Year 12 & Year 13 · 16 weeks · Cohorts starting this week

Marked by an examiner. Not a tutor.

Most capable students don't lose marks because they don't understand the maths. They lose them because nobody has ever shown them how the paper is actually marked. I mark the A-Level Maths papers your child will sit. Every week, your child's work comes back marked against the real scheme — with the marks written on it.

Every application read personally. You'll have a reply within 24 hours — including if I don't think it's the right fit.

The real problem

Your child isn't bad at maths. They're losing marks they've already earned.

A-Level Maths has been linear since the 2017 reform — everything is decided by three papers in a fortnight. A student can understand every topic and still walk out with a B.

They know it, but can't show it

Method marks are awarded for what's written down, not what was understood. Students who work things out in their head lose marks they genuinely earned — and nobody at school has time to tell them that, line by line.

They've never seen a mark scheme used properly

Checking your own work against an answer tells you whether you're right. It doesn't tell you where the M1 sat, why the A1 was withheld, or which phrase the examiner is actually looking for.

The gap only shows up in the mocks

By the time a disappointing mock comes back in December there are barely five months left — and your child has spent a year practising the exact habits that cost them the marks.

Two marks a question is the difference between a C and an A. Let's find out where they're going.

The Examiner Method

Four things, done every single week, for sixteen weeks.

Not a tutor going over homework. A structured programme built backwards from how the paper is marked.

PILLAR 01

Diagnose in marks, not grades

Before week one your child sits a timed baseline paper, and I mark it against the real scheme. They get a mark-loss report — not "needs to work on integration," but the exact marks dropped and why. Everything after that is aimed at those marks.

PILLAR 02

Teach the topic through the paper

Two 90-minute classes a week, each covering one topic band the way it is examined — the question styles, the traps, the phrasing the scheme rewards. Pre-class videos come first, so live time goes on the hard part.

PILLAR 03

Mark it like the real thing

Sixteen pieces of marked work — one every week. Fourteen weekly papers plus two full papers under exam conditions. Every one returned with examiner annotations — M1, A1, B1 — and a note naming their biggest mark leak. This is the part that changes grades.

PILLAR 04

Mark live, in front of them

Each week's second class ends with live marking on screen. Watching an examiner take marks off — and explain exactly why — teaches more in ten minutes than a term of corrections in red biro.

Places are filled in order of application, and I read every one myself.

What's included

Sixteen weeks. Everything marked.

Year 12 and Year 13 run as separate cohorts. They face different problems and they don't share a room.

✓

Two 90-minute live classes every week

Taught live, never a recording — 48 hours of teaching across the programme. All sessions recorded so nothing is lost if one is missed.

✓

A marked paper every week, by an examiner

Sixteen in all. Full mark-scheme annotation plus a written mark-loss report each time.

✓

Two full papers under exam conditions

A 100-mark paper at week 8 and again at week 15, timed and sat at home, then walked through line by line on the Saturday.

✓

Work in by Sunday, back by Wednesday

A fixed return day you can plan around, not a vague promise about turnaround.

✓

Live marking clinic every week

Real student work marked on screen, in real time, in the second session of the week.

✓

Pre-class videos and question sets

Watched before each class so live time is spent on the difficult part, not the setup.

✓

The Examiner's Question Bank

Real exam questions indexed by the mark they test, not by topic — so practice is aimed at the marks your child actually drops.

✓

A written mark-loss report with every paper

Plus a progress note to you at the half-way point: their baseline mark against their current mark. No vague progress language — just the number.

Sixteen pieces of work, marked by the person who marks the real thing.

Results

Marks, not adjectives.

Grades are what parents remember. Marks are what can be checked. These are students taught by the same examiner who will mark your child's work.

Grade C · November mock ↓ Grade A · results day
"I went from a Grade C in my November mocks to a Grade A on results day. I'm now studying Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London. Thank you for the support, and for believing in me."
— Mia, Year 13
Grade A
"I hated Statistics. It dragged my grades down every single time. By the end it had become my strongest section of A-Level Maths — I actually enjoyed the questions. I got an A on results day and I'm now studying Maths at university."
— Aisha, Year 13
Grade A
"The support through my daughter's final months of A-Level Maths revision was invaluable. Challenging concepts were made simple, and the practical problem-solving strategies made all the difference. She achieved an A, and we could not be more thrilled."
— Mrs Griffiths, parent of a Year 13 student
Grade A · 2024
"The hardest A-Level topics were broken down into steps I could actually follow. What changed things for me was the exam technique — I stopped panicking when a question looked unfamiliar, because I knew how to start it. I achieved an A and secured my dream degree apprenticeship place."
— Emma, A-Level Maths

Mia started where a lot of students are sitting right now — a C in the November mock.

Fit

This works for some students. Not all of them.

The application exists so I can say no. The cohort only works if every place is the right student.

A good fit

  • Year 12 or Year 13, sitting A-Level Maths in summer 2027
  • Capable — usually a grade 7–9 at GCSE — but sitting at B or C and stuck there
  • Needs a specific grade for a university or apprenticeship offer and is short of it
  • Willing to do the pre-class work and submit work every week
  • A parent who wants to see the marks, not just be told it's going fine

Not a good fit

  • Looking for occasional help with homework before a test
  • Won't submit weekly work — the marking is the programme, and it only works if there's something to mark
  • Needs one-to-one attention for a specific learning need a group can't serve
  • Wants a guaranteed grade. Nobody can honestly promise one, and anyone who does is selling you something else
  • Sitting exams with a board other than Edexcel, AQA or OCR

Two minutes to apply. A reply within 24 hours — including if the answer is no.

Investment

Less per hour than a tutor. With the marking a tutor can't do.

The price is on this page because you deserve to know it before you speak to me — and because the comparison flatters us.

Tutor rates from published 2026 UK survey data. None of the options above include work marked by a practising examiner every week — a one-to-one tutor doesn't have the mark scheme in their hands, and a recorded course has nobody to mark it.

Payment plans available. If cost is the only thing standing between your child and a place, say so on the form and we'll talk about it.

Who teaches it

Every paper is marked by the person who marks the real thing.

A lot of programmes say they have an examiner on the team. I am the examiner, and I do the marking myself. When I sit down with your child's script, I read it the same way I read the hundreds I mark each summer — looking for the same things, applying the same scheme, withholding the same marks.

That is the entire reason this works. A student who has had their own work marked by an examiner sixteen times stops guessing what the examiner wants. They know.

Questions

What parents ask before they apply.

How is this different from a one-to-one tutor?

A tutor gives your child attention. This gives them marks. The weekly examiner-marked work is something almost no private tutor can offer, because marking to a live scheme is a job you have to actually do to be any good at it. You also get 48 hours of structured teaching for less than the cost of 30 hours of London one-to-one.

Do you guarantee a grade?

No — and I'd be careful of anyone who does. I can't sit the exam for your child and I don't control how hard the paper is. What I will do is show you their mark every single week, measured against where they started. You'll know within a month whether it's working, rather than taking my word for it in May.

My child is already at a good school. Do we need this?

Often the students who benefit most are the ones at strong schools sitting at a solid B. The school is teaching the content well. What it can't do, with a full class and a syllabus to finish, is mark a paper per student per week to examiner standard and tell each of them individually where their marks are going.

Should we wait until after the mocks?

Most people do, and it's the most common mistake I see. Mocks are in November, results come back in December, and by the time a decision is made it's January — with the first paper on 26 May. If the mark is already a concern now, the cheapest time to fix it is now. If the mock then comes back fine, you've lost nothing: they'll have spent a term getting better.

What if my child misses a class?

Every class and clinic is recorded and available for the rest of the programme. The one thing that can't be missed is the weekly submission — if the work stops, the marking stops, and the marking is the programme.

Which exam boards do you cover?

Edexcel, AQA and OCR. The Pure content is effectively common across all three; the applied papers differ, so resources and marked work are board-specific.

How much do I need to be involved as a parent?

Very little day to day. Every marked paper comes to your inbox with the mark on it, and at the half-way point you get a written note setting their baseline against where they are now. You can email me at any point. I'd rather you checked the numbers than chased your child about homework.

Do you teach Further Maths?

A Further Maths cohort runs from January and places are very limited. Mention it on the form and I'll let you know when it opens.

When do classes run?

Year 12 and Year 13 cohorts are starting this week. Exact days and times are confirmed with families at enrolment, so that the timetable works around school commitments rather than against them.

What happens after I send the form?

I read every application myself, usually within 24 hours. If your child looks like a fit, I'll send you a time for a 20-minute call to go through where their marks are and whether this will genuinely help. If they're not a fit, I'll tell you that and say what I'd do instead. Nobody gets a sales pitch.
