A GCSE Maths tutor works one-to-one on the topics a student is actually losing marks on, at Foundation or Higher tier and on their own exam board. Lessons run online with a shared whiteboard that renders proper mathematical notation, so working is written out rather than described. The first 15 minutes with any tutor is free.

We also build cookie, the revision app, and every student and every tutor here gets it at no extra cost. This is what it has for GCSE Maths to use between lessons.
Foundation tier caps at grade 5. Higher opens grades 4 to 9 but includes topics Foundation never covers, and a student entered for the wrong tier either has a ceiling they did not need or is sitting a paper where a third of the questions are unreachable.
It is one of the first things worth an outside opinion, and a tutor working through past papers from both tiers can usually give one within a couple of lessons.
Rarely on the topic a student names. The recurring ones are algebraic manipulation carried over from Key Stage 3, anything wrapped in words rather than symbols, and multi-step questions where the method mark is available but the working is not written down.
Ratio, probability and the geometry questions that need a construction are the usual suspects at Higher. A tutor can see which of these it is from a marked paper faster than from a conversation.
Maths is the subject where a general video call is least adequate. Both people need to write on the same page, in real notation, at the same time. The lesson room does that natively, including LaTeX, so an integral or a surd looks like an integral or a surd.
Between lessons, a tutor can set exam-style questions on whatever went wrong, cookie marks them the way an examiner would, and the tutor sees the same results.
Rates start at £30 an hour and each tutor sets their own. You see the exact figure on the profile before contacting anyone, and the first 15 minutes is free.
They can give you an informed opinion from marked past papers, usually within a couple of lessons. The entry decision itself sits with the school.
Six months gives room to fix foundations as well as technique. Starting after mocks still helps; the work narrows to past papers and the specific topics costing marks.

Usually, because it is almost never true; normally it is one missing foundation that made everything after it feel arbitrary. One-to-one is how you find which one, which a class of thirty cannot do.
Often, yes. Many tutors list both GCSE and A-Level Maths, and continuity is worth a lot at that transition.
