Private Teaching

AS & A2 Maths and Further Maths

We offer tuition courses in AS and A2 Maths and Further Maths. We teach all of the modules -- core, mechanics, statistics and decision maths -- and from every English exam board.

We teach a summer programme, Get Ready for A Level Maths, for students who want to give themselves a head start for the difficult transition from GCSE to A level.

We also offer enrichment courses in Maths which are aimed at students who are not challenged by the curriculum at school, and for sixth formers planning on reading a mathematical subject at university, including Oxbridge. This includes AEA and STEP.

We provide private tuition, which is offered on an hourly basis and takes place in the tutor's home in central York, near the National Railway Museum. Pupils can be taught individually or in pairs.
