My Approach to A Level Maths and Further Maths Tuition
Achieving top grades in A Level Maths and Further Maths requires effective preparation, structured practice, and the right guidance. As an experienced A Level Maths tutor, I can help you improve your understanding of key concepts, fill gaps in your mathematical knowledge, guide your independent study outside of lessons, and structure your revision to help you secure A/A* grades.
Proven Success and Experience
I achieved 283/300 (A*) in my A Level Maths exams and 288/300 (A*) in A Level Further Maths, so I know what it takes to excel. More importantly, I know how to support you in reaching the same level of success. My approach is designed to help you master the material, develop strong problem-solving skills, and apply mathematical techniques effectively in a wide range of contexts.
Practice-Driven Approach
During our sessions, we will work through a variety of practice exercises and exam-style questions, ranging from foundational problems to challenging scenarios. This approach not only builds your confidence but also hones your exam technique. Success in A Level Maths and Further Maths isn’t just about understanding the material—it’s about applying it clearly and accurately, ensuring your answers align with the mark scheme.
Interactive and Engaging Online Lessons
All sessions are conducted over Zoom, using an interactive whiteboard that allows real-time collaboration. This creates an authentic, engaging experience similar to in-person tuition. After each session, I’ll assign tailored homework to reinforce your learning. Often, it’s the work you do outside of lessons that has the greatest impact on your success.
Ongoing Support
My support doesn’t stop at the end of the session. I’m available via WhatsApp or email to answer any questions you have between lessons, ensuring you feel fully supported throughout your A Level Maths and/or Further Maths journey.

Ali Malik ★★★★★
I was tutored by Nicole for about 7 months, and during this time I had to complete the entire … More FM course.Every session with her would boost my ability and confidence in whatever area of maths we had targeted. I feel this was because she had a good intuition for picking up on a student’s weaknesses. Nicole would dedicate her entire focus and energy during that session towards careful observation of my work as it progressed, and gently provide advice, alternative methods and corrections whenever necessary. The system she has devised using a whiteboard app works very well as it mimics having 1-1 tuition in person. Compared to other tutors, the focus and energy Nicole brings is unmatched.She has a very patient and kind manner, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone who wishes to get the best possible grade for maths/further maths. -
Alex Moseley (Kate) ★★★★★
Brilliant Maths tutor, I would highly recommend. She caters for all levels and will always … More go over anything you don't understand. I have just started my A-levels and was only going to do maths, but thanks to Nicole, I felt confident enough to make the decision to do further maths. She also helped me understand a lot more than I would've if I didn't have her as a tutor. Would highly recommend -
Milly Maddison ★★★★★
Nicole has been an amazing tutor this past year! I have seen my confidence in Maths improve … More so much. Nicole did not only help me with skills and methods to tackle problems but also the perseverance and overcoming any mental blocks I faced. A mix of jokes and understandable examples meant I could go a practise any questions set. I have learnt and achieved so much more with Nicole than I would’ve ever expected with a tutor. An hour a week was all that was needed to completely change my view towards maths. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone!
