Not content tutorials. Every workshop is a paper-mapped session led by a facilitator who knows what Cambridge CAIE examiners reward, followed by community support 7 days a week. Cambridge CAIE uses an A*–G grading scale, distinct from the 9–1 scale used by some other international boards.
Cambridge CAIE marks are awarded against a published scheme — not just a correct final answer. We teach students exactly where marks come from.
The same command word means something different depending on which tier your child is sitting. We teach to the tier your child is actually entered for.
Seeing how a peer approached a question they found hard reveals gaps no amount of solo revision shows you.
Capped at 15 students. Never a lecture hall, never a recording on a loop.

Cambridge CAIE command words carry the same name across tiers — but what counts as a complete answer scales with the tier. Misreading this costs marks a student had already earned the knowledge for.
| Command Word | Lower Tier Expects | Upper Tier Expects |
|---|---|---|
| Calculate | Work out a numeric answer using a given method — a calculator answer with no working may still score if it matches. | Same expectation, but Extended-tier calculations often chain multiple steps, including algebraic manipulation before the final substitution. |
| Show that | Demonstrate the given result using a method an examiner can follow line by line — usually a direct substitution check. | Same demand, but Extended-tier "show that" questions often require algebraic proof rather than a numeric check. |
| Write down | A direct answer with no working required. | Same — but Extended questions sometimes embed a "write down" inside a longer structured question. |
| Find | Obtain the answer by any correct method, showing relevant working. | Same, but Extended-tier "find" questions more often involve algebraic fractions, surds, or trigonometric identities. |
