Example IGCSE support plans for different timelines
Families often ask how many lessons or weeks are needed. The honest answer depends on evidence, subject, exam board, target grade and how consistently the student can work between sessions. These examples show how a plan can be structured without promising a result.
4-week sprint
Best for a mock or final exam approaching soon. Focus on one subject, recent evidence, high-value topics and exam technique.
8-week improvement block
Best when the student has a clear subject gap and enough time for teaching, practice, marking and review.
12-week steady plan
Best for earlier preparation, multiple weak topics or students who need a calmer routine before mocks or final exams.
How a plan is built
A plan should be easy for parents, tutors and assistants to follow.
| Stage | What should be decided |
|---|---|
| Diagnosis | Subject, exam board, current level, recent evidence and most urgent mark-loss patterns. |
| Focus | One or two priorities rather than trying to fix every topic at once. |
| Delivery | One-to-one lessons, mock marking, planning call, revision sprint or small group if suitable. |
| Practice | What the student should complete between sessions and how it will be reviewed. |
| Milestone | When the family should review progress, continue, adjust focus or pause. |
