Exam Boards We Cover
Our GCSE maths tutors are experienced with all major UK exam boards: AQA (the most widely used GCSE maths specification), Edexcel (Pearson), and OCR. Tutors are familiar with the specific question styles, mark schemes, and grade boundaries for each board. Whether your child is working towards Foundation tier (grades 1–5) or Higher tier (grades 4–9), our tutors tailor their approach to match the specification your school follows.
Common Topics Parents Ask About
Many families come to StudyGuru when their child is struggling with specific areas of GCSE maths. Common topics include algebra (equations, expressions, and inequalities), geometry and measures, ratio and proportion, probability, statistics, and trigonometry. Higher tier students often need support with surds, algebraic fractions, circle theorems, and vectors. Our tutors identify gaps in understanding and build from there, rather than simply covering the syllabus in order.
Foundation and Higher Tier Support
GCSE maths is split into two tiers: Foundation (targeting grades 1 to 5) and Higher (targeting grades 4 to 9). Our tutors are experienced with both. For Foundation students, the focus is typically on building confidence and securing a grade 4 or 5. For Higher students, tutors help tackle more demanding topics and develop the problem-solving skills needed for grades 7, 8, and 9. We can also support students transitioning from Foundation to Higher tier if appropriate.
Mock Exams and Revision
Mock exams are often a turning point for GCSE maths students. If your child’s mock results were not what you hoped for, targeted tutoring can make a meaningful difference. Our tutors work through past papers, identify where marks are being lost, teach exam techniques specific to your child’s exam board, and focus practice on the topics that will have the biggest impact on their grade.
