A Level Mathematics Tutoring

Online A Level Maths tutoring for AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR A, OCR B (MEI) and Cambridge International: pure, statistics, mechanics and the large data set, taught to your board's papers.

An A Level Maths tutor works on the places where marks are actually lost: gaps in pure maths that spread into every paper, statistics questions set on the large data set, and mechanics problems that need a clear diagram before any algebra. Tell us your exam board and specification code during onboarding and we match you with a tutor for that course, usually within 24 hours. Sessions are online and built around your own board's past papers and mark schemes, whether you are in Year 12, Year 13 or resitting.

AS Level (Year 12)
A Level (Year 12–13)
Qualification
A separate qualification, usually sat at the end of Year 12. AS results do not count towards the A Level
The full A Level, with every paper sat in the same exam series at the end of the course
Papers (AQA example)
AQA 7356: two papers of 1 hour 30 minutes, 80 marks each
AQA 7357: three papers of 2 hours, 100 marks each
Pure Content
Proof, algebra, coordinate geometry, binomial expansion, trigonometry, exponentials, first differentiation and integration, vectors
Adds functions and modelling, further trigonometry, parametric equations, differential equations, numerical methods and harder integration
Statistics
Sampling, data presentation, probability, the binomial distribution and binomial hypothesis tests
Adds conditional probability, the normal distribution and further hypothesis tests
Mechanics
Units, kinematics in a straight line, forces and Newton's laws
Adds projectiles, motion in two dimensions, friction and moments

A Level Mathematics Syllabus Coverage

AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR all teach the Department for Education's subject content for A Level Mathematics, so the pure, statistics and mechanics topics below are the same whichever board you take. What changes is how the topics are split across papers, which large data set you need to know and the style of the questions. The assessment section further down shows each board's papers for the June 2027 and June 2028 exams.

Syllabus for exams in 2026 and 2027; exams in 2028, 2029 and 2030 use the 2028-2030 syllabus, which has no significant changes to teaching. There is no large data set in this syllabus

Key Assessment Notes

  • AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR A Level Maths are linear: all papers are sat in the same May/June series at the end of the course
  • There is no coursework or NEA - your grade comes entirely from the written papers
  • The Department for Education requires every English board to use a large data set, and exam questions assume you know it, so study it during the course, not in the last week
  • OCR B (MEI) has changed its large data set arrangements: the A Level (H640) uses LDS 9 in June 2027 and LDS 10 from June 2028, while the AS (H630) already uses LDS 10 in June 2027, so a Year 12 student sitting the AS in 2027 learns LDS 10, not LDS 9
  • WJEC Eduqas does not currently offer AS or A Level Mathematics
  • OCR now publishes its specifications under the name Cambridge OCR; the codes H240 and H640 are unchanged

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about A Level Mathematics tutoring

Yes. During onboarding you tell us your board and specification code: AQA 7357, Pearson Edexcel 9MA0, OCR A H240, OCR B (MEI) H640 or Cambridge International 9709. We then match you with a tutor for that course, usually within 24 hours. The code matters because the papers differ: AQA puts mechanics in Paper 2 and statistics in Paper 3, while Edexcel tests both in Paper 3.

Yes. Sessions can focus only on statistics if that is where you are losing marks: sampling, data presentation, probability, the binomial and normal distributions and hypothesis testing, plus your board's large data set. Statistics sits in AQA Paper 3, Edexcel Paper 3 Section A, OCR A Paper 2 and OCR B (MEI) Paper 2, so your tutor practises with those papers.

Yes, it is still examined. The large data set is a pre-released set of real data that every English board must use, and its exam questions assume you already know it. AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR A each use one data set. For the OCR B (MEI) A Level, LDS 9 is used in June 2027 and LDS 10 from June 2028 onwards. The OCR B (MEI) AS already uses LDS 10 in June 2027.

No. A Level Mathematics has no coursework or NEA at AQA, Pearson Edexcel or OCR. Your grade comes from the written papers, all sat in the same exam series at the end of the course. That makes regular timed past paper practice, checked against the mark scheme, the most direct way to prepare.

Sessions are one-to-one and online. You bring the topics, homework or past paper questions you are stuck on, and your tutor works through the method with you, then gives you similar questions to try on your own. Over time the plan moves from fixing weak topics to full timed papers marked against your board's mark scheme.

Yes. Bundles can be split across subjects, so you can use the same hours for Maths and Physics. Mention both subjects and both exam boards during onboarding. The subjects overlap more than many students expect: mechanics, vectors, graphs and rearranging equations all appear in both, so fixing one often helps the other.

You can start at any point, including a few weeks before the exams. Matching usually happens within 24 hours. Close to the exams it makes sense to concentrate on timed papers for your board, the topics that cost you the most marks in mocks and the large data set questions. Starting earlier gives more time to fix gaps, but late help is still useful.

Yes. AS Mathematics is a separate qualification, usually sat at the end of Year 12, and its result does not count towards the full A Level. At AQA, for example, AS Mathematics (7356) is two papers of 1 hour 30 minutes and 80 marks each. Tutoring for AS works the same way: your board's papers, your weak topics, timed practice.

Yes. Further Mathematics has its own page and its own specifications: AQA 7367, Pearson Edexcel 9FM0, OCR A H245 and OCR B (MEI) H645. Further Maths assumes the content of A Level Mathematics, so if you take both, your tutor can work on gaps in Maths that are holding back your Further Maths.

Bring your latest mock or a recent test with the marks, your board and specification code, and a list of topics you avoid. That lets your tutor see whether marks are lost on understanding, accuracy or exam technique, and plan the first few sessions around the topics that will move your mark the most.
