A Level Maths Tutor Online

The step from IGCSE to A Level Mathematics is the steepest most students meet before university, and it happens quickly. Pure content arrives at a pace that assumes fluency students often do not yet have, and the questions stop being one-step. QFS teaches the content and the question style together, with past papers from the first session.
We have coached students to the highest grades in this subject, including a world-topper result in A Level Pure Mathematics.

A Level Maths Tutor Online for Pure Maths, Mechanics and Statistics

The course structure

Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics 0580 is tiered. Core candidates sit Papers 1 and 3 and can achieve grades C to G; Extended candidates sit Papers 2 and 4 and can achieve A* to E.
For Mathematics specifically, the consequences run further than the grade:

Cambridge International

Mathematics 9709

AS Level candidates take Pure Mathematics 1 with either Probability & Statistics 1 or Mechanics. The full A Level combines Pure Mathematics 1 and 3 with approved applied-paper combinations. Further Mathematics 9231 extends pure and applied content through Further Pure, Further Mechanics and Further Probability & Statistics.

Pearson Edexcel International

International A Level

The unitised qualification uses Pure Mathematics P1–P4 with approved combinations of Further Pure, Mechanics, Statistics and Decision Mathematics units. Units are available across the January, May–June and October series, subject to Pearson’s current timetable.

Where A Level Maths students actually lose marks

01 - Algebraic fluency assumed, not built

A Level questions are several steps long, and a student who is slow or unreliable at manipulation runs out of time and accuracy simultaneously.

02 - Method marks unavailable

When the working is not shown, method marks cannot be awarded — exactly as at IGCSE, but with more marks at stake per question.

03 - Applied modules treated as afterthoughts

Mechanics and Statistics carry full weight and are frequently under-taught relative to Pure.

04 - Unstructured problems

The hardest questions do not announce which technique they need. Recognising the structure is trainable — and the difference between an A and an A*.

Further Mathematics — who should take it

Further Mathematics is worth taking if: – The target is Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, Computer Science or a quantitative Economics course at a competitive university – Some target courses require or strongly prefer it — check published entry requirements early – The student is comfortably on track for an A in Mathematics; taking Further at the cost of the main grade is a poor trade
It is also the best possible preparation for TMUA and ESAT, because both reward exactly the fluency and structural insight Further Mathematics builds.

A Level Maths and admissions tests

For mathematics, economics and engineering applicants to competitive UK universities, the A Level grade alone is often not the deciding factor. Both tests are sat in the autumn of the application year, alongside the UCAS deadline and school mocks. Preparation should start in the spring or early summer before. We schedule test preparation and A Level teaching as one plan.

TMUA

Used by several universities for mathematics, economics and computer science courses. It rewards mathematical reasoning and speed rather than syllabus recall, so it needs separate preparation.

ESAT

Used for engineering and natural sciences courses at Cambridge and Imperial, combining mathematics with relevant science modules.

Student testimonial

frequently asked questions

Significant, and mostly in fluency and question length rather than in new topic difficulty. Students who took Additional Mathematics 0606 started considerably ahead.
If they are heading for mathematics, engineering, physics or quantitative economics at a competitive university, yes — and check whether target courses require it. If Mathematics itself is a struggle, no.
Both. The mathematics is largely common; the component structure, unit codes and series differ.
Yes, as separate programmes scheduled alongside A Level teaching. See TMUA and ESAT.
Depends on the board. Edexcel’s unitised structure with a January series offers more resit flexibility than Cambridge. Bring your entry details to the consultation.
Two hours a week for most students, more when Further Mathematics is involved or an admissions test is being prepared alongside.
It depends on where the marks are being lost and how much time remains. Structural weakness in algebra takes months; technique and unstructured-problem practice can move faster. We will give you an honest read at the consultation.
Yes, through our undergraduate admissions counselling team, planned on the same timeline.
