Key Stage 5 courses launching September 2026!!

Academic Challenge and Confidence

We aim to inspire a genuine enjoyment of mathematical thinking through challenge and achievement. Students are encouraged to engage deeply with complex ideas, developing confidence through persistence, problem-solving, and intellectual curiosity.

Connections and Mathematical Depth

Students will explore the rich interconnections between algebra, geometry, calculus, and statistics, developing a coherent understanding of mathematics as a unified subject. Depth of study and rigorous reasoning are central to our approach, preparing students for the analytical demands of higher education.

Mastery and Strong Foundations

Our teaching ensures that all students secure the essential core knowledge and techniques needed for success at A Level and beyond. Emphasis is placed on precision, fluency, and the ability to apply concepts flexibly to unfamiliar problems.

Examination Excellence and University Preparation

Students are thoroughly prepared for assessment through consistent exposure to challenging questions, structured revision, and high-level problem-solving. Our approach develops the skills and mindset required for outstanding A Level performance and smooth progression to mathematically demanding university courses.

This course prepares students for the Pure Mathematics element of the Pearson EDEXCEL A Level Mathematics (Specification A) examination. It focuses on developing strong analytical skills, algebraic fluency, and a deep understanding of core mathematical principles that underpin both A Level and University level study.

Year 12/AS Course

Optional AS Examination May/June 2027

The usual route would then be to complete the Year 2 course and sit the A2 Examination: June 2028

A comprehensive route covering the full A Level Pure Mathematics course in depth*. Students should have achieved at least a Grade 6 at GCSE/iGCSE (or equivalent) before starting. The programme develops conceptual understanding, precision, and resilience in tackling complex problems, ensuring students are fully prepared for A Level examinations and further mathematical study.

Year 13/A2 Course

A2 Examination May/June 2027

A comprehensive route covering the full A2 Level Mathematics course in depth*. Students should ensure that they have covered and are confident with all Year 1 material. The Year 2 course further develops conceptual understanding, precision, and resilience in tackling complex problems across both Pure and Applied Mathematics, ensuring students are fully prepared for the rigours of the summer A2 examinations.

Launching September 2026

A Level (Pure Maths) 

The Pearson Edexcel A Level Mathematics (Specification A) is followed, focusing exclusively on the Pure Mathematics content. The course develops advanced skills in algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and vectors, alongside mathematical reasoning and proof.

The A Level Pure Maths course provides thorough preparation for the final examination, emphasising depth of understanding, logical thinking, and confident problem-solving — essential foundations for success in further mathematical study and university entry.

2. Conditional Probability
3. The Normal Distribution
4. Moments
5. Friction and Application of Forces
6. Projectiles
7. Further Kinematics

*Please note: Because there is a substantial amount of content to cover across both Pure and Applied Mathematics, consistent independent study will be required outside of our sessions. To ensure we stay on track, there may be some aspects of the course where students will be expected to self-study. For this reason, owning the course textbook is essential to guide their independent practice, reinforce the concepts taught in class, and ensure full exam readiness.

These courses will be webinar style. This means I am the only one talking, there will be no cameras or microphones on except mine. The students will be able to chat to me via the chat box system, but not with each other.

Many home-education and tuition programmes offer just one Maths lesson each week — but we believe that two 60 minute lessons a week provides the ideal balance for effective learning.

Our sessions take place on consecutive days (Thursday and Friday), giving students the opportunity to build and deepen their understanding across the two lessons while topics are still fresh. The following five-day gap before the next pair of sessions allows valuable time for practice and consolidation, helping new ideas to become secure and long-term knowledge.

This rhythm supports consistent progress, builds confidence, and keeps learning structured yet manageable within a home-education schedule.

Lesson notes to complete during each session will be provided, along with a topic booklet containing key points and additional practice questions. Optional weekly homework tasks will be set through the Dr Frost Learning platform.

There will be half termly assessments, which will take place during lessons. Andy will mark these and provide written feedback. These assessments are an important part of the learning process, helping students check their understanding, identify areas for improvement, and strengthen long-term retention of key concepts.

We believe that education should be accessible to everyone, which is why we offer our Mathmaticks courses at affordable prices. A full refund will be issued after the first 2 sessions if you do not wish to continue. All you need to do is email Andy before the third session at the start of week 2 and you will receive a full refund.
