The IGCSE English course focuses on developing language proficiency in reading, writing, and communication, covering a range of literary genres and enhancing critical analysis skills to prepare students for effective communication and comprehension in English. Students will engage with diverse texts, refine language usage, and demonstrate a deep understanding of literary and non-literary works.
The IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) is designed to prepare the students for the Cambridge University Examination. The course material is not just handed over to the student, to begin with, but rather tailored to the needs of the individual. For IGCSE English, there are 3 divisions such as English as a First Language, English as a Second Language and English Literature.
At Growing Stars, our students are treated as unique learning individuals and not just a number. We understand that not everyone can grasp the complexities of the English language at the same speed. Therefore, our IGCSE English Tutors ensure that each individual receives as much guidance as is needed by them.
You do not need any prior knowledge or experience to take this course. This course is available to anyone who desires to take part in a satisfying home study course and wishes to enhance their fluency in the English language.
However, it is required that you do possess a reasonable standard of reading ability and literacy to follow through the instructions in the course. With the full support of your Tutor, you have the freedom to start the course at any time and continue your studies at your own pace. You will have dedicated Tutor Support for 12 months. The course requires that you have access to email to contact your Tutor. All assignments will be marked by a professional Tutor who will then revert to you with feedback and further guide you through the course.
We ensure in every possible way that there is unlimited support available in every way for your home study course, so you are never left feeling isolated or lost during your study. The course has several assignments on which your IGCSE English Tutor will grade you and also provide you with valuable feedback.

During early sessions, the academic Tutor can gauge the student’s knowledge of the English language. Knowing the student well, the Tutor can then slowly work on introducing new areas of knowledge that build on to the existing knowledge already known by the student. The Tutor also develops a study plan that pinpoints areas of strength and areas of opportunity for growth. As the course progresses, the instructor makes adjustments to the study plan so that more time is spent on concepts that need attention.
Working with an academic Tutor is unique as it gives the student personal attention which is not experienced in a traditional classroom. The personal attention allows the Tutor to identify and teach according to the student’s learning style.
By working with a personal Tutor, the student can get a systematic understanding of the grammar, vocabulary, and literature related to the English language. Our proficient IGCSE English tutors reinforce an understanding of the English language by guiding students through all the areas covered in the course. This approach enables our students to enhance both their written and oral communication skills in English.
Since one of the major goals of the IGCSE English Curriculum is to ensure students are able to effectively communicate in the English language, the Tutor can focus more time on those topics with the student. Whether you choose to work with an in-person or online Tutor the benefits to the student are incredible. Both options allow the student to study at a time frame that is scheduled as per their needs.
Online sessions are highly convenient requiring only an internet connection and a device such as a laptop, smartphone or tablet. In-person sessions can be scheduled anytime at any location that is free of distraction such as your home or a quiet place such as a library. Our Online Tutors at Growing Stars help build the ability in students to successfully understand and effectively communicate in English. Our IGCSE English Personal Tutors are able to accommodate students’ schedules to provide convenience.
You will also be provided with the telephone number specific to your Student Support Team who will be available for any other questions or difficulties that you may have while you are completing the course. Also, a live Tutor allows the flexibility to give the student immediate answers to the questions that arise in students’ minds as they are learning.
