Need a Key Stage 3 Maths tutor in Islington or online?
KS3 Maths sets the foundation everything at GCSE builds on — students who arrive at Year 10 with solid number sense, algebra and reasoning skills progress faster than those patching gaps under exam pressure. Muhammad works from what your child is actually studying at school, closing gaps early rather than letting them compound.
Lessons start with a short diagnostic conversation to find out where your child is now: which topics feel solid, which are guesswork, and which areas need the most attention before GCSE begins. From there, sessions run one to one, two to one, or alongside other KS3 Maths students in the Thursday evening group.
What’s covered
- Number and place value
- Algebra and equations
- Ratio, proportion and rates of change
- Geometry and measures
- Statistics and probability
- Fractions, decimals and percentages
- Problem-solving and reasoning
- Building study habits ahead of GCSE
Content follows the national curriculum, so lessons map directly onto what your child is taught at school regardless of which KS3 scheme their school follows. Pace is adjusted to the individual — moving ahead where a child is confident, slowing down and consolidating where they’re not.
Students typically start anywhere from shaky on the basics to broadly confident but inconsistent, and work towards the fluency that makes GCSE Maths feel like a continuation rather than a jump. By the end, most students approach new topics with far more confidence than when they began.
