GCSE Maths Tutors
Ten specialist Maths tutors for AQA, nine of them for Edexcel too, at both tiers. Every lesson is built from past papers and real mark scheme feedback.
Six things a general tutor will not give you.
Maths marks are lost in specific, repeatable ways. Everything below exists because of something a student kept dropping marks on.
GCSE Maths at a Glance
GCSE Maths is graded 9 to 1 and sat at one of two tiers. Foundation caps the grade at 5. Higher runs from 4 up to 9.
All three boards set three papers of equal weight, each lasting 90 minutes. One paper is non-calculator; the other two allow a calculator.
The tier is chosen with your school, usually after the Year 11 mocks. Our tutors go through those mock papers with you before entries close.
Every GCSE Maths Topic We Cover
The five topic areas, with the share of marks each carries at Higher tier. Ofqual sets these weightings, so they are the same on every board.
Practice From Real Maths Papers
Lessons work through genuine past papers and their mark schemes, not imitation questions written to look like them.
AQA GCSE Maths
Three 90-minute papers. Paper 1 is non-calculator, Papers 2 and 3 allow one. Each carries a third of the marks.
Edexcel GCSE Maths
The same three-paper structure as AQA, with questions worded differently. Tutors teach to the paper your child will sit.
Marked as an examiner would
Work is marked against the real mark scheme, so method marks lost to missing working show up before the exam.
Weak-topic drills
Questions pulled from several years of papers on one topic, so a weak area gets fixed instead of revisited once.
Exam technique
Decoding command words, structuring 6-mark answers, and timing, the marks students leave on the table.
An hour built around the marks your child is losing.
We start from the mark scheme, not the next chapter
Your tutor marks a recent paper first and finds where the method marks went. The lesson is built from those questions, not from wherever the textbook happens to be.
Worked live, not watched
Students solve problems on a shared whiteboard while the tutor watches the working, so a wrong method is caught as it happens.
Practice set every week
Each lesson ends with questions on the topic just covered, marked before the next one so nothing is assumed.

Where GCSE Maths Marks Are Really Lost
Most lost marks are not topics a student cannot do. They come from working not shown, rounding too early, and units left off the answer.
Working not shown
Method marks are awarded for the steps, not just the answer. A correct answer with no working can still score zero.
Rounding too early
Rounding mid-calculation shifts the final answer outside the accepted range. Tutors teach students to round once, at the end.
Command words missed
"Show that", "prove" and "estimate" each demand a different response. Students lose marks by answering the wrong question well.
Units and accuracy
Marks go for the unit and the stated accuracy. On a calculator paper this is the cheapest mark to drop.

What Parents Have Said About Us
maths has always been a struggle for my son until we found this tutoring service. the tutor broke down complex algebra and calculus into manageable steps.

outstanding maths tuition. the regular past paper drills made all the difference in building my daughter's speed and accuracy under exam conditions.
GCSE Maths Questions
Should my child take Foundation or Higher?
Foundation caps the grade at 5. A child targeting 6 or above needs Higher. We review the mocks with you before entries close.
Can you prepare for a November resit?
Yes. Maths and English Language are the two subjects with a November series. We run intensive resit blocks from September.
Which boards do your Maths tutors teach?
All ten teach the AQA course and nine also teach Edexcel. Each profile lists the boards that tutor covers, subject by subject.
How many lessons a week?
One 60-minute lesson weekly suits most students. Two is common in the term before the exam, or after a weak mock.
Which calculator should my child use?
Any scientific calculator allowed by the board. Tutors teach the keystrokes for the model your child already owns, not a different one.
Is AQA Maths easier than Edexcel?
No. Ofqual regulates all three boards to the same standard and sets the same topic weightings. Only the wording of questions differs.
Other Subjects We Teach
Eleven subjects, each taught by a specialist who works to your own exam board course.
