A Level Further Maths
- ✓Free 90-minute first lesson
- ✓A written personal plan
- ✓Progress update every six weeks
- ✓Lessons usually 90 minutes
Further Maths is a second, harder maths A Level, taken alongside A Level Maths. It is where maths gets properly beautiful, and properly hard. One-to-one support for Core Pure (the compulsory part) and the optional units, from a tutor who used this maths every day in an astrophysics degree.
Students who want steady support across a demanding two-year course.
Maths, physics, engineering and computer science applicants who need strong grades.
Complex numbers, matrices or proof by induction feel like a different language.
Lessons follow your child's exact exam board, and your personal plan maps out when each topic is taught.
Every lesson has a clear purpose, and you'll get a written progress update every six weeks so you always know how things are going.
See Example Plans →Further Maths rewards understanding. We spend time on why things work, not just the steps.
A Level Maths and Further Maths are taught side by side so each one supports the other.
Harder, unfamiliar questions build the problem-solving that top grades demand.
For students taking university maths admissions tests (STEP for Cambridge, MAT for Oxford, TMUA for several other universities), we can include practice for these too.
This is a common story with Further Maths students. They've always been the strong one in class, then Year 12 brings imaginary numbers, matrices and proofs that look nothing like GCSE.
The first month is about rebuilding confidence: drawing complex numbers on an Argand diagram until they feel real, seeing matrices as transformations rather than grids of numbers, and writing proofs one careful line at a time.
Once the ideas make sense, the methods follow, and the course becomes enjoyable again. That's usually when students start asking the "but why does that work?" questions that lead to the top grades.
A typical example of how lessons go for students on this course.
He is very highly skilled and is a personable and conscientious tutor who takes the time to get to know his students.
The way he breaks down complex concepts into simple understandable way, not everyone can do that.
Ibrahim values his students as individuals taking the time to understand their strengths and identity their weaknesses.
Nothing upfront, one monthly invoice, no contracts.
Yes: Further Mechanics, Further Statistics and Decision Mathematics. Lessons follow whichever options your child's school has chosen.
Yes. These are extra maths admissions tests used by some universities, such as Cambridge (STEP) and Oxford (MAT). We can add practice for them alongside the A Level content.
Often it's best to cover both in the same lessons, so we'll plan time for each based on where help is needed most.
