Cambridge 0610 has two routes: Core (grades C–G) and Extended (A*–G), and the school chooses. Edexcel 4BI1 has no routes: everyone sits the same two papers. A school's name does not tell you its board, so check the last report or the exam entry. See our IGCSE Biology tutoring page for the wider subject.

Exam boards we cover
If you are not sure which one your child takes, check the last report or exam entry letter.
Core route (grades C–G): Paper 1 multiple choice and Paper 3 theory. Extended route (A*–G): Paper 2 multiple choice (45 minutes, 40 marks, 30%) and Paper 4 theory (1 h 15, 80 marks, 50%). Everyone also sits Paper 5 practical test (1 h 15) or Paper 6 alternative to practical (1 hour), worth 20%. 0610 is graded A*–G and 0970 is the same course graded 9–1.
Graded 9–1 with no Core and Extended split. Paper 1 is 2 hours and 110 marks (61.1%); Paper 2 is 1 h 15 and 70 marks (38.9%) and also covers the extra content in bold. Students on the Science Double Award sit Paper 1 only.
We teach IGCSE Biology students from schools across Dubai, including:
Most Dubai IGCSE candidates sit the May/June series at the end of Year 11, after school mocks. Lessons run after school Monday to Thursday, on Friday afternoon after the 12pm finish, and at weekends on Saturday and Sunday. During Ramadan, when schools shorten the day, we move lessons to suit your family. We are an independent tutoring provider and are not affiliated with any school.

Areas we cover
Lessons are live online, so IGCSE Biology students anywhere in Dubai can book on UAE time. Area names describe the families served and do not imply a physical teaching centre.
What we fix
"Water moves" earns less than "water moves by osmosis from a dilute to a concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane."
How tutoring helps:Drill the mark-scheme vocabulary for each topic until it is automatic.
Students explain when asked to describe a graph, and lose the easy marks.
How tutoring helps:Read the command word first, then match the answer to it.
Paper 6 and Edexcel's practical-based questions reward planning a fair test, naming variables and processing data.
How tutoring helps:Work through examiner-style practical questions, not just theory.
Magnification, percentage change and rate questions are frequent and easy to drop.
How tutoring helps:Give each a fixed method and practise it to the clock.

Reviews from Dubai IGCSE Biology students and parents.
4.0/57 reviews on TrustpilotAisha A.
Parent of IGCSE Student · Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai
My son was having trouble remembering Biology concepts and writing answers the way examiners expect. His tutor at Combo Tutors Academy explains each topic clearly and uses diagrams and past-paper questions during the lessons. He is much more confident now, especially with genetics and human biology.

IGCSE Student · Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai
IGCSE Biology used to feel overwhelming because there was so much content to remember. My tutor helped me understand the topics instead of just memorising them and showed me how to structure longer exam answers. My test scores have improved, and I feel much better prepared for the final exams.
IGCSE Biology in Dubai
Cambridge 0610 has two routes: Core (grades C–G) and Extended (A*–G). Edexcel 4BI1 has none: everyone sits the same papers. The school chooses the Cambridge route, so ask the Biology teacher before mocks.
The content and papers are the same. 0610 is graded A*–G and 0970 is graded 9–1. Schools pick one.
Paper 5 is a practical test in a lab and Paper 6 is a written alternative to practical. Both count for 20%. The school decides, and we prepare students for either.
Usually precise terminology, misread command words or weak data handling. The trial lesson works through one marked paper to find which.
Starting in Year 10 gives time to build technique steadily. In Year 11, start before mocks so feedback can be acted on.
Yes. See IGCSE Chemistry tutors in Dubai and IGCSE Physics tutors in Dubai. Each subject gets its own specialist.
