Maths A Level Christmas Revision Course – Online

Course Information

Course Description

Our Maths mock preparation courses will get students off to a flying start with their January mock preparation. Tutors will revise key content which is likely to come up in exams. Attention will then be focused on improving exam technique. By showing students how to think like an examiner, tutors will enable students to consistently hit all assessment objectives and score those top marks. Getting the ball rolling early with revision means students will have time to work on any weaknesses identified by the course during the Christmas holidays. Having this time to consolidate the skills and knowledge learnt means students will be ready to ace their exams when they return to school.

Learners are supported beyond the courses through the provision of high-quality, comprehensive and original materials, including notes, guides and question booklets. These resources have been specially created to supplement the learning experience and support students beyond the course.

The topics taught are universal to all exam boards, so the courses are suitable for all students. Practice questions will be taken from Edexcel past papers. You can get an idea of how Edexcel questions are worded by looking through some papers here.

Suitable for:

  • Year 13 students
  • Students looking to improve exam technique in preparation for their January mock exams
  • Year 12 students
  • Students who haven’t already been taught the topics in the course timetable
  • Students who are predicted D or below

If you need help deciding if you will benefit from this course you can contact us. Alternatively, you may prefer to book 1-2-1 tuition instead.

Paul W.

Paul W.

Paul attended Leeds University, where he gained a first class degree in Maths, followed by a master’s in Pure Mathematics. After taking his PGCE at Nottingham University (in which he also achieved a first), he taught at a secondary school for four years before becoming head of maths in a sixth-form college. Today his teaching experience spans a whopping 38 years.

Paul believes that teaching is what he was made for and despite taking formal retirement, education is still very much his passion. After retiring, he continued working, training new teachers, before becoming an online tutor during the Covid-19 pandemic. These days he tutors both individuals and small classes, using his vast wealth of knowledge and experience to help his students succeed. When he’s not teaching, Paul chairs a theological discussion group for adults and likes to try his hand at DIY (to varying degrees of success).
