Reviewed by Uzma Owais, IGCSE Mathematics tutor for Cambridge 0580 and Edexcel 4MA1, over 15 years teaching, B.Ed
Paper details and topics checked against the current 0580, 0980 and 4MA1 documents.
IGCSE Maths is usually sat at 16, after two years of study. Cambridge offers syllabus 0580, graded A* to G, and 0980, graded 9 to 1. Pearson Edexcel offers 4MA1. Each one covers number, algebra, geometry and statistics, and leads to A-Level.
According to Cambridge International's worldwide grade figures for June 2025, an A* went to 19.8% of IGCSE Mathematics entries, while 70.9% finished with C or better. Tier choice matters: Core papers cap the grade at C, and Extended papers open up A*.
Marks slip away in three places: arithmetic on the non-calculator paper, working that is not shown, and multi-step problems that need a plan. A one-to-one tutor spots which of these costs your child most and drills it with past questions.

Lessons are live and one to one, so the pace follows your child, not a class. This is what families get from the first week.
Only a small share of applicants join us: fewer than 2 in every 100. Each Maths tutor is interviewed on the subject and gives a mock lesson before taking on students.

Your child and the tutor solve problems side by side on a live whiteboard. Every recording is checked and scored by our academic team, which keeps quality consistent.
Each week the tutor sends a short note on what was covered. Every month a fuller report follows, plus an alert if your child misses a class or a homework task.
Cambridge students sit two papers, Core or Extended, one with a calculator and one without. Edexcel 4MA1 students sit two calculator papers at Foundation or Higher tier.
Written methods and number sense carry this paper. Your tutor sets short timed drills so arithmetic stays accurate under pressure.
Surds, indices and algebraic fractions must be done by hand. Your tutor teaches exact answers and quick checks that catch slips.
Real-life problems on money, rates and data. Your tutor shows how to use a scientific calculator well and still write down the method.
Multi-step questions mix topics, such as trigonometry inside a 3D shape. Your tutor teaches your child to sketch a plan first, then calculate.
Both papers allow a calculator and come at Foundation, grades 5 to 1, or Higher, grades 9 to 4. Your tutor prepares the tier your child is entered for.
Many questions reward the method as well as the answer. Your tutor checks layout, rounding and units in every past question, so fewer marks slip away.
Your tutor covers the nine Cambridge topic areas at Core or Extended depth, beginning with whichever area costs your child the most marks.
Many families start with an online practice website or a school catch-up session. Here we compare them with a one-to-one tutor on feedback about working, focus on weak topics and preparation for the non-calculator paper.

I understood so many things I used to have issues/problems with in math and english. The tutors are supportive… They explain things clearly and take the time to go over topics until I understand clearly.
I have found that doing math tuition is very helpful in school as I learn a lot of things… I can always be prepared and I can also always ask any help I need with school work that I am unsure with…

Quick answers on tiers, calculators, exam boards, A-Level plans and lesson costs.
Yes. Core papers lead to grades C to G only, while Extended opens up A* to E. A child hoping for a B or above needs Extended. A tutor can judge readiness from recent mock papers.
Your child practises written methods for fractions, percentages, indices and surds, then sits short timed sets. The tutor marks each set and repeats the methods that went wrong until they become automatic.
The papers, content and timings match. The difference is the grade scale: 0580 is graded A* to G, while 0980 is graded 9 to 1. Lessons cover the same content either way, so just tell us which code your school enters.
Yes. Both Edexcel 4MA1 papers allow a calculator, and each lasts 2 hours with 100 marks. Foundation leads to grades 5 to 1 and Higher to 9 to 4. Twelve of our Maths tutors teach 4MA1.
A-Level Maths builds directly on IGCSE algebra, graphs and trigonometry. Students who finish IGCSE confident with these topics often find the step up easier. Your tutor can stretch Extended students with harder problem-solving questions.
An hour of IGCSE Maths costs from AED 50, depending on the tutor. Trials are AED 20 to 60. Families pay as they go or pick a package, and can stop at any point.
Many Maths students also take Further Maths, Physics or Economics. Tap a subject to meet the tutors for it.
