Our Tutors

There are three A Level maths teachers (Olimi, David and Farzaana) who have a wealth of experience behind them. They have taught in both schools and colleges, worked as Edexcel examiners and engage in ongoing external training to ensure that they deliver the highest quality of lessons, resources and experience for learners.

Our students

Mathematics is the most popular A Level subject: in 2019, it was taken by over 86,000 students in the UK, around 20,000 more than the next most popular subject, biology. In order to make the most of the course, you need to be prepared to work hard and get involved in classroom discussions. Work with other students so that you properly understand the material. Above all, do the weekly assignments and revise for the assessments.

Your Future

Universities and employers consider students who have studied maths at A Level to be good analysts, problem solvers and logical thinkers because the course helps to develop all of these transferable skills. Students learn how to use lots of different analytical methods in problem solving. Maths is a ‘facilitating’ subject – it opens doors and allows for a wide choice of subjects to study at degree level.

Future Careers

Progression routes

Studying maths helps you develop skills in problem solving, logical thinking and decision-making, which are valued by employers across many career sectors such as accountancy, data analytics, statistics, software engineering and investment analysing, to name a few.
