Dulwich College (Singapore) is a well-regarded British international school in the Buona Vista area, offering Cambridge IGCSE and the IB Diploma Programme. The school has a strong academic reputation and a broad co-curricular programme. Dulwich students are known for their engagement and motivation, and families at Dulwich typically set high academic targets.
IGCSE at Dulwich College Singapore
Dulwich students take Cambridge IGCSE across a range of subjects in Years 10 and 11. The most competitive students target five to eight A* grades, with Mathematics, the triple sciences, and Economics being the subjects where external tuition makes the most measurable difference.
The Cambridge IGCSE Extended papers reward precision, not just knowledge. Students who know the content well but have not practiced the specific question formats — particularly multi-step problem solving in Mathematics and the structured experimental analysis in sciences — often fall short of their target grades. Our tutors bridge this gap with targeted past paper work and detailed mark scheme feedback.
IB Diploma at Dulwich College Singapore
Dulwich students who progress to the IB Diploma face the standard challenges of the programme, amplified by the breadth of subjects required. The subjects we most commonly support Dulwich IB students in are IB Mathematics AA HL, IB Chemistry HL, IB Physics HL, and IB Economics.
IB Mathematics: For AA HL, the calculus and proof topics in Year 1 require early consolidation. Our tutors work through these systematically, ensuring students have a solid foundation before the Paper 3 complexity ramps up in Year 2.
IB Chemistry and Physics: Dulwich’s science labs are well-resourced, and students typically have a strong practical foundation. The challenge is translating practical understanding into the analytical and explanatory writing that Paper 4 and the IA demand. We focus on examination technique and mark scheme alignment.
IB Economics: Dulwich Economics students frequently need support with the HL paper essay structure and the specific evaluation techniques that differentiate 5s from 7s. Our Economics tutors have extensive IB marking experience.
Internal Assessment Support
We assist Dulwich students with Internal Assessments across all supported subjects. IA support includes: research question refinement, methodology design review, data analysis feedback, and final draft proofreading for mark scheme alignment. This is particularly valuable for the Chemistry IA and the Mathematics IA, where the assessment criteria are highly specific.
