Our standard
Every tutor clears a high bar.
UK-qualified teachers
Degree-level subject specialists, many PGCE-trained, who teach to the UK exam standard.
Examiner insight
Tutors who know the mark schemes and coach the exact phrasing that earns every mark.
Vetted & background-checked
Tutors complete interviews, teaching demonstrations and the academy's structured approval process before student assignments.
Matched to your board
You are paired with a specialist in your exact board and tier — never a generalist.
Lesson flow
From confusion to calm, one lesson at a time.
Additional Maths sits between standard IGCSE and A-Level. Our tutors cover every topic with A-Level in mind — building the fluency that makes the transition smooth.
Step 1
Pinpoint the gaps
We start with recent marks, confidence blockers, and the exact exam board so sessions feel personal from lesson one.
Step 2
Teach the mark scheme
Tutors connect concepts to examiner language, worked examples, and the habits that turn knowledge into marks.
Step 3
Track the lift
Parents see what changed after each session: topics covered, next steps, and the grade trajectory we are building toward.
What we cover
A syllabus map students can actually follow.
Functions & Graphs
Domain and range, composite and inverse functions, modulus function, graphical transformations — foundational for all of A-Level Pure Maths.
Quadratic & Polynomial Equations
Completing the square, discriminant, factor and remainder theorems, polynomial division — all essential building blocks.
Indices, Surds & Logarithms
Laws of indices, rationalising surds, laws of logarithms, solving exponential and logarithmic equations.
Coordinate Geometry
Equation of a circle, tangents and normals, coordinate geometry of lines and curves — more rigorous than IGCSE standard.
Trigonometry
Identities (sin²θ + cos²θ = 1, tanθ = sinθ/cosθ), solving trig equations, radian measure, arc length, sector area, and small angle approximations.
Differentiation & Integration
Differentiation from first principles, chain rule, product rule, quotient rule, and integration including definite integrals and areas under curves — a major section.
Vectors & Matrices
Vector notation, magnitude and direction, addition and scalar multiplication, matrices — addition, multiplication, determinant, and inverse.

Common blockers
Where students struggle, and how we fix it.
1Calculus for the first time+
Most students meet calculus for the first time in Additional Maths. We build understanding from first principles before moving to rules — so the techniques make intuitive sense and are not just memorised steps.
2Trigonometric identities+
Proving and applying trig identities is a skill that requires practice and pattern recognition. We teach a systematic approach and build a library of common identities that students can draw from under exam conditions.
3Managing Paper 1 and Paper 2 question styles+
Paper 1 is shorter and quicker, Paper 2 is longer with more complex multi-step questions. We practise both papers under timed conditions and teach time management strategies to ensure students complete both papers.
Proof that feels close to home.

Common Questions.
No — it is an optional extra qualification taken alongside standard IGCSE Maths. However, it is very strongly recommended for students planning to take A-Level Mathematics or Further Mathematics, as it introduces calculus and harder algebra in a manageable context.
Cambridge Additional Maths (0606) is only available at Extended level. Grades range from A* to E — there is no Core tier and no grades F or G. Students who struggle should consider whether standard IGCSE Extended is a better fit.
Yes — differentiation and integration are major components of the syllabus. This is one of the key reasons to take Additional Maths: students arrive at A-Level already familiar with the core calculus techniques.
The content of Additional Maths overlaps substantially with A-Level Year 1 Pure Mathematics. Students who pass Additional Maths find the first term of A-Level Maths significantly more manageable and can focus on deepening understanding rather than learning from scratch.
