How IGCSE Is Taught Here
A TUTOR FOR EVERY SUBJECT
Each of the 18 IGCSE subjects has a tutor anchored to its Cambridge syllabus. Ask by voice or text at any hour; the answer is taught from the syllabus and worked on a board you can read back.
PRACTICE BUDDY
Upload the past paper or mark scheme you have and the buddy takes you through it question by question, marks your answers and explains what the examiner wanted. No paper to hand? It sets questions from the syllabus instead.
WORKED ON THE BOARD
Every explanation is written out on an interactive board as it is spoken: the equation, the diagram, the essay plan. Read it back, copy it into your notes, ask for it another way.
SCIENCE PRACTICALS IN 3D
Biology, Chemistry, Combined Science, Physics: practical work on a 3D bench, marked on the server, repeatable until the method is yours.
HOMESCHOOLING
A tutor per subject, assignments, a parent dashboard and a teacher when you want one. Homeschooled learners sit the exams as private candidates.
BEFORE AND AFTER IGCSE
Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary (Stage 1 to 9) before it, AS and A Level after it, on the same account.
Why Not Just Search The Internet?
Because the internet does not know which syllabus you sit. Every tutor and buddy on CognitaSTEM is anchored to the Cambridge IGCSE syllabus and to the files you upload, and to nothing else: your syllabus and your files are the only truth they teach from. A question about moles gets the IGCSE answer at the IGCSE depth, not a university one.
Questions
Which IGCSE subjects do you cover?
All 18: Accounting, Additional Mathematics, Art & Design, Biology, Business Studies, Chemistry, Combined Science, Computer Science, Economics, English as a Second Language, English First Language, English Literature, Geography, Global Perspectives, History, ICT, Mathematics, Physics. Each has a page listing its syllabus topics.
Which years?
Year 10 (IGCSE 1) and Year 11 (IGCSE 2) for IGCSE itself, and the Cambridge years around it: Primary Stage 1 to 6, Lower Secondary Stage 7 to 9, and AS and A Level in Year 12 and 13.
Where do the answers come from?
From the Cambridge IGCSE syllabus and the files you upload, and nothing else. The tutors and buddies are grounded in the syllabus topics listed on these pages and in the past papers, notes and mark schemes you give them; they do not invent facts or pull from the open internet. Your syllabus and your files are the only truth they teach from.
Is this free?
A free account gives you the tutors with a daily allowance, the 3D labs and the Practice Buddies. Premium adds unlimited tutor time; the pricing page has the current price in Kenyan shillings, and schools and homeschooling families pay the same.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Everything runs in the browser on an ordinary smartphone over mobile data, including the 3D labs, which are built for low-end phones.
Do you register candidates for the exams?
No. Cambridge IGCSE exams are sat at a registered Cambridge school or exam centre; homeschooled learners enter as private candidates. CognitaSTEM teaches and revises the syllabus and tells you exactly where a learner stands before the exam.
