What parents should know about Edexcel IGCSE Maths.
Edexcel International GCSE Mathematics is set by Pearson and taken by students aged 14 to 16. It is one of the most widely recognised qualifications for secondary students in international schools across the GCC.
Edexcel IGCSE Mathematics is a two-year secondary course leading to an internationally recognised qualification. It covers pure and applied maths, preparing students for A-Level study or equivalent post-16 pathways.
The qualification is assessed entirely by written examinations. Pearson uses a 9 to 1 grading scale, where 9 is the highest mark. Strong exam technique and mark-scheme awareness are critical to reaching the top grades.
Edexcel IGCSE exams run in the January and May/June series each year. Most students sit in May/June at the end of Year 11. Early preparation and consistent past-paper practice give students the best chance on exam day.
A group class cannot do this.
Lessons built around the gaps
Your tutor identifies exactly which Edexcel topics are costing marks and builds every lesson around closing those specific gaps.
Real Edexcel past-paper technique
Every session includes timed Edexcel past-paper questions with mark-scheme walkthroughs so your child knows exactly how marks are awarded.
Parents kept in the loop
After every lesson, you receive a tutor note and progress update so you always know what was covered and what comes next.
A globally recognised qualification for secondary school students.
Edexcel International GCSE Mathematics is awarded by Pearson, one of the world's leading exam boards. It is designed for students aged 14 to 16 in international schools and covers algebra, geometry, statistics, and number.
Assessment is through two written papers, each carrying equal weight. Pearson grades results on a 9 to 1 scale. Strong performance opens direct pathways to Edexcel A-Levels, Cambridge A-Levels, and IB Diploma programmes.
Every Tuitional lesson is mapped to the specific Edexcel IGCSE Mathematics syllabus code your school follows, so no time is spent on content that won't appear on your child's actual papers.
What a one-to-one Edexcel IGCSE Maths lesson actually looks like.
Every session follows a tested four-phase structure: recap, teach, apply, review. Your child gets focused work on the exact topics that matter for their Edexcel papers.

Recap and quick diagnostic
The tutor opens with a short check on the previous session's homework to confirm understanding before moving forward.
Example: Three quick questions on solving simultaneous equations from the previous lesson to confirm the method has stuck.
- 5-25 min
Teach the target topic
The tutor introduces the session's focus topic using worked examples, checking understanding at each step before moving on.
Example: Walking through quadratic inequalities (Edexcel IGCSE Paper 1H, Topic 5), showing the number-line method step by step.
- 25-50 min
Apply it to past-paper questions
The student works through real Edexcel past-paper questions under timed conditions, with the tutor using the official Pearson mark scheme to award and explain marks.
Example: Completing a four-mark Edexcel IGCSE Paper 2H question on graph transformations, then reviewing the mark-scheme breakdown together.
- 50-60 min
Review, set homework, report
The tutor summarises what was covered, sets targeted homework for the week, and prepares notes sent to the parent after the session.
Example: Setting five Edexcel-style circle-theorem problems from a past paper for independent practice before the next session.
After the lesson
You receive a written tutor note summarising what was covered, what the homework is, and what the next session will focus on. Session recordings are available for your child to review at any time.

The qualification that builds the foundation for A-Level and university.
Edexcel International GCSE Mathematics is set by Pearson and assessed through two written papers. It covers number, algebra, geometry, and statistics, with results graded on the 9 to 1 scale used by international schools across the GCC.
Strong marks at Edexcel IGCSE Maths open direct entry to A-Level Mathematics and further STEM qualifications. Consistent past-paper practice and tutor-led technique work are the clearest routes to top grades.
Why families across the GCC trust Tuitional for Edexcel Maths.
My son went from a 4 to a 7 in Edexcel Maths in one term. His tutor knew the exact papers and mark schemes inside out. We couldn't have asked for a more focused or patient teacher.
Booking was simple and the tutor was well-prepared from the first session. My daughter finally feels confident walking into her Maths exam, and her school grades have improved noticeably.
I used to dread quadratics. After just six sessions on Edexcel past papers, I actually enjoy solving them. The one-to-one sessions mean the tutor always knows exactly where I am struggling.
We tried a group class before Tuitional and saw no improvement. Within a month of one-to-one Edexcel Maths sessions, our son moved up a full grade and his homework marks improved too.
Edexcel IGCSE Maths tutoring — your questions, answered.
The things parents and students ask us most, in plain language.
?What is covered in Edexcel IGCSE Mathematics?+
Edexcel IGCSE Maths covers number, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, and probability across two written papers. The Higher tier extends into calculus and more advanced algebra. Your tutor maps every session to the exact topics listed in your syllabus.
?How is Edexcel IGCSE Maths graded?+
Pearson grades Edexcel IGCSE Mathematics on a 9 to 1 scale, where 9 is the top mark. Students sit either the Foundation tier (grades 1 to 5) or Higher tier (grades 4 to 9). Your tutor will help identify which tier gives your child the best opportunity.
?How many papers are in the Edexcel IGCSE Maths exam?+
There are two written papers, each lasting two hours. Both papers carry equal weight. Paper 1 is non-calculator, and Paper 2 allows a calculator. Consistent practice across both paper styles is a core part of every Tuitional session.
?Can my child start tutoring mid-year for Edexcel IGCSE Maths?+
Yes. Tutors run a short diagnostic in the first session to identify where your child currently stands and which topics need the most attention. Lessons then start exactly where your child needs them, regardless of where they are in the school year.
?Are sessions recorded so my child can review them later?+
Yes. Every Tuitional session is recorded and stored in your child's account. They can revisit any part of a lesson at any time, which is especially useful in the weeks before an Edexcel exam.
?How do I know if the tutor is the right fit?+
We match tutors using a detailed assessment of your child's syllabus, learning style, and target grade. If the first pairing doesn't feel right after the trial, we offer a free re-match at no extra charge.
