Apply to support IGCSE students online
We welcome UK-based and international tutors who understand IGCSE exam requirements, can teach clearly online and can provide professional feedback to families. Applications are screened before any assignment, because tutor fit affects both student outcomes and parent trust.
- Subjects include Maths, Additional Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English Language, ESL, English Literature, Business, Economics, Accounting, Computer Science, ICT, Geography and History.
- Experience with Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel or OxfordAQA is preferred.
- Tutors may support one-to-one lessons, mock marking, diagnostic review, guided-study checkpoints, exam planning or small group revision.
- Applicants may be asked for a short interview, trial lesson, explanation sample or marking sample.
- Submitting an application does not guarantee assignments; work depends on subject demand, availability, quality fit and service pricing.
Which tutors are easier to match?
Strong tutor supply is not only about having many applicants. The most useful applicants are clear about what they can deliver and when.
Exam-board confidence
Ability to work with Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel, OxfordAQA or similar IGCSE-style specifications, papers and mark schemes.
Clear online explanation
Students need structured teaching, not only subject knowledge. Screen sharing, examples and step-by-step correction matter.
Marking judgement
Mock marking and diagnostic work require comments on error patterns, method marks, command words and next actions.
Reliable availability
Timezone, weekly capacity and response time should match family demand before a tutor is offered to a student.
Parent-friendly feedback
Families need concise updates that explain what was covered, what is weak and what happens next.
Professional boundaries
Tutors must follow safeguarding-aware communication and no-private-payment rules.
How applications move toward matched work
Each application moves through quality checks before any tutor is matched with a student or service type.
| Stage | What we check | Possible result |
|---|---|---|
| Application review | Subjects, exam boards, teaching language, availability, expected rate and service roles. | Request more information, move to screening or close if not suitable. |
| Screening | Teaching clarity, marking ability, communication style and safeguarding boundaries. | Interview, trial explanation, marking sample or backup pool. |
| Service and pricing fit | Whether the tutor rate can work with the relevant service format without reducing quality. | Approved for specific services, limited use or no current match. |
| First matched task | Student need, timezone, exam board, service scope and parent communication requirement. | Offer a specific task only when the match is responsible. |
| Review | Student feedback, parent feedback, reliability and quality of lesson or marking notes. | Continue matching, adjust role, pause or remove from pool. |
Service roles tutors can take
Not every strong tutor should do every type of work. Matching role to strength makes the service easier to deliver.
| Role | Good fit | What matters most |
|---|---|---|
| One-to-one tutoring | Students needing live explanation and guided practice. | Teaching clarity, pacing, questions, homework direction and feedback. |
| Mock marking | Students with completed papers or school mocks. | Mark-scheme judgement, error patterns and practical revision priorities. |
| Diagnostic review | Families unsure whether tutoring is needed. | Clear judgement from limited evidence and honest next-step recommendation. |
| Guided study checkpoints | Students who can self-study but need weekly structure. | Task setting, milestone review and parent-visible progress comments. |
| Exam planning | Families with route, board or private-candidate questions. | Ability to keep academic planning separate from official exam-entry advice. |
| Small group revision | Students with similar subject, level, board and timing. | Group pacing, interaction and keeping the class focused. |
