Online iGCSE and GCSE maths tutor for students overseas

Why the UK daytime suits students abroad

If you live in a country that is several hours ahead of the UK, the UK morning and afternoon are your child’s late afternoon and evening. That makes the UK day a natural time for after-school maths lessons: school is finished, and your child is not working late into the night.

For example:

• A student in Singapore, Hong Kong or Kuala Lumpur who finishes school at 4pm can have a lesson at 4.30pm. That is 8.30am in the UK in winter.
• A student in Dubai or Abu Dhabi can have a lesson at 5pm, which is 1pm in the UK in winter.

Lessons are one hour long and usually weekly. I teach on Zoom (my preferred platform) or Microsoft Teams. Your child will need a computer or tablet, a microphone or headphones, a quiet space, pen, paper and a calculator.

Time zones I work with

These are the regions most families ask about. The gap changes through the year because the UK moves between GMT in winter and BST in summer, while many of these countries do not change their clocks.

Not on the list? Tell me where you are when you enquire. If there is an overlap with the UK day, we can almost certainly find a time.

Questions from overseas families

Can you tutor my child for iGCSE maths if we live outside the UK?

Yes. All my lessons are online, so students can be anywhere in the world. I teach Cambridge IGCSE and Edexcel International GCSE maths, as well as GCSE maths for students at British schools abroad.

Which time zones can you teach in?

Lessons take place during the UK day, which suits students in time zones ahead of the UK. Tell me your time zone when you enquire and we will find a time that works for both of us.

Do you teach IB maths?

Yes, but only IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches at Standard Level. I do not currently teach Applications and Interpretation or Higher Level.

Do you teach Cambridge IGCSE or Edexcel International GCSE maths?

Both. Cambridge IGCSE is taught at Core or Extended tier, and Edexcel International GCSE at Foundation or Higher tier.

How much do lessons cost for overseas students?

£60 per hour, the same for students in the UK and overseas.
