A-Level Maths can feel like a big step up from GCSE. The pace is quicker and the algebra more demanding. Topics also build on each other, so a gap early in Year 12 can cause problems for the rest of the course. The transition can be challenging, but with the right support, it doesn’t have to be.
Results in Year 12 matter too. They are used to predict grades for university and apprenticeship applications, and they can shape future career options.
I provide one-to-one and small-group A-Level Maths tutoring shaped around each student’s needs. Lessons pinpoint knowledge gaps and explain difficult topics clearly, spending most of the time where it’s needed.
Some students need help keeping up, while others are aiming for an A or A*. I plan lessons around where each student is and where they want to get to.
I introduce exam technique from the very first lesson. A-Level questions often combine several topics or present a familiar idea in an unfamiliar way. Students need to know how to approach a problem, not just the maths behind it. I show them where marks are gained and how to avoid the common mistakes that cost them marks.
Past-paper practice builds steadily towards the most challenging problems, so very little comes as a surprise on the day.
A typical lesson begins with any homework problems and a recap of the previous topic. Most of the lesson is then spent on a new or difficult topic in depth, with worked examples that build in difficulty. We move on to A-Level exam questions on that topic, including the multi-step problems that combine ideas, and I set targeted practice for the week ahead.
A-Level Maths is split between Pure Mathematics, which makes up around two-thirds of the course, and Applied Mathematics, which covers Statistics and Mechanics. Lessons cover the whole course, including:
You shouldn’t have to wait for a school report or parents’ evening to find out how your son or daughter is getting on.
I call every parent at least once a month to talk through their child’s progress, including what’s going well and where they need more attention. Between calls, I keep in touch by WhatsApp with messages and voice notes, and you can reach me by phone or WhatsApp whenever you’d like to talk.
I set targeted homework where it will help. It gives students extra Maths practice between lessons and lets me track their progress from week to week.
Every lesson is interactive. I follow your child’s working as they tackle each problem, so I can check their understanding in real time and make sure no gaps go unnoticed.
Every minute of a one-to-one lesson is focused on your child. I work at their pace and concentrate on the topics where they need the most help.
Small groups of up to 10 bring together students studying the same course at a similar level. They learn from each other’s questions while still getting plenty of individual attention.
Many A-Level students have free periods in their timetable. In addition to lessons after school, I offer daytime lessons so study time is used well, leaving evenings free for homework and revision.
If your son or daughter is planning to study Maths at university, I can help with their UCAS application. I’ll proofread their personal statement and give an honest view on how well it shows their understanding of, and enthusiasm for, the subject.
I studied Physics with Theoretical Physics at the University of Nottingham and graduated top of my year. I know what a strong application for a Maths or Physics degree looks like.
I work with Year 12 and Year 13 students from schools and sixth form colleges across East London and Essex, including South Woodford, Woodford, Wanstead, Loughton, Chigwell, Buckhurst Hill, Chelmsford, Ongar and Epping.
Many are preparing for university applications, where predicted grades are important, so getting the right support early in Year 12 matters.
I have a First Class Honours degree in Physics with Theoretical Physics from the University of Nottingham and graduated at the top of my cohort. Before that, I achieved A* grades in A-Level Maths and A-Level Physics.
I’ve been tutoring since 2020, specialising in Maths and Physics for students aged 11 to 18.
My approach is simple. I explain topics clearly and give students plenty of exam practice, with regular feedback so they keep making progress.
My degree went well beyond A-Level mathematics, so I know this course in depth and understand what it takes to reach the top grades. Many of my A-Level Maths students also study Physics, and I help them see how the two subjects support each other, particularly in Mechanics.
Based in South Woodford.
I’ll call you for a free, no-obligation chat to find out how your child is getting on and what they need help with. I’ll explain how I work and answer any questions you have, including about cost.
A paid trial lesson gives your child the chance to experience my teaching first-hand.
We’ll agree on a regular lesson time that suits you, and your child can start making progress straight away.
I cover all major exam boards for A-Level Maths and match lessons to each student’s specification and past papers.
Yes. Lessons cover the full A-Level Maths course. Many students find Mechanics and Statistics more challenging, so this is often the first area we focus on.
Starting early in Year 12 is ideal, as it stops small gaps turning into bigger ones. I also work with Year 13 students preparing for their final exams.
Yes. I offer daytime lessons for A-Level students, so they can make good use of their free periods.
No. A disappointing mock is often the push a student needs. We’ll go through the paper together and target the topics that cost the most marks, making the weeks before the final exams count.
Yes. I can proofread a UCAS personal statement for a Maths degree and give an honest view on how well it shows the student’s ability and enthusiasm for the subject.
The cost of A-Level Maths tutoring depends on whether your son or daughter has one-to-one or small-group lessons, as group lessons cost less per student. I’ll talk you through the fees during a free, no-obligation call, once I understand what they need.
One-to-one lessons suit students who need help with particular topics or are aiming for an A*. Small groups of up to 10 work well for A-Level exam practice and revision. We can decide together which suits them best during the free call.
A laptop or tablet with a stable internet connection, plus the calculator the student uses in exams. A mouse or stylus makes it easier to write out working, and I’ll check everything works before the first lesson.
Get in touch to talk about how I can help your son or daughter with A-Level Maths. I’ll call you back for a free chat to find out where they are now and what they need, and explain how lessons work.
