Quick answer: Velocity Tuition Academy provides online 1-on-1 tutoring for IGCSE, A-Level, IB (MYP and Diploma) and Digital SAT students in London, across the UK and Europe. We cover Cambridge (CAIE), Edexcel and IB across all major subjects, plus Digital SAT preparation for students applying to US universities, with sessions scheduled around UK and European school calendars and time zones. Every new student starts with a free diagnostic trial.
London is the largest and most diverse IGCSE market in the UK. The city has a substantial South Asian, Arab, and East African diaspora — particularly across East London, North London, and the outer boroughs — where IGCSE subjects are sat both through independent schools and as private candidates, often in Urdu, Arabic, the sciences, and Economics. At the same time, London's independent school sector has a strong IB presence, particularly at schools like North London Collegiate and Southbank International, alongside a large number of schools running Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel IGCSE programmes.
A growing number of London and UK students prepare for the Digital SAT to apply to universities in the United States, alongside their IGCSE, A-Level or IB studies and their UCAS applications. We also tutor students across Europe who sit the SAT for US admissions. Our Digital SAT preparation covers the Bluebook format, Desmos technique and full-length timed practice.
The challenge in London is not finding a tutor. It is finding the right one. The city has thousands of tutors, but the vast majority are experienced with UK national curriculum boards — AQA, OCR, Edexcel GCSE — not the Cambridge IGCSE Extended specification or Edexcel International GCSE, which are structurally different exams with different mark schemes and question styles. Families whose children are on the international curriculum often discover this mismatch too late. Velocity Tuition Academy specialises exclusively in Cambridge CAIE, Edexcel International, and IB — the boards that matter for international school students in London.
We work with London students on IGCSE Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Urdu, and all 13 subjects in our catalogue. Sessions are fully online, 1-on-1, and scheduled around school timetables and London family routines.
London follows a Monday–Friday school week. Weekday evenings and Saturday mornings are our busiest London slots.
Many London independent schools enter students for IGCSE or International GCSE in some or all subjects, especially Maths, the sciences and languages, while state schools mostly follow UK GCSEs. We tutor the international routes only: Cambridge IGCSE, Pearson Edexcel International GCSE, Cambridge and Edexcel International A Levels, and the IB. If your child's school lists a syllabus code such as 0580, 4MA1 or 9709, we can match a specialist to it.
For Year 13 students the UCAS calendar shapes the year. For 2027 entry, applications to Oxford, Cambridge and most medicine, dentistry and veterinary courses were due by 18:00 UK time on 15 October 2026. The equal consideration deadline for most other courses is 18:00 UK time on 13 January 2027. After that, predicted grades turn into firm or insurance offers, so the spring mock season matters.
London families most often ask us for A-Level Maths and Further Maths, Chemistry before the January mocks, IB HL Physics and Chemistry, and help with the UCAS personal statement. All lessons are 1-on-1 and online, so there is no cross-London travel after school.

London has thousands of tutors. Most know the UK national curriculum. We know Cambridge CAIE, Edexcel International, and IB — the boards that international school students in London actually sit.
South Asian, Arab, and East African families across East and North London have strong IGCSE engagement. We work with these communities regularly — particularly for Urdu, sciences, and social science subjects.
Scheduling, updates, and questions all on WhatsApp. No portals, no waiting. Direct and responsive.
Weekday evenings from 5pm and Saturday mornings are our primary London slots. We fit around your child's school timetable without compromise.
London families prepare for IGCSE and A‑Level at leading independent schools and sixth form colleges across the capital. We tutor the Cambridge and Edexcel International pathways and support students sitting as private candidates.
London has one of the UK's largest home education communities. Home education is legal and does not require formal registration in England — families simply notify the local authority when withdrawing a child from school. Private IGCSE candidates in London register through accredited exam centres for Cambridge and Edexcel, and there are multiple centres across Greater London that accept external entries.
London home educators who come to us are often managing complex subject loads across multiple boards. Some are preparing for Cambridge IGCSE across five or more subjects; others are focused on one or two papers to supplement existing qualifications. We build the programme around the specific subjects, exam series, and current level — systematic coverage, past paper training, mark scheme language, and progress tracking throughout.

Yes. Home-educated students, students between schools and those resitting can enter as private candidates at exam centres that accept external entries, which include some independent schools, colleges and specialist private-candidate centres in and around London. Availability varies by board and subject, and centres set their own fees and closing dates well ahead of the board's deadline.
Science subjects need early planning, because a centre has to be able to host the practical or alternative-to-practical paper. Our private candidate guide walks through the steps, and IGCSE exam dates lists the summer and November sessions.
Dedicated pages for the most requested IB subjects in London, each built around the current IB guide: IB Physics, IB Chemistry, IB Biology and IB Maths (AA and AI).
UK students applying to US universities alongside UCAS usually sit the Digital SAT at a UK test centre on College Board's Bluebook app. The 2027 sittings are 6 March, 1 May and 5 June 2027, with 5 December 2026 still available this term (College Board dates and deadlines).
