Straight answers, including the ones about money.

Both, and we teach to whichever your school enters you for. The subject content overlaps but the paper structures, command words and mark schemes differ, so the syllabus code is confirmed before teaching starts.

Yes. A significant share of our IGCSE students are private candidates. We teach the full course and guide you through registering with a local British Council or authorised examination centre.

Not on Core — the tier caps the maximum grade in most tiered subjects. If the target requires a higher grade, the tier has to change, which is a conversation with the school and needs enough runway. We will tell you honestly whether the timeline allows it.

Yes, and the tutor marks them. A past paper you mark yourself tells you the score; a past paper marked by a tutor tells you why.

One to two per subject during term, rising in the final six to eight weeks. Students starting a subject from scratch as private candidates usually need more.

They are both Cambridge qualifications at the same level and are treated equivalently by schools and universities. The differences are in paper structure and in coursework and practical availability on certain subjects. We teach to whichever your centre enters you for.

Yes, through the British Council or an authorised examination centre. We teach the full course and help you plan registration deadlines around the series you want.

For a full subject taught from the beginning, six to nine months. For targeted repair of specific topics, six to ten weeks can move a grade. We will tell you which situation you are in after the diagnostic.

This is one of the most common reasons families come to us. We establish the actual working level rather than assuming the year group, find what the previous curriculum sequenced differently, and close those gaps while keeping pace with the new school.

Yes, from Key Stage 1 upward. Younger sessions are shorter and more frequent, and we report to the parent after each block.

Yes — including assessment preparation in English and Mathematics, and bridging any content the previous system covered later or not at all.

Yes — with scoping the research question, structuring against the criteria, handling data and evaluating results, and with feedback on drafts within the IB academic-honesty rules. We supervise and teach; the work remains the student's own.

Both Analysis & Approaches and Applications & Interpretation, at Higher and Standard Level, including Paper 3 at HL and the Mathematics Exploration.

Yes — question framing, research planning, structure, referencing and draft feedback. The EE and TOK together are worth up to three points and are the most commonly under-served part of the Diploma.

It depends on how much time remains and where the marks are being lost. A student losing marks to command terms and IA scope can move several points quickly; content gaps take longer. We give you an honest read after the diagnostic.

Pearson is the awarding organisation and Edexcel is the qualification brand it awards, which is why you will see "Pearson Edexcel" on papers. We teach across both the Edexcel academic qualifications and Pearson's wider portfolio.

Edexcel International A Levels are modular — you sit units and can resit individual ones — while UK A Levels are linear with everything examined at the end. The teaching plan differs substantially, so we confirm which you are on first.

Yes, and the tutor marks them to the Edexcel mark scheme with written comments rather than returning a score.

The specification code on the exam timetable or textbook tells you, and we confirm it in the first session. Getting this wrong wastes months, so we never assume.

Yes, including the modelling-led approach and the interpretation questions that distinguish MEI from OCR A.

Yes — through design, development, testing and evaluation, within the rules on what a supervisor may advise. The code stays the student's own work.

National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher, across Mathematics, the Sciences, English and Business subjects.

Higher is normally a one-year course taken around age 16 to 17 and is the standard route into Scottish universities; Advanced Higher then sits close to first-year undergraduate level. A Levels run over two years. Universities outside Scotland usually ask for Advanced Highers or additional Highers.

Yes — planning, method, analysis and the write-up, within SQA rules on permitted support. We teach and supervise; the work stays the student's own.

Academic is for university admission and most professional registration; General Training is for migration and many work visas. The requirement is set by the body you are applying to — confirm it with them, because sitting the wrong version means sitting again.

Typically eight to fourteen weeks, because the gap is usually a specific criterion rather than general English. Candidates who need to raise all four components take longer, and we tell you which situation you are in after the diagnostic.

Yes — every one, against Task Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource and Grammatical Range and Accuracy, with a band per criterion and written comments.

Neither is easier; the content and scoring are the same. Computer delivery gives faster results and easier editing in Writing, while paper suits candidates who annotate heavily. We prepare you for whichever you choose.

Two years is the standard validity accepted by most institutions, though some set their own shorter window. Always confirm with the receiving organisation.

Most candidates receive results within two business days, and in some cases up to five depending on processing. That speed is a common reason candidates choose PTE when working to a visa deadline.

Not easier, but different. PTE is fully computer-marked, which removes interview nerves but rewards clear, steady delivery and precise adherence to item rules. Candidates who plateau on IELTS Speaking sometimes do better on PTE, and the reverse is also true.

It depends entirely on the university or immigration authority. Common thresholds are 58, 65 and 79 overall, often with minimums in each skill. Confirm the requirement with the receiving body before you start.

Yes, with a skill-level breakdown, so we can see exactly which item types are costing points rather than guessing from an overall number.

Most students need 10 to 16 weeks at two sessions per week. A student starting near 1100 and targeting 1400+ usually needs the longer end. We tell you the honest timeline after the diagnostic test, not before.

The Digital SAT only. It is a module-adaptive test taken in the Bluebook app, and the strategy is materially different from the retired paper test.

Yes. Above 1400 the work becomes precision: eliminating the last two or three careless errors per module and controlling timing. That is a different course from a foundation course, and we run it differently.

Yes. Full-length Bluebook-style mocks are included in the course, marked by the tutor with a written error log — not auto-scored and forgotten.

Yes. The trial lesson is a real teaching session with the tutor who would teach the course. No card details are required. Message our academic team on WhatsApp at +92 300 4568992 to book it.

Punjab boards (Lahore, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Multan, Rawalpindi, Sargodha, Bahawalpur, DG Khan, Sahiwal), the Federal Board, Sindh boards, KPK boards and AJK. We teach to your board's specific paper pattern.

Yes, and for Part II students we usually have to. Part II content sits on Part I foundations, so we repair the earlier chapters in parallel rather than pretending they are finished.

Yes. FSc and the entry tests overlap heavily, so we flag the overlap during the FSc course and move into dedicated entry-test work after the board exams.

Whichever helps the student learn. Most sessions run bilingually — concepts explained in Urdu where that is clearer, with all technical terms and written answers in exam English.

Almost always, and usually quickly. It is nearly always one of four causes — a wrong side, a missed adjustment, a transposed figure, or a balance carried down incorrectly. We diagnose which one it is in the first session.

Sessions run bilingually. Concepts are explained in whichever language makes them land, while all written answers, definitions and formats are practised in exam English.

Yes. Students who learn double entry properly at I.Com level find the professional papers far less punishing. We teach the method, not shortcuts that break later.

Most business schools now accept both. GMAT Focus suits candidates strong in data reasoning and business logic; GRE suits candidates stronger in vocabulary and academic writing. We look at a baseline of both before you commit — it is a 90-minute decision that can save three months.

For a working professional, 10 to 14 weeks at 8–12 hours per week is realistic for a meaningful score gain. Shorter is possible only if the baseline is already close to target.

GMAC allows multiple attempts within published annual and lifetime limits, with a waiting period between attempts. Check the current policy on mba.com before you book, as the limits are periodically revised.
