IGCSE Maths is not one identical exam across every London school. Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics 0580 has Core and Extended routes; Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Mathematics A 4MA1 has Foundation and Higher tiers. Their specifications, papers and mark schemes differ, so we confirm the qualification code, route or tier and exam year before the first lesson. Students sitting Cambridge in 2026 or 2027 should use the 2025–2027 syllabus, where Paper 1 (Core) and Paper 2 (Extended) are the non-calculator papers. Taking Cambridge Additional Mathematics 0606 or Edexcel Further Pure Mathematics 4PM1 as well? Those are separate qualifications and need a specialist. Progressing to sixth form?

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.
Core or Extended. Under the 2025–2027 syllabus, Papers 1 and 2 are non-calculator and Papers 3 and 4 allow a calculator.
Foundation or Higher tier, each with two papers. Practice must come from Edexcel's own past papers.
An advanced qualification taken alongside 0580 by some students; we match a specialist.
Edexcel's advanced option, not interchangeable with 4MA1.
Syllabus coverage
Our IGCSE Mathematics tutors cover the full specification with extra depth on the topics where London students most consistently lose marks.
Integers, fractions, percentages, surds, indices, standard form and ratio — banked easy marks.
Expanding, factorising, linear and quadratic equations, simultaneous equations and curve sketching.
Straight-line graphs, gradient, midpoint and equations of lines.
2D and 3D shapes, area, volume, circle theorems and Pythagoras — highest-mark Extended theory.
Sine and cosine rules, bearings, angles of elevation and depression.
Column vectors, translations, reflections, rotations and enlargements.
Tree diagrams, Venn diagrams, cumulative frequency, box plots and histograms.
CIE 0580 and Edexcel 4MA1 mark-scheme work — how examiners reward working, layout and final answers.

Students know individual rules but slip when a question needs several steps.
How tutoring helps:Practise common denominators, factorising and keeping equations balanced until multi-step questions feel routine.
Recognising a theorem isn't enough; the answer has to say why.
How tutoring helps:Train students to state each reason and show the steps the mark scheme rewards.
Writing a rounded decimal when the question asks for an exact value loses the mark.
How tutoring helps:Work through exact forms, for example √72 = √(36 × 2) = 6√2, until they are automatic.
Chapter exercises give away the method; mixed past-paper questions don't.
How tutoring helps:Move from guided examples to independent mixed-topic practice on the right board's papers.
Start by identifying weak topics rather than sitting full papers straight away. A useful outline for the summer series:
Adapt it to your child's exam series and progress. Struggling with calculations in Physics too? Our IGCSE Physics tutors in London link the Maths to the science, and our online tutors in London page covers every subject.

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.

Neither is universally harder. It depends on the awarding body, tier or route, content and the student's strengths, so compare the exact qualifications rather than the names.
Yes. Lessons build algebraic fluency, fractions, exact values and step-by-step methods for Paper 1 (Core) or Paper 2 (Extended) under the current syllabus.
It may be possible where the school's entry arrangements allow, but Extended covers more content. Decide using current performance and the school's advice.
Yes, matched to a tutor familiar with 4MA1 and your child's Foundation or Higher tier.
