IGCSE Additional Maths Tutor (0606)

Additional Mathematics is the hardest examination most students sit before A Level, and it is frequently taught as a bolt-on to the main Mathematics course by a teacher already covering 0580 to a full class. That is why capable students find it disproportionately difficult: the content is genuinely different, including differentiation and integration, and it needs to be taught as its own course.

What 0606 actually covers

Where 0580 Extended finishes, 0606 begins. The syllabus includes:
  • Functions
  • Quadratic and simultaneous equations at greater depth
  • Indices and surds
  • Logarithmic and exponential functions
  • Factors of polynomials
  • Straight-line graphs
  • Circular measure
  • Trigonometry including identities and equations
  • Permutations and combinations
  • Series and the binomial theorem
  • Vectors
And — the section that most defines the course — differentiation and integration with their applications.

Why take additional mathematics at all

It is the best available preparation for A Level Mathematics. Students who have done 0606 start A Level Mathematics already fluent in differentiation, integration and trigonometric identities.
It supports A Level Physics, where the mathematical demand catches out students who arrive from 0580 alone.
It maps directly onto IB Mathematics AA HL, which assumes exactly this kind of algebraic fluency.
It is a genuine signal. An A or A* in 0606 tells a sixth form or an admissions office something specific about mathematical ability.
It is not for everyone. A student who is finding 0580 Extended difficult should not add 0606; the result is usually two weaker grades instead of one strong one.

The three things that makes 0606 hard

Calculus arrives with no run-up

Differentiation and integration are introduced and examined within the same year, with far less consolidation time than A Level allows.

Questions chain topics

A single question may require a trigonometric identity, then differentiation, then interpretation of a stationary point. Topic-by-topic revision does not prepare a student for that.

It is often taught in the margins

Fewer timetabled hours, sometimes outside the main mathematics lesson, sometimes by a teacher covering it in addition to a full load.

Student testimonial

frequently asked questions

Take it if they are comfortably in the top band of 0580 Extended and heading towards A Level Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or IB Mathematics AA HL. Do not take it to strengthen an application if 0580 Extended is already a struggle.
No. It is taken in addition to it, not as a replacement.
Substantially. The calculus content alone is beyond anything in 0580, and the questions integrate topics rather than testing them separately.
Not formally required by most sixth forms, but students who have done it start noticeably ahead and find the first term far easier.
Ideally at the start of the 0606 course. Starting after the first calculus topics have been covered means back-filling while new content continues.
Yes — Edexcel’s equivalent (4PM1) covers similar ground with a different paper structure. See Edexcel IGCSE coaching.
Typically two hours a week of tutoring alongside school teaching, more during the calculus topics.
Considerably, for Mathematics AA HL in particular. See IB Maths tutoring.
