I teach IGCSE maths with Cambridge-aligned depth. Core and Extended pathways, past paper practice, real exam technique.
Cambridge Mathematics
IGCSE mathematics isn't just a harder version of CBSE. It's a fundamentally different approach — structured around mathematical reasoning, real-world application, and multi-step problem solving. Cambridge doesn't care if your child memorised a formula. They care if your child can apply it in an unfamiliar context.
Most local tutors teach IGCSE the way they'd teach any Indian board — memorise, practice, repeat. That works for getting through exercises but fails completely on the IGCSE exam where questions require genuine understanding.
I teach IGCSE maths the Cambridge way — concept understanding first, then application in unfamiliar contexts, then exam technique. In that order.
What I Cover
Whether your child is on the Core or Extended pathway, I cover the full syllabus with Cambridge-aligned depth. For Extended students, I ensure the additional topics get the time and rigour they deserve.
For Extended students, I additionally cover: set notation, matrices, more complex functions, calculus introduction, and advanced probability — all with Cambridge past paper practice.
Core vs Extended
| Aspect | Core (Grades C–G) | Extended (Grades A*–E) |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty | Foundation level | Higher level |
| Topics covered | Core syllabus only | Core + Extended topics |
| Highest possible grade | Grade C | Grade A* |
| Calculator papers | Paper 1 (non-calc) + Paper 3 (calc) | Paper 2 (non-calc) + Paper 4 (calc) |
| Recommended for | Students building confidence | Students aiming for top universities |
During the diagnostic assessment, I evaluate which pathway is right for your child — based on their current level, not just ambition. If they're on Extended but struggling, we either bridge the gaps or have an honest conversation about switching to Core where they can excel rather than scrape by.
FAQ
The diagnostic reveals whether your child truly understands — or just memorises. Book your session.
