The Real Gap

Most tutors teach the syllabus.
Examiners don't test the syllabus.

Three things separate a Grade 6 from a Grade 9 — and none of them are working harder. They're all about reading the exam the way the examiner wrote it.

01

Command term mastery

"Show that," "Deduce," "Prove," and "Hence" each demand a specific response style. Miss the cue, lose the marks — even when your maths is correct. We teach the exact language of every IGCSE command term until it's instinctive.

02

Calculator fluency

Your Casio fx-991EX can solve quadratics, run regressions, handle complex trig and check answers in seconds. Most students use 10% of it. We spend dedicated time on the features that win marks on Paper 2.

03

Unseen-question strategy

The longest questions on Paper 4 reward students who can break problems into scoreable steps. We teach the exact framework — so students leave knowing they earned every available mark, even when the question looks unfamiliar.

Qualification Overview

What is IGCSE Maths?
Core, Extended & Additional

IGCSE Maths

Why Online Wins

Why online IGCSE Maths tuition outperforms in-person

The "gold standard" used to be a tutor at your kitchen table. Not anymore. Four reasons the best IGCSE students worldwide now learn online.

1

No catchment problem

A student in Doha gets matched with a specialist in CIE Extended Maths, not whoever lives within a 30-minute drive. Board-specific expertise, available everywhere.

2

Written lesson notes every time

Concept summaries, worked solutions and your error log after each class — revise the exact method before mocks.

3

Real-time digital whiteboard

Annotate past papers, sketch graphs, solve simultaneously on a shared canvas. Better than paper for visual learners — and better than a classroom whiteboard six metres away.

4

Time-zone flexible

Mumbai before school. Dubai after iftar. Singapore late evening. London on a Sunday morning. Your schedule, not ours. All time zones covered.

How It Works

24 hours from enquiry
to first lesson

Four steps from "I need help" to a matched tutor working through your mark scheme with you — fast.

02

Tutor match

We hand-pick a tutor who specialises in your board (CIE / Edexcel / AQA / Oxford AQA), your tier, and your learning style.

03

04

Weekly sessions + accountability

Lesson notes after every class. Homework. Monthly mock checkpoints. Parent progress emails every four weeks.

Our Tutors

Handpicked,
not listed

We're not a marketplace. Fewer than 1 in 12 tutors who apply make it through our hiring process. Every Educifly IGCSE Maths tutor is:

Experienced — 7 to 20 years teaching IGCSE and IB Maths, not recent graduates filling time.

Exam-board trained — CIE, Edexcel, AQA, Oxford AQA. Tutors are matched only to the boards they teach daily.

Specialised — each tutor teaches the pathways and boards they know deeply, not a generic all-rounder curriculum.

Empathetic — patient with anxious learners, structured and stretching with high-achievers aiming for a 9.

Who We Help

Who this is for —
and who it isn't

We work with four types of IGCSE Maths students. If you recognise yourself in any of these, we're the right fit.

High achievers

Top-grade hunters

Students aiming for a Grade 8 or 9 who already understand the content — but need examiner-level technique to convert correct working into maximum marks. The gap between a 7 and a 9 is rarely content. It's precision.

Urgent support

Catch-up students

Students who are behind in school and need to rebuild foundations fast — before mock season. We identify exactly where the gaps are and build backwards from the exam, not forwards from Chapter 1.

Global families

International families

Students across the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Europe who can't find a local CIE or Edexcel specialist. Our tutors are matched by board, not by postcode — location is never the limiting factor.

Confidence building

Anxious learners

Students who freeze in exams and need a patient tutor to rebuild confidence from the ground up. Our tutors never make a student feel stupid for asking a basic question — that's a hiring requirement, not a preference.

Book a free trial →

How are your tutors selected?

Every tutor completes a 3-stage vetting: subject proficiency test, live mock teaching session, and background check. Only 1 in 12 applicants makes it through.

Which IGCSE Maths exam boards do you teach?

We tutor all four major boards: Cambridge International (CIE 0580 / 0606), Pearson Edexcel (4MA1), AQA, and Oxford AQA (9260). Every tutor is specialised in the boards they teach — not a generalist across all four.

How quickly will my child see results?

Most students show measurable improvement within 4–6 sessions. Over a full academic term of weekly tutoring, the average grade improvement is one full grade band. Students starting with significant gaps usually need 8–12 weeks before mock exam results shift noticeably.

Can I choose my own tutor?

Yes. You can browse tutor profiles and request a specific tutor, or let us match you based on your exam board, schedule, and learning style.

Can I change tutors if it's not a good fit?

Yes — free, anytime, no awkward conversations. The tutor–student relationship is everything. If it's not clicking, we'll rematch within 48 hours. No charges, no questions asked.

Do you offer a free trial?

Yes. One free, no-obligation trial lesson with a matched tutor. No credit card required. A real session — not a sales pitch. You decide afterwards whether to continue.

How much does an online IGCSE Maths tutor cost?

Educifly's IGCSE Maths tuition is 1-on-1 and packaged by the number of weekly sessions you book. We walk you through the exact plan and what's included during your free consultation — no hidden fees, transparent monthly billing, cancel anytime.

What's the difference between Core, Extended and Additional Maths?

Core covers foundational topics and caps at Grade C/5. Extended covers everything in Core plus harder algebra, trigonometry and statistics — required for A-Level, IB and most universities. Additional Maths (0606) covers calculus and logarithms, recommended for students targeting STEM degrees or HL IB Maths.

Do you tutor IGCSE students in my country?

Almost certainly. Our students currently learn from 25+ countries including the UK, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, the US and Canada. All lessons run on Zoom or Google Meet across all time zones.

How do you handle exam crunch time?

We run intensive IGCSE crash courses focused on high-yield topics, past paper technique and exam-board-specific mark schemes. Ideal for the 4–8 weeks before May/June or October/November sittings. Sessions can be increased to 2–3 per week during crunch periods.

Will I get notes after each lesson?

Yes. After every online IGCSE Maths class your tutor shares written lesson notes — concept summaries, worked solutions and an error log of the questions to redo — so you can revise the exact method before homework or mocks.

Do you also tutor other IGCSE subjects?

Yes — Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, English and Computer Science. The same hiring standard applies: fewer than 1 in 12 applicants hired, board-specific specialisation required. Same quality across every subject.

Do you offer IGCSE Maths tuition for both Cambridge and Edexcel?

Yes. We provide dedicated online IGCSE Maths tuition for Cambridge (CIE 0580 Core & Extended, 0606 Additional Maths) and Pearson Edexcel (4MA1), as well as AQA and Oxford AQA. Your tutor is matched to your exact board and tier, so every lesson uses the right syllabus, command terms and mark scheme.
