A-level Maths tutoring
Pure, Statistics and Mechanics, taught to your exam board's specification and your target grade. I sat A-level Maths recently (grade A), so I know how the three papers are set and where marks are won and lost.

The exams
How the exams work
A-level Maths is examined in three 2-hour papers, each worth 100 marks. How Pure, Statistics and Mechanics are split between the papers depends on the exam board, so we work from your board's specification and past papers.
Exam technique
Where marks are usually lost
- Algebraic slips in long, multi-step questions
- Not showing enough working in “show that” and proof questions
- Mechanics modelling: naming the assumptions the question is looking for
- Hypothesis test conclusions that aren't written in context
