Paper details and topic lists matched to the 0606 syllabus for 2025 to 2027 and Pearson's 4PM1 specification.
IGCSE Further Maths is a second, harder maths qualification taken alongside core Maths, usually by strong students aged 14 to 16. Cambridge calls it Additional Mathematics (0606). Pearson Edexcel calls it International GCSE Further Pure Mathematics (4PM1). Both lead towards A-Level Maths.
According to Cambridge International's June 2025 grade statistics, 30.3% of Additional Mathematics candidates achieved an A*, and 87.7% achieved C or above. Those figures look generous, but most entrants are already confident mathematicians, and grades run only from A* to E.
Marks slip away when algebra is rushed. Cambridge Paper 1 bans calculators, so surds, logarithms and trigonometry must be worked by hand. Edexcel allows calculators but sets long, linked questions. Our tutors build exact written methods, so each step earns credit.
Syllabus topics for 0606, ending with differentiation and integration.
Share of 0606 entrants worldwide awarded the top grade, A*, in June 2025.
Marks available across the two Edexcel 4PM1 papers, with a calculator allowed in both.
Further Maths moves quickly through ideas many students first meet at A-Level. Here is how our lessons keep your child steady through it.
Your tutor works through the 14 topics in the Cambridge 0606 syllabus, beginning with any gaps and reaching calculus before mock season. Edexcel 4PM1 students follow its 10 sections instead.
Every step of working stays visible on a shared whiteboard. After class, our academic team checks the recording and gives it a score, which keeps lesson quality consistent.
Each week ends with brief tutor notes for you, and each month brings a detailed progress report. If your child misses a lesson or a homework deadline, an alert reaches you.
Share whether your child sits Cambridge 0606 or Edexcel 4PM1, plus the topics that slow them down.
Inside one day, you are introduced to a tutor who already teaches that exact course and code.
One trial lesson costs AED 20 to 60, so you can judge the fit before committing.
Weekly sessions target the weakest topics first, and you can ask for a free re-match at any point.
Cambridge 0606 and Edexcel 4PM1 each set two papers of equal weight, with no tiers. Your school's board decides the papers, and your tutor prepares each one differently.
Every step is done by hand, so your tutor drills exact values, surds and algebra until the working is quick, neat and accurate.
Questions are longer and less guided. Your tutor teaches when to reach for the calculator and when exact working still earns the marks.
Questions draw on any part of the specification and often combine topics. Your tutor sets mixed, timed papers so your child learns to plan each answer.
Paper 2 can test anything Paper 1 can, so revision covers all ten sections. Your tutor uses the formulae sheet in practice, just as in the exam.
Cambridge awards A* to E. Edexcel awards 9 to 4, with grade 3 allowed. Your tutor aims at the grade your child needs for A-Level.
Harder questions join calculus with algebra or trigonometry. Your tutor shows how to spot the link and set out the full method.
I have been taking Further Math classes… for over a month now, and I love how organized and intuitive the LMS platform is. The lessons I've had were very interactive and engaging…
the teachers are really good… I'm studying under Mr.Mozzam, he's really good at math and I've seen an improvement.
…my tuition teacher is helpful and friendly, and I can get the chance to clear any doubts I have. I get to test my understanding through the questions they send us.

Answers on course names, exam boards, calculators and cost.
At IGCSE level, broadly yes. Cambridge names its course Additional Mathematics (0606), and Pearson Edexcel names its course International GCSE Further Pure Mathematics (4PM1). Both are extra qualifications taken alongside core Maths, not instead of it.
Yes. Cambridge assumes knowledge of IGCSE Mathematics (0580 or 0980), and Edexcel expects the Higher tier content of its International GCSE Mathematics. So the core course comes first or runs alongside.
It depends on the board. Cambridge 0606 Paper 1 is non-calculator, and Paper 2 needs a scientific calculator. Edexcel 4PM1 allows a calculator in both papers and provides a formulae sheet.
Not under that name. OxfordAQA's course at this level is International GCSE Additional Mathematics (9234). Our listed tutors teach Cambridge 0606, so mention your board when you enquire and we will tell you who can help.
It introduces calculus, logarithms and harder trigonometry, which return early in A-Level. Cambridge describes 0606 as a smooth transition to AS and A Level Mathematics, and Pearson calls 4PM1 a solid basis for AS and A Level.
Hourly rates depend on the tutor, starting at AED 50. Your child's first session is a trial priced at AED 20 to 60. After that, choose single lessons or a bundle, and stop whenever you like.
Further Maths students often take sciences and Computer Science too. Tap a chip to open that subject's tutor page.
