A-Level Maths

Our A level mathematics lessons builds on from GCSE level mathematics at our centre and introduces calculus and its applications. It emphasises how mathematical ideas are interconnected and how mathematics can be applied to model situations mathematically using algebra and other representations, to help make sense of data, to understand the physical world and to solve problems in a variety of contexts, including social sciences and business. It prepares students for further study and employment in a wide range of disciplines involving the use of mathematics.

Aims and objectives of A level specifications in mathematics encourages our students to:

  • Understand mathematics and mathematical processes in a way that promotes confidence, fosters enjoyment and provides a strong foundation for progress to further study.
  • Extend their range of mathematical skills and techniques.
  • Understand coherence and progression in mathematics and how different areas of mathematics are connected.
  • Apply mathematics in other fields of study and be aware of the relevance of mathematics to the world of work and to situations in society in general 3.
  • Use their mathematical knowledge to make logical and reasoned decisions in solving problems both within pure mathematics and in a variety of contexts, and communicate the mathematical rationale for these decisions clearly.
  • Reason logically and recognise incorrect reasoning.
  • Generalise mathematically.
  • Construct mathematical proofs.
  • Use their mathematical skills and techniques to solve challenging problems which require them to decide on the solution strategy.
  • Recognise when mathematics can be used to analyse and solve a problem in context.
  • Represent situations mathematically and understand the relationship between problems in context and mathematical models that may be applied to solve them.
  • Draw diagrams and sketch graphs to help explore mathematical situations and interpret solutions.
  • Make deductions and inferences and draw conclusions by using mathematical reasoning.
  • Interpret solutions and communicate their interpretation effectively in the context of the problem.
  • Read and comprehend mathematical arguments, including justifications of methods and formulae, and communicate their understanding.
  • Read and comprehend articles concerning applications of mathematics and communicate their understanding.
  • Use technology such as calculators and computers effectively and recognise when such use may be inappropriate.
  • Take increasing responsibility for their own learning and the evaluation.

Our free assessment / free taster session lasts approximately 40 to 80 minutes depending on age which allows us to identify areas for concern and to work on an individual programme tailored to your child. From Reception to Year 7 the activities are split up into 6 areas. This might for example be 4 Maths areas and 2 English or split evenly depending on the assessment. Once a student reaches Year 8 they are ready to start working towards their GCSE and so students usually pick a subject they need to work on such as a Pure Mathematics Programme Only, English Language or Literature, Science, History or Geography.

What our parents have to say

Since joining Study Space Tuition, my 12-year-old daughter, who is currently in Year 7, has made incredible progress in maths. She used to struggle with confidence and often felt overwhelmed, but now she approaches problems with enthusiasm and determination. The supportive environment and expert teaching have made a huge difference — not only has her understanding improved massively, but she’s also become so much more confident in her abilities. I’m truly grateful for the positive impact Study Space has had on her learning journey.

My son has only been attending Study Space Tuition since September, but the transformation has been amazing. In just a few months, his confidence has grown so much — he now feels ready to take on his SATs in May and is much more comfortable speaking up in class. The tailored support and encouragement he’s received have made all the difference. We’re so pleased with his progress!

My son has been attending Study Space Tuition for 14 months, and the progress he’s made is truly incredible. He’s gone from a Level 1 in English to scoring a 4 in his recent mock exams — a result we once thought was out of reach. More importantly, he now believes in himself and has the confidence to aim high in his GCSEs this year. The support and dedication from the team at Study Space have been invaluable.

We are so grateful to the team at the Study Space! Over the past few weeks, my daughter has been attending maths tuition, and the transformation has been incredible. She has gone from feeling unsure to genuinely enjoying the subject. Her confidence has grown immensely, and she now looks forward to every class. The friendly, supportive, and attentive teachers have made all the difference. Thank you for creating such a positive and encouraging learning environment!
