This recognition opens up many options for A-Level courses, apprenticeships, and further studies. Most post-16 institutions look for at least a grade 4 or 5 (or C equivalent) in key subjects like English and Maths. The skills your child gains through iGCSEs, such as critical thinking and good exam techniques, are valuable for any path they choose next.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Are iGCSEs truly seen as equal to standard GCSEs for university and college applications?
Yes, absolutely. iGCSEs are widely recognised and accepted by universities, colleges, and employers across the UK and internationally. They are often seen as a rigorous and thorough qualification, providing excellent preparation for A-Level study. You won't need to explain their value on application forms; institutions are well-versed in their equivalence.
My child struggles with exam pressure. How can IGCSE tutors help without coursework to fall back on?
It's completely understandable to worry when so much rests on final exams. Our IGCSE tutors excel at helping students develop strong exam techniques, time management skills, and strategies to perform well under pressure. They build confidence by breaking down complex topics, practising past papers, and teaching stress-reduction methods, ensuring your child is fully prepared for those high-stakes assessments.
The grading for iGCSEs is a mix of 9-1 and A* -G. How do we understand this?
You're right, it can be a little confusing! Some exam boards use the newer 9-1 grading system, while others still use the A*-G system for certain iGCSE subjects. Rest assured, our IGCSE tutors are experts in both systems and can help you and your child understand how grades translate and what they mean for their progression. Universities and colleges are also very familiar with both grading scales.
Will an iGCSE's international focus disadvantage my child for UK-centric A-Levels?
Not at all. While iGCSEs often incorporate a broader, international perspective, the fundamental academic skills and knowledge gained are highly transferable and provide an excellent grounding for A-Level studies. Our IGCSE tutors can help bridge any perceived gaps, ensuring your child is confident and ready for the next stage of their education.
When is the best time to start IGCSE tuition?
There's no single 'best' time, as it depends on your child's individual needs. Some families choose to start IGCSE tuition early in Year 10 to build a strong foundation, while others prefer to begin in Year 11 to focus on exam preparation and specific challenging topics. Even a few focused sessions can make a big difference, especially with the high-stakes nature of iGCSEs.
How does IGCSE online tutoring work?
Our IGCSE online tutoring makes learning convenient and practical. Your child connects with their chosen tutor through our virtual classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing. All lessons are recorded, so they can revisit anything they need to. It's just like a face-to-face lesson, but from the comfort of your own home, making it easy to fit into busy schedules.
