A Level Further Mathematics Tutoring

Online A Level Further Maths tutoring for AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR A, OCR B (MEI) and Cambridge International: core pure plus the optional papers your school has chosen.

Further Maths is often the first course where strong mathematicians get stuck: proofs need full rigour, complex numbers and matrices are new ways of thinking, and the optional papers vary from school to school. A Further Maths tutor works from your exact specification, your option choices and your own past papers. Tell us your board, code and options during onboarding and we match you with a tutor, usually within 24 hours. Sessions are online.

AS Level vs Full A Level: What's the Difference?

We support students at both stages - here's how they compare

Area
AS Level (Year 12)
A Level (Year 12–13)
Qualification
A separate AS qualification. The result does not count towards the A Level
The full A Level, with all papers sat in the same exam series at the end of the course
Papers (AQA example)
AQA 7366: two papers of 1 hour 30 minutes, 80 marks each
AQA 7367: three papers of 2 hours, 100 marks each
Core Pure
Part of the core pure content, with shorter, more structured questions
All of the core pure content, with longer problems and more proof
Options
Optional papers depend on the board
Two optional papers (AQA: two option sections in Paper 3; OCR B (MEI): majors and minors)
University View (examples)
Imperial expects Maths applicants to take AS Further Maths if their school offers only the AS
Cambridge asks for A Level Further Mathematics for Mathematics; Imperial's Mathematics BSc asks for an A* in it

Exam boards covered:AQAPearson EdexcelOCR AOCR B (MEI)Cambridge International

AQA A Level Further Mathematics (7367)

Written Exam

Papers 1 and 2 can assess any of the compulsory content. Paper 3 has two answer booklets, one for each of your two options.

3 papers, 2 hours each
Paper 1: 100 marks, 33⅓% | Paper 2: 100 marks, 33⅓% | Paper 3: 100 marks, 33⅓%
Paper 3 options: any two of Mechanics, Statistics and Discrete

Pearson Edexcel A Level Further Mathematics (9FM0)

Each paper: 75 marks, 25%
Option 1 papers: Further Pure 1, Further Statistics 1, Further Mechanics 1, Decision Mathematics 1 | Option 2 papers: Further Pure 2, Further Statistics 2, Further Mechanics 2, Decision Mathematics 2, each only with its matching Option 1 paper (e.g. Further Statistics 1 + Further Statistics 2).

Key Assessment Notes

  • Further Maths is linear: all papers are sat in the same May/June series at the end of the course
  • Pearson Edexcel and OCR A papers are 75 marks in 90 minutes, AQA papers 100 marks in 2 hours - practise with papers of the right length
  • Check which options your school teaches before you start, as they decide which papers you sit
  • Pearson Edexcel, OCR A and OCR B (MEI) let you sit extra option papers; each specification explains how your grade is then worked out
  • OCR B (MEI) is withdrawing Further Pure with Technology (Y436): the final exam is in June 2028, with no resit
  • WJEC Eduqas does not currently offer AS or A Level Further Mathematics

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about A Level Further Mathematics tutoring

We match tutors to AQA 7367, Pearson Edexcel 9FM0, OCR A H245, OCR B (MEI) H645 and Cambridge International 9231. Tell us your board, specification code and optional papers during onboarding, and we match you with a tutor for that combination, usually within 24 hours. The options matter as much as the board, because they decide half of your papers.

Entirely by written exams at the end of the course. AQA sets three 2 hour papers of 100 marks, with your two options in Paper 3. Pearson Edexcel and OCR A set four 90 minute papers of 75 marks: two core pure and two options. OCR B (MEI) sets Core Pure (50%) plus a major and a minor, or three minors.

Yes. Tell us exactly which options you sit, for example Edexcel Further Mechanics 1 and Decision Mathematics 1, or MEI Statistics Major and Modelling with Algorithms. Your tutor then works on those papers' content and past papers. If your school has not confirmed your options yet, sessions can start with core pure, which every route includes.

Further Maths assumes you know the content of A Level Mathematics. OCR B (MEI), for example, says learners are expected to know it for Core Pure, while Pearson Edexcel sets no formal entry requirement but designs Maths and Further Maths to be taught in parallel. In practice, gaps in A Level Maths quickly show up in Further Maths, so tutoring often covers both.

Some competitive maths courses do. The University of Cambridge asks Mathematics applicants for A Level Further Mathematics, and Imperial College London's Mathematics BSc lists an A* in Further Mathematics in its minimum entry standard, with special cases for schools that do not offer it. Requirements vary, so check each course you are considering.

It can be, especially if your school offers only the AS. Imperial College London, for example, says Mathematics applicants whose school offers AS but not A Level Further Mathematics are expected to take it. AS Further Mathematics is a separate qualification; at AQA (7366) it is two papers of 1 hour 30 minutes and 80 marks each.

Yes. Bundles can be split across subjects, so you can use the same hours for Maths and Further Maths. Mention both, with their boards and codes, during onboarding. Because Further Maths builds directly on A Level Maths, sessions can move between the two, for example fixing integration technique before tackling volumes of revolution.

You can start at any time, including a few weeks before the exams, and matching usually happens within 24 hours. Close to the exams it makes sense to focus on timed papers for your exact options and the core pure topics that cost you most in mocks. Starting earlier leaves more time for the harder proof and complex number work.

Sessions are one-to-one and online. Bring the questions you are stuck on, ideally from your own board's past papers, and your tutor works through the reasoning with you before you try similar questions alone. For Further Maths the focus is often on setting out complete, rigorous solutions, since method marks depend on clear working.
