“My son really benefited from the way Jafar’s teaches and would not have made it through matric without his help and input. By engaging in regular tutoring, my son was able to rest assured that Jafar would always be there to help through difficult concepts especially in exam periods. From my son’s experience, Jafar was able to convey concepts both in Maths and English, in several different ways if he was not grasping the idea. Jafar also relies heavily on interpersonal skills and engaging with students in order to gauge their level of competence. This allows for students to feel comfortable in asking questions or coming back to a concept with ease and not afraid of asking repeat questions if they struggle with an equation.”

“Luke helped my daughter with English, and I honestly couldn't be happier with how the lessons went. She is normally quite shy when speaking English because it isn't her mother tongue, but Luke got her so engaged. He is very energetic and his enthusiasm was contagious. I could actually hear her giggling in the background during their lessons! I know she has worked hard as well, but Luke really helped bring her out of her shell and made English feel enjoyable rather than something she was nervous about. Her confidence with speaking and expressing herself has improved so much. I’m very grateful for the work he has done with her.”

What you need to know and how we support your child
Pearson International GCSE English is a Pearson Edexcel International GCSE subject. It is a different specification from Cambridge IGCSE and from Pearson Edexcel International A Level. At Global Tutors we specialise in Pearson International GCSE English and teach to the Pearson specification your child is entered for. We match your child with a tutor who fits their level and goals.
For Pearson International GCSE English, we focus on analysis of texts, essay technique, and the language or literature skills your child's curriculum requires. Our tutors help your child plan responses and write with clarity and precision.
Lessons follow the Pearson Edexcel specification named for Pearson International GCSE English. International GCSE and International A Level are separate qualifications, with their own papers. We use past papers and mark schemes from the one your child is entered for.
Sessions are one-to-one. Where the specification includes coursework, we help with planning and feedback. We guide planning and feedback, but we do not write or complete assessed work for the student.
We follow the specification and examiner materials so your child can progress to the next level with confidence.
We focus on the command words and mark-scheme language that examiners use for Pearson International GCSE English.

Feedback from our parents, school leaders, and students
We found Kenan for our son because we wanted him to practise his English more regularly. He is quite a shy boy and would usually become very quiet when he had to speak English. Kenan has been wonderful with him. They have lessons every Saturday, but it feels much more like a con…

Study strategy
A clear path from your syllabus or specification to exam day
Throughout the course

From at least one term before exams
Practise with Pearson Edexcel past papers under timed conditions. Use mark schemes and examiner materials to see how marks are awarded and how to structure answers. Identify question types and command words.
Mid to late revision
Focus on applying knowledge to new contexts. We work through harder problems and extended questions so your child develops the skills the specification requires for progression.
Weeks before the exam

Use Pearson Edexcel past papers and mark schemes as the core of your revision.

Pearson qualifications are closely aligned to the British system and recognised internationally. Start with a clear map of your child's specification and their strengths and gaps.
Use past papers and mark schemes early so you know the format and how marks are awarded. Active recall and timed practice work well.
In the run-up to exams, prioritise full past papers and exam technique. Our tutors can tailor this to your child's subject and level (International GCSE, International A Level, UK GCSE) and focus on the topics and question types your child finds hardest.

Outcomes depend on commitment, starting level, and goals. We focus on sustainable progress and exam readiness where relevant.
Our tutors are qualified educators with experience in Pearson International GCSE English. We match you with someone who fits your child's level, goals, and schedule. All tutors are vetted and supported by Global Tutors. You can see tutor profiles and specialisms when you search so you choose someone aligned to your child's curriculum and subject.
Sessions are delivered on our interactive online learning platform. Your child can learn from home or anywhere with a stable internet connection. We use a dedicated platform designed for one-to-one learning so your child can focus on the lesson. Your child will need a device with a camera and microphone; many students use a laptop or tablet. No special software is required beyond the link we send you.
Our tutors are familiar with Pearson Edexcel International GCSE, International A Level, and UK GCSE. We align teaching to your specification and use past papers and mark schemes so your child's preparation matches what examiners expect. Pearson Edexcel qualifications are widely accepted for university entry (check destination requirements).
We hand pick the best tutor for your child's needs. Tell us your child's subject, level, curriculum (e.g. IB (International Baccalaureate), Cambridge, IEB), and goals (e.g. exam prep, coursework help, or general support). We recommend a tutor and you book your child's first lesson. If the fit is not right, our Fit-First Guarantee lets you request a replacement so you can try another tutor for your child at no extra cost.
We offer a Fit-First Guarantee: if your child's first lesson is not the right match, we'll replace your child's tutor - no questions asked. The replacement must be for the same subject and curriculum. This way you can focus on finding the right tutor without worrying about commitment after one session.
Where appropriate, yes. We use the specification, past papers, mark schemes, and examiner materials. Your school may also provide Pearson resources; we work with whatever materials your child has and complement them with targeted practice and feedback.
Pearson Edexcel International GCSE is designed for international schools and is recognised globally; UK GCSE (9-1) is for the UK market. Both are Pearson Edexcel qualifications. We support whichever your child is taking - tell us your child's qualification and we align our teaching to the right specification.
Yes. Sessions are scheduled around your availability. You can arrange regular weekly slots or book ad-hoc lessons depending on your package and tutor availability. Many students have a fixed time each week; others prefer to book as they go, especially during exam revision.
Our standard offering is one-to-one tutoring so that sessions are tailored to your child. If you are interested in small-group support for your child (e.g. siblings or friends), contact us and we can discuss options.
