How we teach 8300
Each topic starts from the idea, then worked examples written step by step, then questions in the style of AQA GCSE Mathematics.
We teach the exact methods the mark scheme rewards and show where method marks are earned even when the final answer slips.
Timed practice on both calculator and non-calculator style papers, so speed and accuracy improve together.
Where students usually lose marks
- Algebraic manipulation and rearranging
- Problem-solving questions with several steps
- Graphs and functions
- Geometry proofs and reasoning

Questions parents ask
Do you teach the current AQA GCSE Mathematics syllabus?
Yes. Lessons follow the board’s current syllabus (Exams from June 2017). We check the specification before planning a course, and we tell you if anything changes.
Which route or tier should my child take?
The options are: Foundation tier (grades 1 to 5) and Higher tier (grades 4 to 9); all papers at the same tier. After the free demo we look at your child’s work and the target grade, and suggest the right one with the school.
Can you help close to the exam?
Yes. Exam-season courses focus on timed practice, the topics that lose the most marks, and marking every paper like the real exam.
