IGCSE Maths tutoring that improves grades

At Edmento, lessons start from £15 an hour. Across the UK, IGCSE Maths tutoring costs vary with the tutor's experience, the level and how much exam preparation and support is included. We start with a free consultation and a trial lesson, with no large upfront package, so you can judge the value before committing.

It usually is when lessons target the specific reasons your child is losing marks. General revision rarely moves a grade on its own; a tutor who diagnoses gaps, sets focused practice and gives feedback on your child's own work can. The trial lesson lets you judge before committing.

As soon as you notice a problem, ideally in Year 10, while there's time to fix gaps properly. Year 11 students still make real progress, particularly with past-paper practice in their exact syllabus.

Once a week suits most students: enough to close gaps steadily and keep momentum. Some move to twice a week in the months before mocks or the summer exams. We'll suggest a frequency based on your child's starting point, target and time available.

It can, though no honest tutor guarantees a result. Progress comes from fixing the specific gaps and technique problems that cost marks, practising regularly and getting feedback. We track progress and share updates, so you can see whether it's working.

Usually because the working doesn't show it, or small slips creep in under pressure. Examiners award method marks for clear steps, so a correct method with an arithmetic error can still score, but only if it's written down. A tutor builds the habit of setting out working and checking answers.

By learning a way to start: identifying what's being asked, which topics are involved and what a sensible first step would be. Problem-solving questions reward planning more than speed. A tutor models this on unfamiliar questions, then gradually hands over.

Method marks are awarded for correct steps in the working, even if the final answer is wrong. On longer questions most of the marks can come from method, so clear, well-set-out working is one of the quickest ways to gain marks.

By building checking into how they work: estimating first, writing each step, re-reading the question and substituting answers back where possible. A tutor spots the specific slips your child tends to make and targets those.

Almost never. Difficulty in Maths usually traces back to specific gaps, often from earlier years, and to confidence knocked by repeated mistakes. Once the gaps are found and filled in order, most students find topics start making sense again.

Yes. We ask about your child's exam board during the free assessment and match them with a tutor who knows that specification, its papers and its mark schemes. Not every tutor teaches every board, which is why we match rather than assign.

Lessons happen live, 1-to-1, over video. Tutor and student write on a shared digital whiteboard, so every line of working is visible, and past-paper questions and worked examples are built step by step together. Your child needs a laptop or tablet and a quiet space; many families find it easier than travelling to lessons.

We match on subject, level, exam board, your child's needs and their personality. After the free assessment we suggest a tutor, and your child has a trial lesson so you can both judge the fit before committing.

Yes. You can receive lesson feedback and progress updates, and your Student Success Manager is available whenever you have a question or concern.

Tell your Student Success Manager and we'll find a better match. It happens occasionally, and it's easy to fix.
