Lessons take place each week on Thursday and Friday following the Conwy school holiday dates, meaning there are no lessons during school holidays. This provides a balanced rhythm of learning and rest. 

Engage and build confidence

We want students to feel inspired by Maths, enjoy the challenge, and grow in confidence through success.

Interconnection and Depth

We want students to be able to see the connections between topics and also have the opportunity to study ideas in depth.

A Firm Foundation

We will provide firm foundations and develop the core knowledge and skills needed for confident progression to iGCSE.

Our Maths pathways are designed to meet students where they are, providing the right level of challenge and support at every stage of their Key Stage 3 and GCSE journey. Chose from Core, Extend or GCSE.

CORE AND EXTEND Registration by 10/11/25

Core Maths

(Typically ages 11-12 / Year 7)

Ideal for students stepping into secondary Maths or bridging from KS2 upper Primary Maths.

Extend Maths

(Typically ages 12-13 / Year 8 or more confident students )

Ideal for learners ready for new topics and deeper challenge, who have completed the Core Maths KS3 course or with secure knowledge of the topics covered. 

Every journey is different, and our students can request to move between Core, Extend, or even switch and start their GCSE Journey. This flexible approach ensures that every student works at the right level, builds confidence, and continues to make strong progress.

Courses can also be joined partway through the year. 

For students who start partway through the year or switch courses, support is in place through initial assessments to identify any gaps in knowledge, with targeted guidance and independent learning resources to help them catch up on missed topics. 

If you’re unsure which course is the best starting point, please get in touch — we will happily arrange a time to discuss the options and help you decide.

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 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.

We understand that sometimes students may be unable to attend a live lesson. All sessions are recorded and made available afterwards, so no one misses out on learning. Students can watch the recording at a convenient time and will receive the same independent tasks and resources as those who attended live. This ensures every student can stay on track and continue making progress, even if they can’t be there in person.

There will be end of topic 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.
