IGCSE Tutoring (Cambridge & Edexcel)
Since 2008, TestPrep Europe has delivered one-to-one tutoring and preparation programmes for Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel IGCSE subjects on its own online learning platform. Lessons are planned around the student's syllabus, Core or Extended tier, and target grade.
Short answer
The IGCSE course is sold as one-to-one tutoring, 90 minutes a lesson, and as group classes per subject with 30 hours in each subject.
It runs as a private group of 3 or more friends who sign up together; there are no published start dates, and we agree the start date and lesson times with you.
In one-to-one tutoring, packages are from €85 a lesson.

IGCSE Exam Structure
| Section | Duration | Question types | Weighting | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | — | Several papers (Cambridge: Papers 1+3 Core or 2+4 Extended; Edexcel International GCSE: Papers 1+2) | — | Some routes split calculator and non-calculator papers; Additional Mathematics is a separate subject. |
| Sciences (Physics / Chemistry / Biology) | — | Theory paper(s) + multiple choice + Alternative to Practical or a Practical paper | — | Combined Science (a single award) and Coordinated/Double Award (two awards) change the number of papers. |
| English (Language / Literature / ESL) | — | Reading and Writing paper(s); a set-text essay for Literature; additional Listening and Speaking components for ESL | — | First Language English and ESL are different syllabuses; the right one is chosen to fit the student's profile. |
| Humanities and Business | — | Source-based plus essay/structured papers (History, Geography, Economics, Business, Sociology) | — | Some subjects, such as Geography and Business, may include a fieldwork or case-study coursework component. |
| Notes | — | — | — | The full structure is confirmed once the student's board (Cambridge / Edexcel), syllabus code (e.g. 0580, 4MA1) and series (March / May–June / October–November) are settled. |
IGCSE Grading
IGCSE grading depends on the awarding body and syllabus: Cambridge IGCSE uses A*–G in some subjects and 9–1 in others, while Pearson Edexcel International GCSE has largely moved to 9–1. Grade boundaries are published separately for each series and syllabus.
- 9 / A*The top grade band; sought by selective A-Level / IB programmes and scholarship schemes.
- 8-7 / AA high-achievement band; the entry threshold for most selective sixth-form programmes.
- 6-5 / B-CAn upper-middle band; the minimum entry threshold for most universities and sixth forms.
- 4 / CStandard pass (equivalent to a UK GCSE pass); the minimum many universities require in English and Maths.
- 3-1 / D-GLower grade bands; may not be enough for A-Level/IB programmes.
- NotesGrade boundaries are recalculated for every series and published officially by Cambridge / Pearson.
