Not only will our tutors review fundamental subject areas and focus on topics that cause the most problems, but they’ll also give students exam technique tips and tricks. Course activities can include:

• Past papers: students may work through previous GCSE Maths and iGCSE Maths papers, both independently and as part of the revision group.
• Descriptive sessions: students study Maths resources and then discuss and describe topics in full.
• Teacher’s notes: if students require grounding in fundamental areas of GCSE and iGCSE Maths, the tutor may present a subject in full.
• Full teaching: this mix of stimulating group discussion and teaching is an excellent way to consolidate and expand knowledge.
