As education in Asia pushes forward to equal that of global standards, there is no doubt that international education qualifications are becoming more of a necessity than an option. One example of this is the International General Certificate of Secondary Education or the IGCSE, one of the most popular international qualifications for 14 to 16 year old students all over the world. Aside from giving students an academic edge over their peers, IGCSE serves as a gateway into placement at top local universities, or admission into colleges or universities abroad. More importantly, it equips students with a global sense of learning that makes them more ready to be employed and chosen by companies worldwide.
That said, we have rounded up seven tuition platforms in Hong Kong that offers IGCSE maths tutorial to Hong Kong-based students and those residing outside Hong Kong.
