Year 10 Course

New students joining at the start of the course benefit from a 4-week trial period. Students wishing to leave at the end of the trial period will be given a refund of the tuition fees with no further commitment to the course. (See terms and conditions)

Our Year 10 course is intended for students of any ability in maths that want the chance to enter at the higher level G.C.S.E. and target the A*/A grades.

It is designed to give students the thorough grounding in maths that is essential for students to excel at the G.C.S.E.

The course is also written to encourage students to delve deeper into the syllabus, by providing them with challenging work, but by supporting them through those challenges; both after-the-lesson, and outside-of-the-lesson. In this way, we can stretch the student's ability thereby making the G.C.S.E. exam feel easier, but also to smooth the transition to A-level study.

Lesson Structure

Our course and our approach to teaching is highly structured and meticulously organised - and our lesson structure follows in the same vein

Each lesson is 2½-3 hours long, which sounds excessive, but trust us - it works - because the lesson is broken up into manageable chunks of about 40 minutes each; so the students don't get bored, tired or lose concentration

Lesson Structure

Time Allocated Task Description
40 minutes
Review of Previous Homework
 The first 40 minutes is spent reviewing the previous homework
and identifying any resolving difficulties that individual students had with the work
The students are then given a list of the corrections that they need to complete -
mistakes must ALWAYS be rectified…
40 minutes
Weekly Test
 Students are tested on the work we learned 3-weeks ago
that they did the homework on 2-weeks ago,
and that they corrected last-week…
The test will identify any tiny weaknesses in their understanding of that topic
and 3-guided corrections are set for each question they got wrong in the test!
We have a 4-week rolling programme for each topic: Learning, Practising, Correcting and finally Reviewing -
we don't give them a change to lose that hard earned understanding of a topic!
40 minutes
Learn new topics
 Because we spend lots of time outside of the lesson preparing the lesson notes and examples,
we can ensure that we teach in a fluid, coherent manner - which speeds up the pace of learning,
meaning that our lessons are delivered at a pace that is exhilarating for the student!
5 minutes
5 minute break!
 At this point, we indulge in a short break, where we pass around a box of chocolates/biscuits/health-bars…
Only 5-minutes is required to refresh the students and get them ready to concentrate again
40 minutes
Practice the new topic
 Now, we practice plenty of examples.
I give students who are stuck a little 'nudge' to get them going again…
(Any more than a 'nudge' isn't teaching, it's 'showing'!)
-- minutes
Time allowed for students
that need extra help
 There is usually a little time left at the end of the lesson,
for helping students with any individual difficulties
It is not unusual (particularly as the exams near), for me to stay beyond 8 pm
helping students individually!
