IGCSE ICT tutors
1 of 1 UK tutor teaching ICT at IGCSE.
ICT as a discrete qualification has largely been replaced by Computer Science at GCSE and A-level, but it still appears at KS3, in BTEC and Cambridge Nationals routes, and in adult and Functional Skills contexts. Content is more applied than CS — spreadsheets, databases, project work, digital literacy — and assessment leans on coursework and scenario tasks. Tutoring helps most with the structured project work and with the digital-literacy gap older students sometimes carry. For students mid-stream in legacy ICT specs, check the awarding body (Cambridge Nationals, BTEC, OCR) and the cohort year, as content has shifted repeatedly.
IGCSE (International GCSE) is offered by Cambridge International (CIE) and Edexcel International, and is taken by international-school students worldwide and by some UK independent schools that prefer the IGCSE syllabus to GCSE in particular subjects (often maths and the sciences, where IGCSE retains harder content). Universities treat IGCSE and GCSE as equivalent. Tutoring needs are similar to GCSE — exam-paper technique, content consolidation, board-specific past-paper practice — but the spec differences are real, especially in maths and the sciences. Match the tutor to the actual board (CIE vs Edexcel International) and the year of the spec being taught.
