The International General certificate of Secondary education (also called IGCSE) by Cambridge International Education is one of the most widely recognized educational qualifications in the world for secondary students. Students of age between fourteen and sixteen will usually take this exam. The grades they get for this exam will affect admission to college and their future career also. So parents who want their child to get better grades at the igcse exam are looking for a reliable tutor who will offer IGCSE tuition for their child
Subjects
Before searching for a tutor, the parent should evaluate the academic performance of the child to determine the subjects for which he requires help. For the IGCSE exam, the student is tested in at least five subjects. Some of these subjects like English, math and science are compulsory while other subjects like the second language are optional or can be chosen by the student. The parent should check the grades of the student in the school exam. Usually if the student is only getting average grades, or below, it is advisable to get a tutor for help. In some cases, the student is aiming for top grades so he may also require help to improve his performance.
Help required.
Depending on the student’s approach to studies and also aptitude for gadgets, the parent can choose to hire a home tutor or online tutor. If the student is easily distracted, it is better to get a home tutor who will sit with the student and ensure the he is paying attention to the studies. However, the charges of the home tutor are likely to be higher, so the parent should also decide how much he can afford to spend on studies. The parent should decide how many hours of help the student requires in a week, and the subjects in which the student requires help from the tutor.
Posting requirement
In some cases, the student is good in math and science, but his grades in English, second language are not good, while in other cases, the student requires help in science, math. So based on the past academic performance of the student, the parent should post his requirement for a tutor, also specifying the hourly rate,qualification and duration for which the tutor is required. Typically many parents wish to hire a tutor for a few weeks before the igcse exam, to improve the student performance, so it may be more difficult to find tutors or their rates will be higher.
Tuition
After the tutor requirement is posted online, a large number of tutors usually will apply for the job, especially online tuition. Many tutors offer igcse tuition in multiple subjects. The parent can review their profile and rates before choosing a suitable tutor for online tuition. The tutor is typically hired for a period of at least one month or four weeks, and if the parent is happy with the results, they may be hired for a longer time. The parent will pay the tutor directly for teaching the student, after the tuition is completed by bank transfer or cash.
