Need a GCSE Maths tutor in Islington or online?
GCSE Maths rewards students who can spot which technique a question is testing and apply it without hesitation — a skill built through practice, not memorising. Muhammad works from your child’s own specification, exam board and tier, not a generic syllabus, so every lesson maps directly onto what they’ll actually be assessed on.
Lessons start with a short diagnostic conversation to find out where your child is now: which topics feel solid, which ones are guesswork, and whether Foundation or Higher tier is the right target. From there, sessions run one to one, two to one, or — where a group is running — alongside other GCSE Maths students on Monday evenings.
What’s covered

Content applies across all exam boards — AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and CIE all draw on the same underlying maths, so the difference between boards is mostly in question style and paper structure, not in what’s taught. Tier is reviewed regularly rather than fixed at the outset, since a student’s ceiling can shift a great deal between Year 10 and the final exams.
Students typically start anywhere from confident-but-inconsistent to unsure where to begin, and work towards the exam-technique fluency that turns understanding into marks: reading the question correctly, showing working that picks up method marks, and choosing the right approach without hesitating under time pressure. By the end, most students reach a place where a maths problem no longer feels unfamiliar — just another one they know how to start.
