One-to-one A-Level maths for Years 12 and 13, including Further Maths, taught to whichever board your school entered you for — AQA, Edexcel or OCR. Every lesson is 55 minutes with the same tutor each week, on a shared worksheet where they can see the working rather than only the answer.
The qualification
A-Level Mathematics is examined by AQA, Edexcel and OCR, and each of them uses three papers of 100 marks — 300 in total. All three cover the same three areas: Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics.
What differs is how those areas are distributed. AQA puts Pure in Paper 1, Pure and Mechanics in Paper 2, and Pure and Statistics in Paper 3. The other boards arrange it their own way. That is why the first thing we ask is which board your school entered you for — a student revising to the wrong paper structure is doing the right maths in the wrong order.
The formulae booklet, the calculator rules and the way large data sets are handled also vary by board. None of it is difficult once you know which set you are working to. All of it is confusing if nobody asks.
Same content, different arrangement. Knowing which arrangement you sit is not a detail — it is what revision is organised around.
Why we ask about the board firstFurther Maths
Further Mathematics is a separate A-Level, not an extension of the first. Across all three boards it is four papers: a compulsory Core Pure component, plus applied option papers your school chooses.
The options are where schools differ most. Edexcel offers Further Pure, Further Mechanics, Further Statistics and Decision Mathematics. AQA's options are Discrete, Mechanics and Statistics. OCR's Further Mathematics A has a mandatory Pure Core alongside Statistics, Mechanics, Discrete and Additional Pure.
We teach Further Maths including the options, and we would rather know which two your school has picked before the first lesson than discover it in week three. Tell us when you book — Decision Maths and Further Mechanics are very different preparation.
Two students both doing Further Maths at the same school down the road can be sitting almost entirely different applied papers.
Why the option names matterWhat changes at A-Level
A-Level mark schemes award most of the credit for the working. A right answer with no justification loses marks that a wrong answer with sound reasoning keeps.
Most students who struggle at A-Level do so between September and Christmas of Year 12, when algebraic fluency that was adequate for GCSE stops being enough.
Nothing is banked along the way. Year 12 content is examined at the end of Year 13, which is why we revisit it deliberately rather than assuming it stuck.
How a lesson runs
A-Level lessons look different from GCSE ones. Less explaining from the front, more working through questions with someone watching the method as it forms.
We are not marking the answer. We are watching the line where the reasoning goes wrong, which is the only place it can be fixed.
Why the shared worksheet matters more at A-LevelThe homework is reviewed before the lesson, so we open on whatever went wrong rather than spending ten minutes finding out.
Both of you write on the same live worksheet. The tutor sees each line as it appears, which is how a slip in the second line gets caught before it reaches the fifth.
For exam questions we go through what the marks are actually awarded for. Students routinely lose method marks for working they did in their head.
Real papers from your board, in the format you will sit, with the timing that applies. Not a generic question bank.
Topics
Everything in the specification, at whichever point in it your school currently is. We check that before each lesson rather than teaching our own sequence.
Why this works at A-Level
Some of what makes a good tutor at Year 7 is irrelevant by Year 12. These are the parts that are not.
Teacher and student write into one live worksheet at the same time. At A-Level, where marks live in the method, a tutor who only receives the finished answer is missing most of what they need.
Two years of content examined at the end of the second is a long arc to hold. Someone who remembers what you found hard in November is worth more than a marketplace of strangers.
AQA, Edexcel or OCR, and for Further Maths the specific option papers your school picked. We ask before the first lesson rather than assuming.
An A-Level question can take twenty minutes to work through properly. A lesson billed as an hour and taught as forty minutes does not fit enough of them in.

We treat any information about your child with extra care. We only collect what we need to teach them well, such as their grade and what they're working on. We never use a child's photo, name, or work in any marketing without the parent's explicit written permission.

ClassArc is a one-on-one online tutoring service. We provide live, scheduled classes between a teacher and a student, along with homework, feedback, and study support.
Each class is 55 minutes. You can reschedule or cancel a class up to 5 minutes before it starts. If you miss a class without notice, we usually credit it back to your balance and reschedule based on what works for the teacher and student.
The first demo class is free, no card required. After that, plans are billed in advance for the number of classes you choose (8, 24, or ~48). We'll send you a payment link directly once you've picked a plan.
If you want to stop classes at any point, we refund whatever class balance is left on your plan. No questions asked, no friction. Refunds are processed within 7 business days.
We expect students and parents to treat teachers with respect, and teachers to do the same. We reserve the right to end the relationship if classes become unsafe, abusive, or disruptive, with a full refund of any unused balance.
If we update these terms, we'll email you before the changes take effect, so you have time to review them.
For anything, email hello@theclassarc.com.
