Online IGCSE Tuition, 1-to-1 with UK Tutors
The IGCSE, or International GCSE, is the international equivalent of the UK GCSE, taken by students aged 14 to 16 at British curriculum and international schools worldwide. Sterling Study is an online IGCSE tutor offering one-to-one lessons, never group classes, with UK-based, DBS-checked tutors matched to your child's school and exam board. Every lesson is planned around a shared curriculum designed by our PhD-led team, so whether your child is preparing for Edexcel, AQA or OCR, they get the same structured, exam-focused teaching a family in London would receive.
"I joined Sterling Study in Year 9 when I was working at a Grade 4 in English IGCSE. My tutor helped me understand how to answer exam questions properly instead of just memorising things. By the end of Year 10, I had improved to a Grade 7, and I couldn't believe how much more confident I felt."
"We are based in Dubai and were nervous about online tuition working across the time difference, but it has been seamless. My son's tutor explained IGCSE Maths step by step and never rushed him. He ended up achieving a Grade 8 and genuinely enjoys his lessons now."
"Science used to be my weakest subject, and I never enjoyed it because I didn't understand a lot of the topics. My tutor in the UK made each IGCSE Science lesson interesting even with the time difference from India. My grades improved from a 3 to a 6."
Proven Results That Speak for Themselves

Meet Our Tutors
Sterling Study's IGCSE tutors are UK-qualified, DBS-checked specialists who deliver every lesson one-to-one, live online. Whether your child needs an IGCSE Maths tutor, an IGCSE Science tutor or an IGCSE English tutor, the programme is founded and overseen by Dr Parth Patel and Dr Igors Pupko, two PhD scientists who personally design the curriculum content each tutor teaches. A family's IGCSE tutor in Dubai working with Sterling Study is UK-qualified and DBS-checked, the same standard applied to every tutor teaching from the UK.
Parth holds a Neuroscience PhD from UCL and an MSc from Imperial College London, with research experience at the Francis Crick Institute. His background is in the science of how the brain learns and retains information.
Why this matters for your child: Parth builds the IGCSE Science and Mathematics teaching around proven memory and recall techniques, so one-to-one lessons target exactly what a student needs to remember under exam pressure.
Igors holds a PhD in Genetics from the University of Surrey and works as a Specialist Scientist at UCL. He leads the IGCSE Physics and Chemistry curriculum, turning demanding exam-board content into clear, one-to-one lesson plans.
Why this matters for your child: Igors writes every worksheet and lesson plan in-house, so the material is tuned to exactly what Edexcel, AQA and OCR reward, not generic bought-in content.
Every tutor who teaches your child is chosen and overseen by Parth and Igors. All UK staff are DBS certified, and our Director, Ms Yesha Mukhtiar, is the named Safeguarding Officer. Because IGCSE tuition is fully online, families searching for an IGCSE tutor near me are never limited by geography, whether you are in London, Birmingham, Coventry, Wembley or East Ham, lessons run live, one-to-one.
