Every board teaches the same six areas. Lessons start where your child is losing marks and work outwards.
Fractions, powers and roots, surds, standard form, bounds.
Equations, quadratics, sequences, graphs, functions.
Percentages, compound interest, direct and inverse proportion.
Angles, circle theorems, trigonometry, vectors.
Tree diagrams, Venn diagrams, conditional probability.
Averages, box plots, cumulative frequency, histograms.
How it’s examined. AQA, Edexcel and OCR set three papers of 1 hour 30 minutes, and Eduqas sets two of 2 hours 15 minutes. Each board has one non-calculator paper. Foundation tier covers grades 1 to 5, Higher grades 4 to 9.
£50 for a 60-minute one-to-one lesson with a qualified teacher, billed weekly. No sign-up fee, no packs and no contract. Student tutors on tutoring websites start from about £20 an hour. Agencies that only use qualified teachers charge about £70 to £100, and some add a one-off fee of £70 to £95.
Read our GCSE cost guideYes, both tiers. Foundation covers grades 1 to 5 and Higher covers grades 4 to 9. If the school hasn’t decided yet, the first lessons show which tier gives your child the better grade.
AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas and Cambridge IGCSE. Lessons use your child’s own board’s past papers and mark schemes.
Start with one a week. You can add a second weekly time whenever you like, for example in the run-up to mocks or the summer exams.
As early as you can in Year 10. Starting earlier leaves time to fix gaps before the exams instead of cramming. A Year 11 start still works; the plan is simply exam-focused from the first lesson.
