What are GCSEs?
Most secondary education students at the end of their 11th year of compulsory education in the UK take the GCSE, or “General Certificate of Secondary Education.” The GCSE is an internationally recognised qualification that’s awarded in a specific subject and most pupils take them in several subjects including Biology, English, Physics and Maths.
The GCSE is taught predominantly to students in schools in the UK, but may be offered in other countries like Canada, Australia, and India. The IGCSE is the international counterpart of the GCSE in that both are equally recognised by most sixth form colleges, universities and other independent institutions worldwide.
Build a solid academic foundation
It is common practice to have employers demand that job applicants meet the minimum requirement in English and Math at the GCSE (or IGCSE) level. Having an IGSCE online maths tutor in HK for your child is an excellent way to help them stay the course to reach success in their future education and career goals.
In order to be successful—whether the exam is IGCSE or GCSE and whatever the subject—pupils must possess superior course subject knowledge and superb exam-taking skills and techniques. The rigorous academic program plus the decisive final exam puts most pupils under great pressure and stress.
