How the exam works
- Three 2-hour papers, 100 marks each, one third of the qualification per paper.
- Fully linear: all three papers are sat at the end of Year 13. Nothing is banked early.
- All Pure content is assumed knowledge for Paper 3 and may be tested there.
- Paper 3 requires familiarity with Edexcel's prescribed large data set.
Assessment objectives by paper
Papers 1 and 2
- AO1 16.00–17.33%
- AO2 9.33–10.67%
- AO3 6.00–7.33%
Paper 3
- AO1 16.00–17.33%
- AO2 5.67–7.00%
- AO3 9.67–11.00%
Paper 3 carries a higher share of AO3 (using mathematics to solve problems and model real situations) and a lower share of AO2 than Papers 1 and 2. It rewards problem-solving and modelling more than the two Pure papers do.
Where marks are lost
Sign errors compound. A single dropped minus sign in differentiation or in resolving forces carries through every later line, and a marker can only credit the method once the error appears.
“Show that” questions need every step. Skipping algebra to the answer loses marks even when the final answer is correct, because the mark scheme is built on the working, not the result.
Mechanics answers without units, or without stating an assumption such as a string being light and inextensible, lose marks that have nothing to do with the maths itself.
In statistics, a test conclusion given without reference back to the context of the question loses marks. The mark scheme specifically rewards context, not just the statistical statement.
How lessons work
- A shared digital whiteboard, worked through together in real time.
- Screen share, for past papers, specifications and your own working.
- Written notes sent after every session.
- Evening and weekend availability, with no travel time.
In-person lessons are also available in Birmingham and London, with a 90 minute minimum session.
See the teaching, not a claim about it
A fully worked question
A particle is projected vertically upwards from ground level with speed 24 m s⁻¹. Using g = 9.8 m s⁻², find the time taken to reach maximum height, and the maximum height reached.
v = u − gt, with v = 0 at maximum height.
Time to reach maximum height.
v² = u² − 2gs, using v = 0 again.
Maximum height reached.

Taught to the mark scheme, focusing on the reasoning and modelling questions where most marks are lost.
Frequently asked questions
Which exam board do you teach?
This page is built around Edexcel (9MA0). AQA and OCR A-level Maths are also taught.
How is Edexcel A-level Maths assessed?
Three 2-hour papers, 100 marks each, all sat at the end of Year 13. There's no coursework and nothing is banked early.
Do I need to learn the large data set?
Yes. Paper 3 assumes familiarity with Edexcel's prescribed large data set, and we work with it directly in sessions.
Can Pure topics come up on Paper 3?
Yes. All Pure content is assumed knowledge for Paper 3 and can be tested there alongside statistics and mechanics.
Does online tuition work as well as in person for A-level Maths?
For most students, yes. A-level Maths is worked out on paper, and a shared digital whiteboard covers that exactly the same way an in-person lesson would, with the added benefit of written notes afterwards. A few students concentrate better sat in a room with a tutor — if that's you, book in-person in Birmingham or London instead. Either way, the same tutor and the same materials.
