Online IGCSE tuition — Cambridge and Edexcel
StudyWise provides one-to-one online IGCSE tuition on both major boards — Cambridge International (CIE) and Pearson Edexcel — along with the years either side of it. Sixty minutes a week, the same slot, the same teacher, in any subject on the curriculum.
Cambridge stages we cover
IGCSE itself is only Grades 9–10. We teach the years either side of it too, so a student does not have to change tutor partway through the pathway.
Cambridge Lower Secondary
Grades 6–8. The years where the gaps that surface at IGCSE are usually created.
Cambridge IGCSE (CIE)
Grades 9–10, Core and Extended.
Pearson Edexcel International GCSE
Grades 9–10. A different awarding body with its own syllabus codes and papers, taught as such rather than as a variation on Cambridge.
Cambridge International AS & A Level
Grades 11–12.
Subjects asked for most are Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics and French — but any subject on the Cambridge curriculum at these levels can be taught.
Past papers and the mark scheme
Knowing the content and knowing how it is marked are two different things, and the second one is what the grade actually rewards.
Past-paper practice
Real papers from the board the student is entered for, not approximations of them. Cambridge and Edexcel word questions differently and expect different things, so practising the wrong board's papers builds the wrong habits.
Mark-scheme breakdowns
Work is marked against the board's own scheme, and the student is shown where each mark was won or lost. Most of the marks recovered in a term come from method and presentation rather than from new content.
Then a monthly paper
On top of that, one paper a month marked concept by concept, so a weak topic is visible as a pattern rather than as a single bad day.
What we actually track
Tuition usually stops at the lesson. Ours does not, because a student rarely stalls for the reason anyone assumes. We count three things every month, and act on whichever one slips.
Attendance
Classes subscribed against classes attended. Two missed hours do not sound like much, but the syllabus does not pause.
Homework
Work set against work attempted. This is usually the first thing to go, and the easiest to miss until the marks move.
Monthly papers
One paper a month, marked concept by concept rather than as a single total, so a weak topic is visible before the exam finds it.
Diagnostics
Run on joining — on the previous year's material, not this year's — then again as the year moves. Most of what goes wrong in the final year was left unfinished before it.
Parents get that in writing once a month: what was attended, what was attempted, what was scored, and what we did about it.
Why IGCSE students stall
Almost no student fails an IGCSE because a concept was explained badly. They fail because something between the class and the exam stopped happening, and nobody counted it in time.
Irregularity
Classes subscribed but not attended. The syllabus does not pause, so the next class is spent catching up rather than moving.
Inconsistency
Work set but not attempted. Ten homeworks set and six returned is a pattern, not an accident.
A comprehension gap
Everything done, score still flat — which means the problem is a specific concept, and it can be isolated.
Each has a different fix. Counting is what tells them apart.
What students say
“StudyWise played a pivotal role in my IB journey and was instrumental in helping me achieve my academic goals. Every lesson was focused, engaging, and tailored towards building a genuine understanding of the syllabus rather than rote memorisation.”

Common questions
Do you only teach IGCSE, or the years before it too?
Both. We teach Cambridge Lower Secondary (Grades 6–8), IGCSE (Grades 9–10) and AS & A Level (Grades 11–12).
Do you teach Edexcel as well as Cambridge?
Yes. Both Cambridge International (CIE) and Pearson Edexcel International GCSE. They are separate awarding bodies with their own syllabus codes and papers, and we teach to whichever one the student is entered for.
Do you use past papers?
Yes, routinely — real papers from the board the student is entered for, marked against that board's own mark scheme, with the student shown where each mark was won or lost.
Do you cover Core and Extended?
Yes, both tiers.
Do you teach Indian boards such as CBSE or ICSE?
No. StudyWise teaches IB, Cambridge International and the SAT only.
Do you teach international boards?
Yes — the international curricula we teach are the IB (MYP and Diploma) and Cambridge International (Lower Secondary, IGCSE, and AS & A Level), plus the SAT, which sits on top of any curriculum. We do not teach Indian boards such as CBSE or ICSE.
Do you offer tuition near me?
Every class is one-to-one and online, so there is no travel and no catchment area. Students join from wherever they are — StudyWise currently teaches 100+ students across 5+ countries — and keep the same teacher and the same weekly slot wherever they move.
Are the classes one-to-one or in a group?
One-to-one, always. One student and one teacher, sixty minutes, weekly, in the same slot. There is no group teaching.
Are lessons recorded?
No. Classes are live and are not recorded.
Is there an app or a portal to log into?
No. Tracking is internal to StudyWise and reported to parents in a written monthly update. There is no dashboard for students or parents to log into.
Do you use AI to teach?
No. AI is used internally only, to help staff read across a term of attendance, homework and paper marks faster than a person can. There is no chatbot and no automated question solver. A person reads the output and a person decides what to do.
Where are your students based?
Classes are online, so anywhere. StudyWise currently teaches 100+ students across 5+ countries.
What does a consultation cost?
Nothing, and there is no commitment. We ask about the student and the last set of results, and tell you which of the three problems you are dealing with — including when the answer is that you do not need us.
