Complete coverage of Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics, Core and Extended, taught in small groups with relentless focus on the mark schemes that decide the grade.
Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics (0580) is the standard, high-stakes math qualification nearly every international-school student takes, across two tiers: Core (grades C–G) and Extended (grades A*–C). Brainiac covers both in full, in classes capped at 10, with constant past-paper practice. This page covers IGCSE Mathematics (0580) only.

Full coverage of both Core and Extended tiers, Years 10–11.
Two tiers, two papers each. We prepare students for both.
Knowing the math isn't the same as scoring the marks. Our tutors know the IGCSE Mathematics (0580) mark scheme in detail and teach exactly how marks are awarded: showing the method, using correct notation, giving exact non-calculator values, and managing the clock across both papers.
Because Singapore is ranked #1 in the world for Math (OECD PISA 2022) and our tutors were trained in that system, your child learns not just what to do but how to present it in the way the mark scheme rewards.
In a group of up to 10, we target each student's weak topics, drill past papers, and report progress in writing after every block.
Student Support
Our approach is built on the methods that make Singapore the #1 country in the world for Math (OECD PISA 2022), applied directly to the 0580 mark scheme. We begin each topic by securing conceptual understanding, because students who understand why a method works can adapt it when a question is phrased differently. This is what separates students who drop method marks from those who don't.
Past papers are drilled regularly under timed conditions, with explicit coaching on command words ("show that", "calculate", "estimate"), correct notation and when to give exact versus rounded answers. Because classes are capped at up to 10, every student's working is checked in real time. Misconceptions are caught immediately rather than embedded, and you receive a written progress report every block.
Every two-hour session follows a clear, repeatable rhythm.
