Expert online Computer Science tuition for Cambridge International (CAIE) IGCSE — covering every topic from the 0478 syllabus with exam-focused teaching.
How we teach Computer Science
Cambridge IGCSE Computer Science (0478) introduces both halves of the subject — the theory of how computers work and the practical craft of writing programs — through a multiple-choice paper and written papers split by Core and Extended depth. We teach it so the concepts and the coding reinforce each other.
From data representation and hardware to networking, databases and the development lifecycle, the syllabus builds a solid technical foundation, while algorithm design and programming fundamentals develop genuine problem-solving skill. We give particular attention to writing and tracing pseudocode and to the security and ethics issues the specification raises.
Sessions are live and small, pitched to each student’s tier, with plenty of practice turning a problem into a working algorithm.
