How we teach Mathematics

Each topic starts from the idea, then worked examples written step by step, then questions in the style of WJEC Eduqas 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

“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.”
