What your child works on

Lessons follow the specification your child is actually sitting, and start from the gaps that cost them marks.

  • The whole course: number, algebra, ratio and proportion, geometry, probability and statistics.
  • Non-calculator skills: confident written methods for the paper where there is nothing to lean on.
  • Problem-solving: the multi-step and worded questions where many students lose marks.
  • Past papers: practice with real questions and mark schemes, so your child learns what examiners reward.
  • Tier and target: honest advice on Foundation or Higher, and a realistic grade to aim for.

GCSE Maths, explained for parents

GCSE Maths is sat at one of two tiers. Foundation tier covers grades 1 to 5, and Higher tier covers grades 4 to 9. With the main exam boards, AQA, Edexcel and OCR, your child sits three papers at the end of Year 11: one without a calculator and two with one.

A grade 4 is a standard pass and a grade 5 a strong pass. Students who don’t reach grade 4 normally have to keep studying maths after 16, which is one reason it pays to secure it early.

When to start

Year 10 is the ideal time: there is room to fix gaps properly before the pressure of Year 11. Tuition in Year 11 still helps a great deal, with more focus on the topics and question types that move a grade. For the habits that make revision stick, read our founder’s guide to GCSE success: a purpose, a plan and the right habits.

Should my child sit Foundation or Higher?
It depends on their current level and target grade. Foundation tops out at grade 5; Higher starts at grade 4. We’ll give you an honest view after working with your child and seeing recent assessments, and you can discuss it with their school.
Which exam boards do you teach?
We match lessons to your child’s exam board and specification, so practice uses the same style of questions they’ll see in the exam.
Can tuition move my child up a grade?
Often, yes, though no one can promise a result. Most lost marks come from a handful of gaps and from problem-solving questions; fixing those is usually where the biggest gains are.
When should GCSE Maths tuition start?
Year 10 gives the most time to close gaps. Starting in Year 11 is still worthwhile, with lessons focused on the highest-impact topics and past papers.
Is it 1-to-1 or a group?
Either. One-to-one gives the most tailored pace; small groups of up to eight add discussion and peer contact. We’ll help you choose at the free trial.
