Structured IGCSE study support without enrolling in a full online school
This programme is for students who already have school, homeschool, online course or self-study materials, but are not following a steady plan. We help turn the exam date, syllabus, recent evidence and available study hours into a weekly routine with tutor-marked milestones and parent-friendly progress updates.
For independent students
The student can complete tasks between checkpoints, but needs clearer weekly priorities and accountability.
For busy parents
Parents receive concise progress notes instead of having to manage every paper, topic and homework task themselves.
For careful budgeting
It is lighter than weekly one-to-one tutoring, but more continuous than a one-off diagnostic review.
What happens in the programme
The goal is simple: the student knows what to do each week, a tutor checks selected milestones, and parents can see whether the plan is being followed.
| Stage | Student action | IGCSE UK action |
|---|---|---|
| Setup review | Share subject, exam board, exam date, recent work and weekly study time. | Review the evidence and confirm whether guided study is suitable before payment. |
| Weekly plan | Follow a focused task list covering topics, practice questions, past paper work or writing tasks. | Set realistic weekly priorities based on the student’s route, evidence and available time. |
| Progress check | Submit agreed evidence, such as a marked task, topic test, written answer or past-paper section. | Check completion and give short feedback on what needs attention next. |
| Tutor milestone | Complete the agreed milestone work carefully, not just quickly. | A tutor reviews selected work and identifies patterns such as method gaps, weak explanation or timing issues. |
| Parent update | Keep work organised so progress can be checked. | Send a concise parent summary: completed work, concerns, next priorities and whether lessons may be needed. |
Programme options
Each plan is per subject. Extra subjects or live lessons can be added only after availability is confirmed.
| Option | Best for | What is included |
|---|---|---|
| 4-week focus plan · £249 | A mock, topic block or short period that needs structure quickly. | Setup review, weekly task plan, two progress checks, one tutor-marked milestone and a short parent summary. |
| 8-week progress plan · £449 | A student who can self-study but needs accountability over several weeks. | Setup review, weekly check-ins, two tutor-marked milestones, parent updates and next-step recommendation. |
| 12-week steady plan · £649 | Earlier preparation before mocks or final exams. | Study schedule, weekly check-ins, three tutor-marked milestones, parent updates and final review. |

Who this suits
This service works best when the student can complete independent work between checkpoints.
| Good fit | Not the best fit |
|---|---|
| The student has a clear subject, exam session and enough weekly study time. | The student needs live teaching every week to understand the content. |
| The family already has school, homeschool, online course or self-study materials. | The family expects a full school enrolment, daily teaching or all textbooks to be provided. |
| Parents want visibility without managing every task themselves. | The student will not complete independent work between checkpoints. |
| The family wants structure before committing to a larger lesson package. | The request is for official exam entry, exam-centre booking or a guaranteed grade. |
How this differs from other services
Guided study is not a replacement for every service. It sits between one-off review and regular teaching.
| Service | Main purpose | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic review | Understand the problem from evidence. | Choose this first if the issue is unclear and you need a tutor judgement before planning weeks of work. |
| Guided study programme | Keep the student following a weekly plan. | Choose this when the student can self-study but needs structure, checkpoints and parent updates. |
| One-to-one tutoring | Teach content live and respond during lessons. | Choose this when the student needs regular teaching, explanation and guided practice. |
| Full online school | Provide a complete school-like course route. | This is not what IGCSE UK provides. We support preparation, planning and study structure. |
