Moving Up
A learner's account keeps their history as they move from Stage 9 into IGCSE and from IGCSE into AS Level: the tutors know what was covered, and a parent or teacher sees the whole record.
A learner joining mid-way starts in their current year. The tutor keeps to that year's syllabus and can look back to fill a gap when asked.
Questions
Do you teach Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary?
Yes. Stage 1 to Stage 9 in English, Mathematics, Science, Computing, Digital Literacy, Global Perspectives, Art & Design, Music and Physical Education, with a tutor for each.
And after IGCSE?
AS and A Level in Year 12 and 13: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, Business, English Literature, Geography, History, Psychology and Global Perspectives & Research.
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.
