GCSE Maths Tutoring from a Recent Grade 9 Student . Relatable, Helpful, Exam Focused Support

Advert description

I’m a passionate Maths A Level student who achieved a Grade 9 in GCSE Maths in 2025, and I know exactly what it takes to succeed in the exam...because I’ve just done it myself. I fully understand the current curriculum, exam requirements and style, as well as common mistakes. I love studying Maths and plan to go on to study Maths at university and qualify as a Maths teacher, so tutoring isn’t just a part time job for me, it’s the foundation of my future career. I genuinely want to help students understand maths, improve and reach their potential. If you’re looking for recent, very relevant GCSE expertise, clear explanations, and a tutor who truly understands the exam from a student’s perspective, I’d love to help. I know how stressful Maths can feel, and how confusing exam questions are often worded. My age means I’m highly relatable to students, and I’m able to explain concepts in a way that genuinely makes sense; without overcomplicating things. My lessons are exam-focused, structured, and actively engaging. We work through GCSE topic areas step by step, building understanding before applying skills to real past exam questions. I guide students through questions carefully, showing them how to break down what the exam is really asking, how marks are awarded, and how to maximise their score, even on the trickiest questions. Rather than just giving answers, I focus on: * Clear, step-by-step explanations * Developing confidence and problem-solving skills * Understanding mark schemes and exam technique * Turning “I don’t get it” into “I know how to start” Lessons are collaborative and supportive and we tackle questions together, discuss mistakes openly, and use them as opportunities to improve. This approach helps students feel more confident, prepared, and in control going into their exams.

Definitely got our daughter a pass in her maths GCSE! Pippa is very engaging and friendly but also professional. She knew what to focus on and was targeted and knowledgeable. She put my daughter at ease but also successfully managed to encourage her to work hard and concentrate. Would recommend her to anyone.

Pippa was so helpful whilst tutoring me and helped me go from a grade 5 to a 7 in the matter of a few months. I really recommend her for anyone that needs help understanding maths better

I found the experience highly helpful and informative at a low cost. She went through some some GCSE past paper questions with me thouroughly, and marked them. Phillippa provided a well constructed lesson additionally.Would highly recommend!
