GCSE Maths (Years 10–11) is assessed at Foundation or Higher tier and graded 9–1.
You’ll sit three papers: one non-calculator and two calculator papers, each worth one-third of the total grade.
GCSE Maths tests understanding of core methods, reasoning (explaining why an approach works), and applied problem-solving in real-world contexts.
Fractions, ratios, percentages, standard form, error intervals
expressions, Equations, inequalities, sequences, quadratics, grahs
Angles, constructions, Pythagoras, trigonometrpy, area/volume
Data handling, averages, probability rules, and diagrams
We tailor every lesson to your exam board – AQA, Edexcel, or OCR, so your practice matches the real papers. We also show you how examiners give marks, including how to set out your working to earn method and how to earn accuracy marks.
LessonWise tutoring focuses on a clear understanding with simple explanations and step-by-step examples that stick. We build strong exam technique by teaching timing strategies, how to read command words, and how to set out working to secure method marks. This leads to stronger grades through systematic gap-filling and targeted practice.
Students gain calm confidence thanks to consistent routines and constructive feedback that reduce exam stress. Along the way, they develop independent study habits with smart revision methods and spaced practice for long-term retention.
