In London, IGCSEs are mostly taken at independent and international schools, sometimes alongside GCSEs in other subjects. The two main versions of IGCSE Biology are Cambridge IGCSE (0610) and Pearson Edexcel International GCSE (4BI1); they share core ideas but differ in papers, question style and mark schemes. Before the first lesson we confirm the board, syllabus code and exam series, then plan from your child's recent tests and mock results. Lessons are one-to-one and online in UK time, so families anywhere in London use the same subject-matching process. Moving on to sixth form? See our A-Level Biology tutors in London.

Exam boards we cover
Each awarding body writes its own specification, so lessons match the syllabus code, assessment objectives, paper structure and grade boundaries your child faces, using that board's past papers, mark schemes and examiner reports.
Cambridge International's syllabus, widely taught at London independent and international schools. Lessons follow the current syllabus content and use Cambridge past papers, mark schemes and examiner reports to build the command-word technique examiners reward. We confirm whether your child sits the Core or Extended papers first.
A separate specification with its own paper format, mark schemes and grade boundaries. Tutors revise with Edexcel past papers, so practice matches the real exam rather than a Cambridge paper on similar topics.
Offered by some international schools. Share the specification and we plan around its assessment objectives and past papers.
Syllabus coverage
Our IGCSE Biology tutors cover the full specification with extra depth on the topics where London students most consistently lose marks.
Cell structure, diffusion, osmosis and active transport.
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and enzyme action.
Circulation, respiration, digestion and the nervous system.
Photosynthesis, transpiration and plant transport systems.
Meiosis, monohybrid inheritance, DNA and genetic engineering.
Food chains, nutrient cycles, population studies and human impact.
Pathogens, immune response, antibiotics and antibodies.
Practical and lab-based assessment varies by school; we focus tutoring on written paper performance and required-practical writeups.

Book Free DemoWhat we fix
How we fix it:London schools use different boards for the same subject, and Biology past papers from the wrong board waste revision time. We confirm the awarding body and specification code before the first lesson and use matching papers and mark schemes.
How we fix it:Most London schools hold mocks between November and February, with final exams in May and June. Biology lessons are planned back from those dates, using mock results to target the topics costing the most marks.
How we fix it:Families relocating to London, or switching schools, often find the new Biology course uses a different board. Tutors compare the old and new specifications and plan catch-up on the topics that were missed.
How we fix it:Lessons are online in UK time, on evenings and weekends, so Biology support fits around school, travel across London and activities.

Sarah M.
IB Mathematics · London
My daughter was struggling with IB Mathematics HL and had almost given up hope of getting a 7. After just two months of weekly sessions with her Combo Tutors tutor, her confidence soared and she went from a predicted 4 to a final grade of 6. The personalised approach made all the difference—her tutor identified exactly where the gaps were and worked through them systematically.
James P.
A-Level Physics · Manchester
My son started tutoring for A-Level Physics about three months before his exams. His tutor was incredibly patient and broke down complex topics like electromagnetic induction into simple, intuitive steps. He ended up getting an A* which we genuinely didn't think was possible. I'd recommend Combo Tutors to any parent who wants a tutor that actually cares about your child's progress.
Priya K.
GCSE Science · Birmingham
We needed help with GCSE Science for my son who found chemistry particularly challenging. His tutor made the sessions engaging and relatable—using real-world examples that finally made reactions and bonding click for him. He improved by two grades and, more importantly, actually enjoys science now.
Daniel W.
SAT Prep Student · Boston
I used Combo Tutors to prepare for the Digital SAT. My tutor helped me develop a study plan, learn time-management techniques, and practise with realistic mock tests. My score jumped by 150 points between my diagnostic and actual exam. The Digital SAT-specific tips were especially valuable since the format was new to me.
Amira H.
Parent of IGCSE Student · Dubai
Finding a tutor who understood the Cambridge IGCSE syllabus was a challenge until we found Combo Tutors. Our daughter's English tutor was exceptional—she improved her essay structure, analytical writing, and comprehension skills significantly. She achieved an A* and is now much more confident heading into her A-Level studies.
Oliver R.
AP Student · San Francisco
I was really anxious about AP Chemistry because our school teacher moved through the material so fast. My Combo Tutors tutor helped me revisit topics at my own pace, work through past free-response questions, and build a solid revision strategy. I scored a 5 on the exam and feel well-prepared for university chemistry. Couldn't have done it without them.
