01What we can work on together
Explain algorithms, trace their steps and test a program against normal and boundary cases. Connect computing theory with practical examples. Describe the input and expected output before coding. Trace a short example by hand, locate a failing case and explain why a change fixes it.
02Match practice to your course
Check whether the course is Cambridge IGCSE or another board’s international GCSE. Subject options, tiers, permitted calculators and assessment components can differ. Always use the material for your actual examination session.
03Make the lesson fit your school work in Hong Kong
For tutoring in Hong Kong, begin with the qualification rather than the school year alone. Students in the same year may take IB, IGCSE, A-level or HKDSE courses. Bring the current guide and recent feedback so the lesson follows your own pathway. Bring an attempted question so your tutor can see how you reason, then agree what to practise next.
