Not only will our tutors review fundamental subject areas and focus on topics that cause the most problems, but they’ll also give students exam technique tips and tricks. Course activities can include:

  • Past papers: students may work through previous GCSE Maths and iGCSE Maths papers, both independently and as part of the revision group.
