How we teach Mathematics
Each topic starts from the idea, then worked examples written step by step, then questions in the style of WJEC GCSE Mathematics and Numeracy (Double Award).
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
“The paper reviews showed exactly where marks were being lost in O Level Maths and Chemistry, and what to do about it. We had a great experience with Apex Academic.”

Questions parents ask
Do you teach the current WJEC GCSE Mathematics and Numeracy (Double Award) syllabus?
Yes. Lessons follow the board’s current syllabus (First teaching September 2025, first award November 2026). 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 and Higher 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.
