CambriLearn is an accredited online school offering the International British Curriculum — IGCSE, AS and A Level — alongside other pathways, with live timetabled lessons, a recorded lesson library, marked assignments and progress reports. Its own pages list 2026/27 fees of about £493 (around USD 670) per International GCSE subject a year on the Standard package and £974 (around USD 1,320) on Premium, plus registration — so six IGCSE subjects come to roughly £3,000–5,900 a year before exam fees.

For families who want to replace school entirely, that can be good value. Many families searching for a CambriLearn alternative don’t want to switch schools at all — they want better results in a few subjects, or a lower-cost route to IGCSEs as private candidates.

1. One-to-one lessons, priced by the hour

On average Tutopiya tutoring costs SGD 10–20 per hour — about USD 8–16, or £6–12. Pay only for the subjects your child needs, not a full school package.

3. The same specialist tutor every week

Students take a monthly tutoring plan with regular weekly lessons with the same tutor — every minute focused on your child, not a class.

4. AI lesson analysis after every lesson

Minutes after each lesson, AI Lesson Analysis turns it into a revision pack: a lesson overview for parents, the key challenges your child struggled with, study objectives, notes, a mind map, flashcards and a quiz to use as homework. See everything it creates →

5. Every subject’s resources for about USD 75 a year

The Tutopiya Learning Portal covers 15 curricula, 130 subjects and more than 8,600 subtopics — study notes, practice questions by difficulty, quizzes, flashcards, past papers and built-in AI help. A large section is free, and Premium unlocks every subject and every curriculum for SGD 96 a year (about USD 75).
