Foundation and Higher tier, all major boards
GCSE Maths is the qualification that opens or closes the most doors. A grade 4 is the threshold for most sixth-form and college courses; a 7 or above is what A-Level Maths and most Science A-Levels expect.
The good news is that GCSE Maths is one of the most improvable subjects there is, because the marks are so predictable. The topics that separate a grade 4 from a 6, and a 6 from an 8, are well-defined. Target those specifically and progress comes fast.
What doesn’t work is grinding through past papers without diagnosis. That tells you what a student can’t do; it doesn’t tell you why, and it doesn’t fix it.
Specifications
Exam boards covered

Those above are my main specialisms, but I work regularly with Cambridge International as well. Whichever board your school enters you for, sessions are targeted at that specification. Foundation and Higher tier. Tier choice matters enormously. Foundation caps at grade 5, while Higher risks a student sitting a paper that’s largely inaccessible to them. If you’re unsure, raise it early.
