The 11+ exam requires a strong grasp of maths concepts, problem-solving skills, and time management. I focus on areas that are tested, such as arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and word problems. I provide practice with past papers and exam-style questions, helping students become familiar with the types of questions they’ll face and how to tackle them efficiently. I also work on improving their mental maths and reasoning skills, which are crucial for success in the exam. My lessons are designed to build both knowledge and confidence, so students feel well-prepared for the 11+.
I regularly assess each student’s progress through practice papers and quizzes. This helps identify any areas that need extra attention and ensures they’re steadily improving. By the time the exam approaches, students will have had plenty of practice and will feel comfortable with the format and time constraints. I also provide feedback to both the student and parents, so you’ll know exactly how your child is progressing.
I have experience in tutoring the ISEB, 11+ CEM, 11+ GL, Independent entrance exams and I have successfully supported a number of students to gain entrance into a variety of different selective schools including Queen Elizabeth’s Boys School and Henrietta Barnett School.
I am confident in preparing students for:
11+ CEM
11+ GL
ISEB
Independent entrance exams
YR 6 SAT
At this stage, I focus on building a strong foundation in essential maths concepts such as algebra, geometry, fractions, and problem-solving skills. My goal is to ensure students feel confident and prepared as they approach their GCSE years. I make lessons engaging by relating mathematical concepts to real-life situations, helping them understand the importance of what they’re learning. I also work on developing their independent thinking and study habits.
For GCSE students, I focus on comprehensive exam preparation while reinforcing core mathematical concepts. I work closely with students to understand the syllabus in depth, master key topics such as trigonometry, statistics, and quadratic equations, and apply these concepts effectively to problem-solving questions. I also provide guidance using past papers and targeted exam techniques to build confidence and improve performance in the actual exams. Whether a student is aiming for a strong pass or striving for top grades, I adapt lessons to suit individual goals and learning pace.
GCSE Statistics (Edexcel)
For GCSE Statistics (Edexcel), I help students develop a strong understanding of how data is collected, analysed, and interpreted in real-world contexts. My lessons focus on key topics such as probability, statistical diagrams, sampling methods, and critical data interpretation. I guide students through exam-style questions and past papers to build confidence in applying statistical reasoning and communicating conclusions clearly. My teaching supports both students looking to strengthen analytical skills alongside GCSE Maths and those aiming for high grades through structured, personalised exam preparation.
GCSE Additional Mathematics provides an excellent bridge between GCSE and A-Level study, introducing more advanced mathematical ideas. I support students in mastering topics such as algebraic methods, calculus, advanced trigonometry, and mathematical reasoning. My lessons emphasise deep conceptual understanding alongside efficient problem-solving techniques, helping students become comfortable tackling unfamiliar and multi-step questions. Through structured practice and exam-focused preparation, I help students develop the confidence and mathematical maturity needed for success and a smooth transition to A-Level Mathematics.
For the AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Mathematics, I work with students ready to extend their mathematical ability beyond the standard GCSE curriculum. My teaching covers advanced topics including higher-level algebra, functions, matrices, calculus, and complex problem-solving strategies. Lessons focus on strengthening logical reasoning, accuracy, and exam technique through carefully selected practice questions and past papers. Whether students are preparing alongside GCSE Maths or aiming to achieve top grades before progressing to A-Level Mathematics, I tailor my approach to challenge and support each learner appropriately.
A-Level Mathematics is more advanced and requires a deep understanding of complex topics such as calculus, mechanics, and pure mathematics. I guide students through these challenging areas by breaking down difficult concepts into manageable steps and providing extensive structured practice. At this level, developing critical thinking is essential, so I encourage students to explore different problem-solving strategies and understand the reasoning behind mathematical methods rather than simply applying formulas. Many students require additional support when transitioning from GCSE to A-Level, and I ensure this transition is smooth, structured, and confidence-building.
For A Level Pure Mathematics, I support students in developing a deep and rigorous understanding of the core mathematical principles that form the foundation of A-Level study. My lessons focus on key topics such as algebraic techniques, functions, calculus, sequences and series, and trigonometry. I work closely with students to strengthen problem-solving skills, mathematical reasoning, and exam technique through structured practice and past paper questions. Whether students are aiming to secure strong grades or achieve competitive university offers, I carefully adapt lessons to match individual learning styles, goals, and pace of progress.
In A Level Statistics, I help students build confidence in interpreting data and applying mathematical models to real-world scenarios. My teaching covers essential topics including probability distributions, hypothesis testing, statistical sampling, and data analysis. I emphasise clear conceptual understanding alongside accurate calculator use and strong exam technique, ensuring students can present logical, well-structured solutions. Through guided practice and targeted revision strategies, I help students develop the analytical skills needed to perform confidently in examinations and future academic study.
For A Level Mechanics, I work with students to understand how mathematical principles describe motion and physical systems. Lessons focus on topics such as forces, kinematics, Newton’s laws of motion, projectiles, and moments. I help students translate real-world situations into mathematical models, strengthening both conceptual understanding and problem-solving accuracy. Using exam-style questions and structured practice, I build students’ confidence in applying mechanics techniques efficiently, supporting strong exam performance and preparation for further study in mathematics, physics, or engineering-related fields.
