For capable Edexcel IGCSE students whose marks do not match their ability
The teaching focus is to find why the marks are falling, repair the foundational gaps causing the problem and train the student to convert what they know into Pearson Edexcel IGCSE exam marks.
Who this programme is for
- Pearson Edexcel IGCSE students whose marks have dropped
- Capable students getting results below their potential
- Students who understand explanations but struggle independently
- Students repeatedly losing marks through avoidable mistakes
- Students who struggle when exam questions are presented differently
Common reasons marks are being lost
- Foundational gaps from earlier topics or years
- Choosing the correct method independently
- Showing complete mathematical working
- Careless mistakes and checking problems
- Misreading questions or losing method marks
- Timing pressure in Pearson Edexcel papers
- Struggling with unfamiliar problem-solving questions
Individual-Pace Small Group Tuition
The Pearson Edexcel IGCSE format is limited to a maximum of 6 students. Students do not always have to work on the same lesson at the same time; one may need foundational algebra repair while another is ready for past-paper work.

Real improvement example
One student improved from approximately 20 marks to 55 marks in approximately 3 months after weaknesses were identified, foundations were corrected and practice became more targeted.
- The student is not named publicly.
- The exact weak chapters are not claimed on the website.
- The improvement is presented as one real example, not a promised outcome.
Individual results vary depending on starting level, foundational gaps, attendance, practice and consistency.
Understanding Support Promise
If a student completes the assigned work but still does not understand a concept that has already been covered, Indika provides additional clarification and support at no additional charge.
Teaching approach
Indika Herath first looks for the underlying reason marks are being lost. If the problem comes from earlier Maths foundations, the lesson goes backwards to repair those concepts before building forward into grade-level questions and Pearson Edexcel exam practice.
Examination and grade-level focus
Pearson Edexcel IGCSE topic coverage, marks-based working, accuracy, method selection, timing, past-paper readiness and examination performance.
Class format and availability
There are currently 2 Pearson Edexcel groups, with a maximum of 6 students per group. Classes may be available in Kandy and online, depending on current schedule and the student's needs.
Realistic expectations
This is not a quick-fix Maths class or a grade guarantee. Meaningful recovery usually requires sustained work and depends on the student's starting level, gaps, attendance, practice and consistency.
Discuss your child's Maths before joining
There is no advertised detailed diagnostic before joining. Parents can first discuss the student's grade, syllabus, recent marks and main concern. The detailed diagnostic process begins after the student joins.
