge IGCSE uses A* to G letter grading. Edexcel IGCSE uses the 9 to 1 scale. Cambridge Maths also offers Core and Extended tiers rather than Foundation and Higher. Tuition must be aligned to the specific board, syllabus code, and tier the student is sitting to ensure the right content and past papers are used throughout.
Cambridge IGCSE Maths Extended includes matrices and additional algebraic content not found in standard GCSE. Science syllabuses are detailed and comprehensive. Students need to cover every topic methodically from the start of Year 10 to avoid gaps that cannot be closed quickly in Year 11.
Both subjects are taught in full, starting from the beginning of the syllabus and working through every topic in order. Lessons are aligned to the student's specific board, syllabus code, and tier throughout.

IGCSE is not just about knowing the content. It is about being able to apply it accurately under exam conditions, using the right mark scheme language for the specific board. Every part of our approach reflects that.
Cambridge IGCSE and Edexcel IGCSE have different syllabuses, mark schemes, and question styles. Lessons are built around the student's specific board and tier from the first session. Past papers and mark schemes from that board are used throughout.
At IGCSE, partial understanding of a topic translates directly to dropped marks. We do not move on until a topic can be applied correctly to exam-style questions, not just explained in isolation.
Exam questions are introduced early and used throughout tuition, not saved for the final weeks. Students become comfortable with the phrasing, mark allocation, and the standard of answers the specific board awards full marks to.
Reading command words, structuring multi-mark answers, managing time across a paper, and understanding the difference between Core and Extended demands are all taught explicitly alongside subject content.
IGCSE Maths and Science tuition is available as 1-to-1 lessons or as part of a structured small-group programme. Both options are billed monthly with a paid trial available.
Students booking more than one 1-to-1 lesson per week qualify for a reduced rate of £5 off per hour. Lesson frequency and structure are discussed during the initial consultation.
Start With a Trial
We offer paid trial lessons so students and parents can experience the teaching properly before moving into regular monthly tuition. The trial is a real lesson covering genuine IGCSE content aligned to the student's board, syllabus, and tier, not a taster session.
Tell us the student's year group, exam board, syllabus code, current grade in Maths or Science, and the target grade they are working towards.
The trial covers real IGCSE content aligned to the student's specific board and syllabus. It gives a clear picture of what regular tuition looks like.
If both student and parent are satisfied, regular weekly lessons are arranged on a monthly basis, structured around the full IGCSE specification from the beginning.
Who This Is Best For
Whether a student is targeting a strong C or pushing for an A*, IGCSE tuition at Learntit is built around where they actually are and what it takes to reach the grade they need.
Students at UK independent schools following Cambridge IGCSE or Edexcel IGCSE specifications
Students who follow school lessons but cannot apply their knowledge to exam questions independently
Students in Year 11 who need focused, structured support to consolidate content and build exam readiness before their final papers
Students sitting Cambridge Extended tier who need to cover the full syllabus including additional algebraic and statistical content
A straightforward process to get students into the right type of structured support as quickly as possible.
Share the student's year group, exam board, syllabus code, current grade in Maths or Science, and the target grade they are working towards.
We decide together whether 1-to-1 tuition or a group programme is the better fit, based on the student's needs, target grade, and how much time is available before exams.
The student completes a paid trial lesson aligned to their specific board, syllabus, and tier, giving both parent and student a clear picture of the teaching before committing to monthly sessions.
If the trial is the right fit, regular weekly lessons are arranged on a monthly basis with the full specification covered in order and past paper practice built in throughout.
