GCSE Maths Tuition
to help them move forward.
For students who know where they want to go, but aren’t yet sure how to get there.
I meet students where they are and help them develop the understanding, confidence and direction they need to work towards the grade they want.
Live online GCSE Maths tuition for Year 10 and Year 11 students following
AQA or Edexcel GCSE Maths, taught by a qualified teacher and GCSE Maths examiner.
They have a goal.
But right now, Maths feels like it could get in the way.
For some students, the goal is a secure grade 4 so they can move on to their chosen sixth form or college course. For others, it’s achieving a higher grade or preparing to continue with Maths at A level.
They know what they want to achieve. They’re just not sure what needs to change to help them get there.
Maths may feel difficult and confidence is falling.
Your child might...
worry that they’re going to fail
avoid questions that look difficult
have gaps in earlier knowledge that keep resurfacing
rely on remembering steps without really understanding them
have started to believe they’re simply “not good at Maths”
They may be working hard without seeing the progress they expected.
Your child might...
understand the Maths while it’s being taught
struggle to apply it independently in exam questions
spend a long time revising without knowing what to prioritise
lose marks when questions combine several skills
feel disappointed that their mock results don’t reflect their effort or potential
These students may have different starting points and different goals, but they need the same thing: support that meets them where they are and gives them a clearer route forward.
Maths doesn’t have to stand between them and their next step.
I meet students where they are, identify what is holding them back and help them understand what they need to do to move forward.
As the Maths begins to make more sense, their effort becomes more focused. They start to experience success, see evidence that they are progressing and feel more confident about what they can achieve.
They don’t need a generic plan or more of the same support. They need the right teaching for where they are now and a clearer route towards where they want to be.
Find the right GCSE Maths Group
Different students need different support depending on where they are now and where they’re aiming to get to.
My GCSE Maths groups are organised by year group, tier and target grade. This means students learn alongside others working towards similar outcomes, and the teaching, pace and questions can be matched more closely to what they need.

Understanding is where progress starts.
Students don’t become confident in Maths simply because someone tells them they can do it.
Confidence grows when the Maths starts to make sense, they can answer questions they previously couldn’t and they begin to see evidence that they are improving.
Build Secure Understanding
Students learn why the Maths works, rather than relying on a list of steps or methods to memorise.
Recognise & Connect the Maths
Students learn to identify which Maths a question requires and connect different topics when several skills are needed.
Apply it Independently
Regular GCSE-style practice helps students use what they know, even when a question looks unfamiliar or the method isn’t immediately obvious.
The result?
Students become less reliant on remembering what a question is
“supposed to look like” and better able to recognise,
connect and apply the Maths they know.
As understanding improves, successful attempts become more frequent.
Students begin to see progress
and that is where genuine confidence develops.
An online group where every student takes part.
The support of a targeted group, without the pressure of a traditional classroom.
Students don’t need to turn their camera on, speak in front of the group or worry about other students seeing their answers.
Throughout every lesson, each student responds to me through the private chat. This allows me to continually assess their understanding, give individual feedback and adapt my teaching as we work.
Even my quietest students have a voice.
Private Chat Participation
Students answer me privately, with cameras and microphones off. They can attempt questions, ask for help and make mistakes without worrying about anyone else seeing their responses.
Individual Feedback
I see every student’s answers throughout the lesson. This means I can spot misconceptions, identify when something needs revisiting and decide whether we’re ready to move forward.
Recordings & Resource Library
Every lesson is recorded, with supporting resources and worked examples available for students to revisit between sessions.
Ongoing Support Between Sessions
Parents and students can contact me between sessions if they need help finding a resource or are unsure about something we have covered.
What parents notice
Every student’s goal is different, but the changes parents notice are often remarkably similar.
As the Maths begins to make more sense, students become more willing to engage, more confident when attempting questions and better able to show what they know.
Sometimes that progress leads to a secure pass. Sometimes it helps a student reach the next grade on the Higher paper. In every case, it moves them closer to the goal that matters to them.
“My daughter got two grades higher than expected. She had always struggled with maths and we thought she might need to resit.
Thanks to Michelle, she gained confidence and understanding which helped her achieve a pass.
She loved that only Michelle could see her work during the online sessions, which gave her the confidence to fully engage.”
“She achieved the pass she needed”
Year 11 Parent, 2025
“Michelle’s ability to break down complex concepts into manageable parts made all the difference.
She explained mathematical ideas clearly and helped build confidence in problem-solving.
Our daughter approached her GCSE maths exam with confidence and a solid understanding of the material.”
“She approached her exam with confidence.”
Year 11 Parent 2025
“Michelle’s outstanding knowledge and calm manner was just what our daughter needed to push for the next grade on the higher paper.
I would highly recommend her for GCSE Maths.”
“The support she needed to reach the next grade.”
Year 11 Parent 2024
Could this be the support that your child needs?
