Matched to your exam board
Sessions include content from AQA or Edexcel's actual specification, with a focus on answering questions similar to those on exam papers — not a generic curriculum. Foundation and Higher tier, both covered.

Why 1:1 online mentoring works
Not another worksheet pack. Sessions are structured around what you're covering in school and the exams ahead — with real focus on the topics that are actually costing you marks.
Built around your gaps
The intro call maps what's solid and what's shaky. This will help us build a plan of action, so time goes on the topics that are actually losing you marks.
Confidence, not just content
A lot of GCSE maths is knowing you can start a question under pressure. Sessions build the confidence to pick up marks where you can — even when you're not sure of the full method.
How it works
-
01
Free 30-minute intro call
A relaxed video call to talk through how sessions will be structured, your current target grade, and what's been hardest so far. Parents are very welcome to join. No cost, no obligation.
-
02
A plan built around you
Based on the call, sessions include content from the AQA/Edexcel syllabus, focused on what will move your grade fastest.
-
03
Flexible 1:1 sessions
Worked examples, past-paper questions, and a clear "what to practice before next time" at the end of every session — by video call, wherever you are.
AQA vs Edexcel: what's actually different
Both boards cover the same core GCSE Maths content — number, algebra, geometry, ratio & proportion, statistics and probability. The real difference is in how questions are asked.
AQA
Exam structure
- Clear, consistent structure across all papers
- Questions presented straightforwardly, making it easy to show your working
Mark scheme
- Rewards logical, methodical working
- Marks for clear, structured working, even without the final answer
Question style
- More routine, familiar question types
- Focus on core concepts, with less emphasis on unfamiliar or extended real-world scenarios
Edexcel
Exam structure
- Still well-structured, but with more varied question formats
- Often includes longer, multi-step questions and contexts that need more interpretation
Mark scheme
- Rewards clear reasoning and problem-solving, not just correct answers
- Often gives marks for method even with an incorrect final answer
Question style
- More complex, challenging problems with real-world contexts
- More multi-step and higher-order thinking questions
Pricing
Simple, transparent pricing — plus a discounted package once you're both sure it's the right fit.

About your mentor
Hi, I'm Charlie — the person behind The GCSE Maths Mentor. I'm currently taking a gap year, holding an offer to study at a top Russell Group university, having achieved A*A*A*A at A-Level (Further Mathematics, Mathematics, Economics and Physics) plus an A* in the EPQ.
As part of a college initiative, I mentored A-Level maths students across both Years 12 and 13 alongside my studies — and I'm bringing that same 1:1 approach to GCSE mentoring, entirely online. Every student has to take GCSE maths, whether they like it or not, and I'm here to help you work towards achieving your best grade.

Frequently asked questions
AQA and Edexcel, both Foundation and Higher tier. Tell me which one at the intro call and sessions will include content from that specification.
A relaxed 30-minute video call to talk through the exam board, current grade, target grade, and what's felt hardest so far. Parents are welcome to join. There's no obligation to book further sessions afterwards.
Zoom, a stable internet connection, a calculator, and either a compatible stylus or a digital writing pad — whichever you prefer — for working through questions live on Zoom's whiteboard. Nothing needs to be sent or printed in advance. A webcam is welcome and helps sessions feel more personal, but it's not essential — the whiteboard and audio are what the session runs on.
Not currently — every session is 1:1, so time goes entirely on your gaps rather than being split across a group.
Sessions are booked and paid for via Calendly. A full refund is available with at least 48 hours' notice; inside 48 hours, the session can be rescheduled rather than refunded.
I hold a Basic DBS check. All contact goes through the parent's or guardian's email, and sessions only ever take place over Zoom, unless a different arrangement is mutually agreed between parents/guardians and me. Sessions are not recorded. Parents are welcome to join the free intro call and any session on request.
Let's turn "I don't get it" into "I've got this."
