Sitting for the IGCSE Examination in Singapore
IGCSE stands for International General Certificate of Secondary Education and is a two year programme offered to students aged between 14-16 years old. The IGCSE was developed by Cambridge International Examination (CIE) and is an English language exam equivalent to the GCE ‘O’ levels examination. The IGCSE is based on English language curriculum which offers board range of subjects such as Languages, Mathematics, Humanities, Social Science, Creative, Technical and Vocational.
This programme is intended to make IGCSE suitable for students with different levels of ability and to prepare them for “A’ levels, IB and BTEC Level 3. IGCSE topics are also offered in tiered levels: Higher levels or Standard/Foundation levels (HL or SL). IGCSE is tougher and more challenging than the conventional GCSE examination. With this ultra-competitive exam syllabus, many students struggle to cope with the learning and work required to do well in these subjects.

Private IGCSE Tuition will help your child in various ways
1. Highly-trained IGCSE Tutors: Our IGCSE tuition teachers have studied in international schools or teaching in IGCSE schools in their career, whilst some are still teaching in these schools. They are highly sought-after as they are experts in their own fields and well-drilled in tackling the exam questions.
2. Asking questions freely: In a private tuition class, children often feel bolder about asking questions as they don't have to be concerned at how their classmates view them.
3. IGCSE resources: Our IGCSE home tutors provide notes from other schools or students whom they are currently teaching. This saves your money and your child gets a wide exposure in the curriculum.
4. Tailor-made timings: You can arrange the lesson day with the tutor and most tutors are flexible. IGCSE students have hectic school timetable and they need a tutor to accommodate to their schedule.
5. Personalised lesson plan: A good IB tutor can identify obstacles and provide a customised lesson plan to tackle problem topics, something that cannot be done in a classroom or tuition centre.

Why choose Tutor City for IGCSE home tuition?
The IGCSE is globally recognized by leading universities and many employers. The IGCSE examination is generally considered similar to the traditional GCE “O” levels. It is often viewed as a tougher examination than many other national examinations. IGCSE students are tested in areas of oral, written, practical assignments and coursework.
The IGCSE syllabus is regularly updated and the curriculum permits more academically able students to take up additional topics which will lead to higher education or professional training.
Most students in Singapore take the GCE “O” level examinations annually. Thus, it is not easy to locate a tuition centre that can provide IGCSE tutoring service for international students, resulting in a relatively high demand for IGCSE private tuition.
