GCSE Maths Revision That Actually Works

MathsTutor is board-agnostic — the content covers the core GCSE mathematics curriculum that is common to all major exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC. The vast majority of GCSE maths content is shared across all boards; the small differences are typically in question wording rather than mathematical content. Your child will be fully prepared regardless of which board their school uses.

That depends on how consistently they practise — but the evidence is clear: daily practice beats occasional cramming. Students who complete at least 15 minutes of focused maths practice every day consistently improve. MathsTutor's gamification (streaks, XP, badges) is specifically designed to build that daily habit. Many parents report their child moving up a grade or two within two to three months of regular use. We recommend starting with the free assessment to identify specific gaps, then focusing practice on those areas.

A private GCSE maths tutor typically costs £35–50 per hour in the UK. MathsTutor premium costs £9.99 per month — giving your child unlimited daily practice across the full curriculum. It is not a replacement for a tutor if your child needs individual feedback on their working, but it is far superior for building fluency through repetition. Many families use MathsTutor alongside occasional tutoring: the tutor addresses conceptual gaps, and MathsTutor builds speed and confidence through daily practice.

The free tier includes daily exercises with a usage limit, access to all GCSE topics, and the XP/badge system. Premium unlocks: unlimited daily exercises, Hard and Elite difficulty levels (essential for grade 7–9 targeting), the full parent progress dashboard with per-topic breakdowns, and priority support. For GCSE preparation, we strongly recommend premium — the Elite difficulty questions are specifically calibrated to the challenge level of higher-tier exam papers.
