PROGRAM OVERVIEW
EnglishAhead's Cambridge English For IGCSE Students program is designed to help IGCSE students master their reading and writing skills in order to become exam-ready. It offers support for students of First Language English and English as a Second Language. We offer tuition classes as well as exam prep, depending on your requirements.
Taught by experienced, Cambridge-certified teachers, the courses use a blended learning approach that balances online support as well as offline practice. Our live online classes are available in 1-to-1 and group format. Depending on the desired type of support, the course duration can range from 3 months to 6 months long.
WHAT STUDENTS WILL LEARN
Our classes cover the necessary skills needed for the IGCSE reading paper and writing paper, as well as speaking skills if the student will take a speaking exam. Our aim is to make our students confident and exam-ready, and improve their English to a level where they can score a B (70%) and above.
At the end of their course, students will be able to:
-
sit for their Cambridge exams with confidence and appropriate time-management.
-
understand each paper's marking scheme and assessment objectives, and write an answer that can meet this criteria.
-
gain experience in comprehensively reading a variety of texts, such as newspaper reports, letters to the editor, blogs, and articles, and extract key information from their content.
-
analyse texts to understand the writer's purpose, as well as the context and intended audience, and describe how writers can use language for various effects.
-
write accurately and appropriately for a range of different genres and audiences, including, but not limited to, articles, letters, blogs and reports.
-
become adept at reading and understanding fiction, and using that knowledge to write narrative and descriptive pieces of their own.
