The Mathematics IGCSE Course gently guides the student through basic mathematical skills, progressing on to more advanced material as the student’s skills and abilities develop.

Each lesson begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study. Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions.

The course enables students to:

  • Develop their knowledge and understanding of mathematical concepts and techniques.
  • Acquire a foundation of mathematical skills for further study in the subject or related areas.
  • Enjoy using and applying mathematical techniques and concepts, and become confident to use mathematics to solve problems.
  • Appreciate the importance of mathematics in society, employment and study.

Additional Reading:
 
The Maths IGCSE course contains a number of tests and activities which is sufficient for most students. However if you feel you need further practice then we would recommend the following textbook: GCSE Maths in a Year: Student Book by Dave Capewell, Peter Mullarkey & Katherine Pate. (ISBN-10: 0199151563 - ISBN-13: 978-0199151561)
 
Technical Support:
 
Every student receives a personal tutor with whom they need to keep in regular contact. The essential relationship between student and tutor begins with an introductory letter and a telephone call to help decide on a study plan. All tutors are fully qualified teachers holding either a Postgraduate Certificate in Education or a degree in education. So when you enrol on a course you can be assured of the assistance of a professionally qualified subject specific tutor.
 
We don’t set a limit on how often you can contact your tutor. The advice and encouragement our tutors provide are an important part of your learning experience. You can contact your tutor by Phone, Post or Email. There are tutor-marked assignments (TMA’s) in every course. These help the student consolidate the learning he or she has done and prepare for examinations. All tutors have a local rate telephone number such as a 0845 number. This means that when you phone your tutor it will only cost you the price of a local call. Whilst you are still actively submitting assignments, you should expect to be in contact with your tutor regularly. Remember, to get the most out of your tutor, you will need to tell them when you need assistance.
