We cover every major specification. Your tutor matches your board, tier, and mark-scheme language so every lesson points toward exam performance.
The most widely taken GCSE Maths specification in England. Three papers: one non-calculator and two calculator. Foundation and Higher tiers.
Popular with academies and independent schools. Three papers with a similar structure to AQA. Slightly different question phrasing — our tutors know both.
Offered at many schools across England. Three papers — one non-calculator, two calculator. Notable for its multi-step reasoning questions.

Our tutors cover the complete Foundation and Higher tier curriculum, with targeted focus on the topics where students most commonly drop marks.
Step 1
We start with recent marks, confidence blockers, and the exact exam board so sessions feel personal from lesson one.
Step 2
Tutors connect concepts to examiner language, worked examples, and the habits that turn knowledge into marks.
Step 3
Parents see what changed after each session: topics covered, next steps, and the grade trajectory we are building toward.
Fractions, decimals, percentages, surds, standard form, indices, prime factorisation, HCF and LCM — the non-calculator paper particularly rewards solid number skills.
Expanding brackets, factorising, solving linear and quadratic equations, simultaneous equations, inequalities, sequences, and algebraic proof.
Plotting and interpreting linear, quadratic, cubic, and reciprocal graphs, function notation, transformations, and gradient/area under curves.
Direct and inverse proportion, ratio problems, percentage change, compound interest, speed/distance/time — frequently tested across all three papers.
Angles, polygons, circle theorems, congruence, similarity, area and volume, Pythagoras' theorem, and trigonometry — often worth 30%+ of Higher tier marks.
Mean, median, mode, range, frequency tables, cumulative frequency, box plots, histograms, tree diagrams, Venn diagrams, and conditional probability.

Higher tier papers include multi-step questions where the method is not given. We teach students to recognise problem types, identify the relevant technique, and show working that earns method marks even if the final answer is wrong.
Paper 1 is non-calculator and rewards fast, accurate mental and written arithmetic. We practise times tables, long multiplication, dividing decimals, and working with fractions until these are automatic.
Circle theorems are a reliable Higher tier topic. We teach each theorem with its name, diagram, and a proof — then practise applying them in multi-step angle problems where two or three theorems are combined.
Specialist tutors with board knowledge, strong academic backgrounds, and proven grade-improvement records.

The circle theorem questions always tripped me up. By the end of tutoring they were the section I was most confident in. I scored a Grade 9.

We started six weeks before the exam. The tutor focused purely on the highest-value topics. My daughter went from Grade 5 to Grade 8. Exceptional value.

Academic Excellence
Families usually want three things: a tutor their child respects, a plan that fits the real paper, and updates that make progress easy to follow.
We shortlist tutors who know the curriculum, teach clearly, and can coach the exact exam habits that lift marks.
Top-university academics and exam-savvy specialists.
Parents see what was covered, what improved, and what needs attention next, so progress never feels vague.
Structured feedback after every lesson block.
Sessions are matched to the student's board, tier, topic gaps, and exam timeline instead of generic subject tutoring.
Board-specific support with a measurable target grade path.
Foundation tier gives access to grades 1–5. Higher tier gives access to grades 4–9. We can help you decide which tier is appropriate and — if you are on Foundation and want to switch — help make that transition as smooth as possible.
Yes — AQA (8300), Edexcel (1MA1), and OCR (J560). We use your specific exam board's past papers and mark schemes in every session.
Ideally 3–6 months before the exam allows time to cover content gaps and build exam technique. However, we regularly see significant improvements in students who start 6–10 weeks out with intensive focused sessions.
Yes — Paper 1 is a common weak point. We build non-calculator arithmetic skills (fractions, decimals, surds, standard form) and practise the specific Paper 1 question types so students are fully prepared.
Our students improve by an average of 2.0 grades over a full tutoring period. Students who start further below their target and practise consistently between sessions tend to see the biggest improvements.
