What we cover

Curriculum and exam support
GCSE preparation follows your child's exam board — AQA, Pearson Edexcel or OCR — and their tier. Families who have moved from India can also continue CBSE or ICSE maths alongside the UK syllabus.
Lesson times
Lessons are booked in UK time (GMT/BST), usually after school or at weekends. Exact slots depend on availability and are confirmed when you book the trial.
How it works

3. Regular lessons
One-to-one or small-group lessons at a time agreed in your local time zone.
Questions from parents in the UK
Can you help with both GCSE Foundation and Higher tier maths?
Yes. The free trial includes a short diagnostic so we can see which tier suits your child and which topics need the most work.
Do you teach A-Level Further Maths?
Lessons cover A-Level Maths (pure, statistics and mechanics). Please mention Further Maths when you book so we can discuss whether it's a fit.
Is one-to-one or small-group tuition better for my child?
One-to-one gives the most individual attention and suits exam preparation or catching up. Small groups suit students who are on track and enjoy learning alongside peers, and cost less per lesson.
