Maths with Stefan

Lessons for every level

Every lesson is built around where your child is now, whether that's building confidence in Year 6 or aiming for the top grades at GCSE.

Years 6–8

Strong foundations

Number, fractions, early algebra and problem solving, so the bigger topics later feel manageable. Good for catching up or getting ahead.
Years 9–11

GCSE and IGCSE

Foundation and Higher tier, following what they're doing at school. Edexcel International GCSE (linear and modular) and other exam boards.

How I teach

Start from what they know

The first lesson finds the gaps. From there, each lesson builds on the one before.
Explain it more than one way

If an explanation doesn't land, I try another: a diagram, a simpler example or a different route to the same answer.
Practise like the real thing

Older students work on real exam questions, marked the way an examiner would.

Taught to the mark scheme

Examiners give marks for the method, not just the final answer, so lots of marks are won or lost in the working. Students learn to show every step that earns credit.

M1: a correct method
A1: an accurate answer (needs the M1)
B1: a correct result, independent of method
