IGCSE tutoring at On Your Marks pairs students with tutors who have taught the specific board and subject they are sitting. Sessions are online and one to one, built around your weakest papers rather than the whole syllabus — because the marks you are losing are usually in how answers are set out, not in what you know.
IGCSE is offered by more than one examination board, and the syllabus content, paper structure and grade thresholds differ between them. Most students never ask which board their tutor has taught. It is the question that saves the most wasted time.
A tutor fluent in one board may be guessing at another. We match on the board you are entered for, not just the subject name.
Several IGCSE subjects are entered at different tiers, and the grades available differ by tier. Your tutor should know which one you are on before session one.
Which board, which subject, which tier. That is enough to match properly.
Bring a marked past paper. A real session, not a sales call — you leave knowing what to fix first.
One session a week per subject, planned backwards from your next assessment.
On a 9–1 scale, where 9 is the highest. Older material and some contexts still use A* to G, so you will meet both when reading past advice and papers.
Yes. Syllabus content and paper structure differ between boards, so a tutor's fluency is board-specific. Ask which board they have taught before you book.
They are related but not identical. IGCSE is the international version and differs in syllabus and assessment arrangements.
For most students, yes. IGCSE preparation is built on past papers, markschemes and marked work, all of which suit a shared screen — and online lets you choose a tutor who has taught your board rather than whoever is nearby.
Earlier than most people begin. Starting in the final term limits what can be fixed to exam technique. A year out lets you address content gaps as well.
Sessions start at ₹1,500 an hour for grades 6 to 10 and ₹2,000 an hour for IB, MYP and exam preparation. Pricing is discussed before anything is booked.
First session is free. No commitment needed.
