IGCSE Add Maths Tuition for International School Students in Malaysia

Q: Can a student join MathPert's Add Maths class mid-year?

Yes. The class is capped at 8 students specifically so a mid-year joiner can still get direct attention while catching up on the specific gap identified in the diagnostic.

Q: Does MathPert follow the UK or Malaysian academic calendar?

MathPert follows the Malaysian academic calendar (January to December), with a new cohort starting each January. If your child's school runs on the UK calendar (September to July), the diagnostic is used to place them correctly regardless of the mismatch.

Q: Does it matter which exam board variant of Add Maths the school uses?

MathPert teaches Cambridge Additional Mathematics 0606 specifically. If your child's school follows a different exam board (for example Edexcel), that is outside MathPert's current scope; confirm with MathPert directly which syllabus your child sits.

Q: What is the group class fee for international school students?

The same as standard pricing: RM300 per month for new enquiries, 4 sessions of 1.5 hours each, capped at 8 students. One-to-one is RM150 per hour, subject to availability.

Short answer

International schools rarely align on pace, tuition still can

International schools in Malaysia run on different calendars (some UK September to July, some Malaysian January to December) and move through the Cambridge 0606 syllabus at different speeds, which makes it hard to slot straight into a generic tuition class. MathPert's online Add Maths class runs on the Malaysian academic calendar with a diagnostic first, so a student joining mid-year or from a different school pace starts at the right topic, not the wrong one.

Why international school students need a different starting point

Pace varies more than parents expect

Some international schools compress the 0606 syllabus into a single year; others spread it across two. Students transferring schools mid-year, or moving to Malaysia from another country, often arrive partway through topics a generic tuition class would assume they already know, or have not yet reached.

How MathPert places international school students

Diagnostic first, always

Before joining the group class, a diagnostic identifies exactly which 0606 topics a student has already covered and where the real gaps are, so placement is based on the student's actual position, not their school's stated year level.

What stays the same regardless of school

Cambridge sets the exam either way

Whatever the school's internal pace or calendar, the Cambridge 0606 syllabus and exam are the same fixed target. Tuition is built around that fixed target, not around any one school's particular sequencing.

Joining mid-year or after a school transfer

A small group makes late joining manageable

Because the group class is capped at 8 students, a student joining mid-cycle after a school transfer still gets direct attention from Teacher Au to catch up on the specific gap, rather than being lost in a large class already moving on. Start with the free diagnostic to find the right entry point.

Questions parents ask

Frequently asked questions

My child's school syllabus pace differs from a typical tuition class, is that a problem?

Not if placement starts with a diagnostic rather than an assumed year-level starting point. MathPert places international school students based on where they actually are in the 0606 syllabus, not their school's internal pace.
