Course information for the Cambridge iGCSE English Language video course (with tutor-marked assignments) – updated for first sitting 2027 exams
What is covered in this course
This course has been revised to reflect updates to the syllabus and is suitable for exams from May 2027 onwards.
The complete Cambridge iGCSE interactive video course is self-paced and ideal for independent learners. The course is comprehensive and comprises over 30 interactive video lessons, totalling over 40 hours of content. Each recorded tutorial is 1-1.5 hours in length. A breakdown of what’s included in each of the course units is provided below.
The course focuses on mastering skills and each lesson is aligned to a specific syllabus area. Students can pause the video at key points and attempt questions before comparing their answers with model responses I have written so they can self-assess and check they’re on track.
As each lesson maps onto a section of the syllabus, students build all the core skills gradually and a range of supplementary resources are provided to extend reading, develop skills and consolidate understanding.
As this is a video course, you have complete flexibility to decide your timescale and work through the material at your own pace. You can start at any point in the year and complete the course over six months or two years.
This course option includes grading and in-depth feedback on ten assignments taken from past papers and detailed guidance on how to strengthen responses. I recommend students complete all the modules a month before the exams, so they have the opportunity to put all they have learnt into practice and can use past papers to hone their skills. There are two sittings available each year.
Students do not need to purchase any additional materials – all resources are provided.
Once you have placed your order, you will receive an email with details on how to access all the course content via Google Classroom. You can also join a closed Facebook group where you can connect with other learners and I will share ideas, advice, hints and tips.
