Sound Familiar?
Is This Your Child?
Understood IGCSE fine but is now lost in A-Level — “I understand in class but can’t do the questions alone”
Algebra keeps falling apart under pressure — sign errors, wrong manipulation, incomplete factorisation
Can differentiate and integrate mechanically but has no idea what the result actually means
Physics problems feel like “equation hunting” — searching for a formula instead of thinking through the problem
Treats practical work as a chore, but Paper 3/Paper 5 carry real marks
Our Method
How We Teach A-Levels
The game shifts from IGCSE to A-Level. It’s no longer about coverage — it’s about depth, modelling, and multi-step reasoning. Students need stronger prerequisite fluency than they realise, and they need to communicate their reasoning precisely (Cambridge expects working — unsupported calculator answers don’t earn marks).
Our approach
Prerequisite Diagnostic
Before anything else, we test the hidden prerequisites that A-Level depends on:
- •Algebraic manipulation (surds, logs, indices, factor theorem)
- •Function thinking (domain/range, composition, inverse)
- •Trigonometric identities and transformations
- •Graph sense (gradient, area, proportional reasoning)
- •Vectors and components (for Mechanics)
These aren’t A-Level topics — they’re tools. If they’re not automatic, every A-Level topic becomes harder than it needs to be.
Concept → Procedure → Problem Solving → Exam Performance
We build in this order. Coaching often starts at step 4 (past papers). We don’t. Students who understand deeply perform better under pressure than students who memorised solution patterns.
Problem Routine (Taught Explicitly)
Maths routine:
- Represent (sketch/graph/define variables)
- Plan (choose method)
- Execute (clean working — method marks)
- Check (units, shape, sign, domain)
- Communicate (final statement in context)
Physics routine:
- Define the system
- Diagram (forces/fields/circuit)
- State principle (Newton/energy/conservation)
- Assumptions (air resistance, uniform field, etc.)
- Solve + check (units, limiting cases)
- Explain (reasoning for “why” prompts)
Paper-Specific Training
Maths (9709)
- •Paper 1 + 3 (Pure): algebra, functions, trig, calculus — weekly mini-papers mixing topics
- •Paper 4 (Mechanics): diagram first, sign convention stated, components resolved, then algebra
- •Paper 5/6 (Statistics): distribution selection, hypothesis testing structure, conclusion in context
Physics (9702)
- •Paper 1 (MCQ): daily concept diagnosis with 1-line justification per answer
- •Paper 2 + 4 (Structured): command-word awareness, formula sheet fluency, structured writing
- •Paper 3 (Practical): table design, graph scaling, best-fit line, gradient/intercept meaning, uncertainty, improvements
- •Paper 5 (Planning & Analysis): variable identification, method outline, data processing plan, limitations
Practical Skills Are Year-Long
Physics AO3 (experimental skills) carries 20% at both AS and A Level. Paper 3 has two experiments, each 1 hour. Paper 5 tests planning, analysis, and evaluation. These can’t be “revised” — they must be built through regular practice all year.
The Difference
What Makes Our A-Levels Teaching Different
A-Level Maths isn’t harder IGCSE. It’s a fundamentally different subject. The thinking is more abstract, the problems are multi-step, and memorisation is useless. We build mathematical maturity — the ability to see a problem, identify which concepts apply, and construct a solution. Pure Maths needs proof skills. Mechanics needs physics intuition. Statistics needs probabilistic thinking. We develop all three.
From IGCSE to A-Level — what changes:
- •Multi-step reasoning replaces single-concept questions
- •Mathematical modelling becomes central — turn words into equations, solve, interpret
- •Precision in notation, assumptions, units, and logical structure is now non-negotiable
- •Transfer is expected — using the same principle in unfamiliar contexts
- •Calculator is standard scientific only — no CAS, no graphical; working must be shown
Paper structure (Maths 9709):
- Paper 1 (Pure 1): 1h 50m, 75 marks — the backbone
- Paper 3 (Pure 3): 1h 50m, 75 marks — deeper pure topics
- Paper 4 (Mechanics): 1h 15m, 50 marks
- Paper 5 (Prob & Stats 1): 1h 15m, 50 marks
Important: AS “Pure only” (Paper 1+2) CANNOT be carried forward to complete A-Level later. Full A-Level requires Paper 1+3 plus either Paper 4+5 or Paper 5+6.
Paper structure (Physics 9702):
- Paper 1 (MCQ): 1h 15m — 15.5% of A-Level
- Paper 2 (AS Structured): 1h 15m — 23%
- Paper 3 (Practical): 2h — 11.5%
- Paper 4 (A2 Structured): 2h — 38.5% (the big one)
- Paper 5 (Planning & Analysis): 1h 15m — 11.5%
What We Fix
Common Gaps We Fix
Maths
- Algebra collapses: expanding, factoring, surds, logs, indices — these must be automatic
- Calculus is mechanical: can differentiate but can’t interpret or set up optimisation/modelling problems
- Mixed questions panic: A-Level blends topics (trig + calculus + algebra) and students haven’t practised this
- Exam language blindness: “hence” means use the previous result; “show that” means derive it; “exact value” means no decimals
Physics
- Equation hunting: searching for a formula instead of identifying the principle first
- Vector and sign convention errors: especially mechanics, fields, circuits
- Graph literacy: can plot but can’t interpret gradient/area or linearise relationships
- Practical skills: weak table design, poor graph skills, no uncertainty awareness
Day 1
The Diagnostic
For AS students (Year 12): Tests IGCSE-level prerequisites — algebra, functions, trig, graph skills, vectors. Also checks whether they can handle multi-step reasoning (not just single-concept questions).
For A2 students (Year 13): Also tests AS topic retention — especially Pure Maths 1 concepts that Paper 3 builds on.
45–60 minutes. Independent. Then we solve everything together.

FAQ
Common Questions from A-Levels Parents
Quick answers to common questions.
This is the most common pattern we see. IGCSE success can come from practising past papers and learning patterns. A-Level requires deeper algebraic fluency, multi-step reasoning, and the ability to link topics. The diagnostic tells us exactly which prerequisites are weak.
Yes. For AS students, we build the foundation that A2 depends on. For A2 students, we focus on high-weightage papers (Paper 4 is 38.5% of Physics) and ensure practical skills are exam-ready.
Depends on their strengths and university plans. Mechanics suits students heading towards engineering/physics and requires confident algebra + vector skills. Statistics suits students heading towards business/economics/biological sciences. We can advise after the diagnostic.
Yes. Paper 3 and Paper 5 carry combined 23% of the A-Level. We build practical skills throughout the year — table design, graph scaling, gradient calculation, uncertainty estimation, evaluation writing. These are concrete, teachable skills.
Very much so. A-Level Pure Mathematics covers algebra, functions, calculus, and statistics at a depth that exceeds SAT requirements. Students who are solid in A-Level Maths find SAT/ACT math sections comfortable. We can integrate SAT-style practice where relevant.
