How lessons work

  • Case-study discipline

    We maintain a curated, recent case-study bank organised by theme and development level so students always have current evidence.

  • Map skills as a separate skill

    Map and data skills are now tested in every paper and reward practised technique. We drill them weekly rather than treat them as content review.

  • Fieldwork as a paper of its own

    The geographical investigation / fieldwork paper has its own methodology. We treat it as a distinct skill, not as content recall.

Advice

IGCSE Geography: common mistakes and study tips

  • MistakeEssays without named, located case studies.

    FixGeography essays at every level require specific case-study evidence — country, place, dates. Generic answers cap.

  • MistakeUsing outdated case studies.

    FixExaminers reward recent, relevant case studies. We refresh the case-study bank yearly so students don't rely on examples from a decade ago.

  • MistakeMap-skills questions without showing working.

    FixBearings, scale and grid references must show working. Method marks survive small slips.

  • MistakeFieldwork answers without methodology detail.

    FixFieldwork paper marks reward specific, named procedural steps. Generic 'collected data' answers under-score.

  • MistakeDiagrams without labels or scale.

    FixCross-sections and graphs must be fully labelled with scale and units.
