Frequently Asked Questions

Can I email you with maths questions?
Yes, but you may just get a brief answer and then I'll pop in the odd
web link to the topic - if I have time I will answer in more detail.

How far do you travel?
Usually I aim to work within a ten mile radius of Melksham but will consider
travelling further, just enquire on 01225 707844

Of the two GCSE exam levels; Foundation and Higher
which should I apply to do?
Firstly talk to your school or college teacher.
If you need to get a 'C' grade for employment then note that this is the
highest grade at foundation level. If you need to go on to further mathematics
study and are required to achieve an 'A' grade then you need to do the higher level exams.

When is the right time to start practicing exam questions?
In my opinion you should start early and become familiar with the papers
As many GCSE specifications are modular ensure these papers are practiced
and try to obtain old exam papers from edexel, OCR. Private students start
working with exam papers around 8 weeks before the exam.
