Unlock your potential: expert online tutoring in Maths

For GCSE Maths, most students increase by 2-4 grades, with most students getting 7-9s.

For A-level Maths, most grade increases fall in the 1-3 grade range. E.g. from a C to an A would be a 2-grade increase. I have seen greater improvements than this several times.

Not trying to improve their accuracy and speed. Everyone uses the phrase “silly mistakes”. It refers to mistakes based not on a lack of knowledge, but when doing the question.

But here’s the thing – every mistake loses marks. And people keep making these mistakes and keep losing marks. Marks on a topic they have spent many hours perfecting. But they spend no time on their accuracy and speed, so important in every exam.

I have developed a few simple techniques that increase accuracy and speed you up. You can pick them up in minutes and they take no extra effort. This can make a significant difference in your GCSE Maths or A-Level Maths results.

For anyone hoping to do A-level Maths, Further Maths, Computer Science or Physics it is extremely important at GCSE to get a good grade, which means 7 or above.
I would also advise trying hard if you intend to do A-level Chemistry.

If you are planning on pursuing medicine at university, the exams such as UCAT involve doing GCSE level Maths problems – but very quickly.
Getting a 7 at least is strongly recommended here.

Most degrees involving maths, such as Physics, Computer Science, Statistics, Artificial Intelligence, Engineering or Economics – all require a very good grade in A-level Maths as part of your offer.
Often degrees in Chemistry, Biochemistry and Architecture will have an offer that requires a minimum grade in A-level Maths.

The top tier universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, St. Andrews, Imperial College London, University College London and Edinburgh may require a good grade in A-level Further Maths.
If not a requirement, it often gives you an advantage over other students in your application.

Even if maths isn’t core to your academic path, the problem-solving skills you learn when you study to get a high GCSE or A-level Maths grade, will help throughout your degree and in a lot of jobs and job interviews.

Ideally September or October. At the start of the new school year.
This way, you can get as high a grade as you want. Only your effort will limit you. Not your current ability. You should have 1 lesson a week. Maybe 2 a week if you want to FULLY cover 2 or 3 subjects.

If you have left it later than this:

• 3-4 months before an exam.
• The holidays, summer, half terms.
  I can advise you on how many lessons a week and hours of homework you will need to reach your goals.
• Finally, occasional lessons anytime during your course.
  For capable students before interviews, entrance exams, or competitions. Or when hitting a tricky topic.
  
  

The earlier you realise you need help the better.

As with most things in life, you get what you pay for. They vary from £25 to £250 an hour.

The cheaper end are typically university students. As you pay more you, you get more experience and credentials.

When you consider I am one of the most experienced and qualified tutors you can find, a full-time tutor who makes his living doing this, I believe my price of £75/hr offers great value.
