One-to-one online A-Level Maths tuition
Your child got a good grade at GCSE, then hit Year 12 and found that the algebra suddenly carries everything. A single slip in rearranging now costs a whole calculus question. An A-Level Maths tutor from RS Remote Tutoring traces those lost marks back to the line where the working went wrong, then drills that step until it holds inside full-length questions.
Each lesson is a live Zoom hour with only your child and the tutor, set to the three papers their board will put in front of them and the grade they are aiming for. Our A-Level Maths tutoring covers pure maths, statistics and mechanics, with corrections made while your child works, not in a report a week later.
No card details for the trial. No obligation to continue.
What lessons cover
Our A-Level Maths tutoring covers the full course: pure maths, statistics and mechanics. Most time goes where your child is losing marks, which is usually algebra inside longer problems. Every topic is practised through exam-style questions, with corrections made during the lesson.
Pure maths makes up most of the marks on every board, and the rest of the course leans on it. We work on algebra and functions, coordinate geometry, sequences and series, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, differentiation and integration.
When a calculus answer goes wrong, the cause is often earlier: a sign error, a fraction rearranged badly or an index law misremembered. The tutor watches the working and stops at that step.
Statistics questions reward reading the context as much as the calculation. Lessons cover sampling, data presentation, probability, the binomial and normal distributions and hypothesis testing, including how to word a conclusion so it earns the final mark.
Questions can also draw on the large data set your child studied in class, so we practise interpreting it rather than memorising it.
Mechanics is where many strong students lose confidence, because the maths is fine but the diagram is not. We practise kinematics, forces and Newton’s laws, and moments, starting every problem with a clear diagram and a stated modelling assumption.
Once the set-up is right, the equations usually follow. That habit is what the tutor checks first.
A-Level papers include proof and unstructured problems that do not tell your child which method to use. We work on choosing a starting point, setting out each line so method marks are secured, and checking an answer against the question.
As mocks get closer, the tutor switches to timed sets drawn from your child’s own board, so the pace of a two-hour maths paper stops feeling unfamiliar.
Your board and papers
Every board sets three A-Level Maths papers, but AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR place statistics and mechanics in different papers. Tutors work from your child’s own specification, so the practice questions look like the ones on exam day.
All three main boards set three written papers for A-Level Maths, with calculators allowed. What changes is where statistics and mechanics appear, which affects how revision is planned in Year 13.
| Board and specification | How the papers are split |
|---|---|
| AQA A-Level Mathematics (7357) | Paper 1 Pure Mathematics; Paper 2 Pure Mathematics and Mechanics; Paper 3 Pure Mathematics and Statistics |
| Pearson Edexcel A-Level Mathematics (9MA0) | Paper 1 and Paper 2 Pure Mathematics; Paper 3 Statistics and Mechanics; each paper two hours |
| OCR A-Level Mathematics A (H240) | Paper 1 Pure Mathematics; Paper 2 Pure Mathematics and Statistics; Paper 3 Pure Mathematics and Mechanics |
| Large data set | Statistics questions can refer to the data set your child’s board publishes and the school studies in class |
| Not sure of the board | Photograph the front of a maths mock or send the course title, and our coordinator will work out the specification |
Our tutors work across AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR. Further Maths, an international A-Level or any other maths specification needs a quick tutor check first, so mention it on the enquiry form and we will confirm cover before a trial goes in the diary.
Year 12 and Year 13
Year 12 is about making GCSE algebra hold up under harder content, while Year 13 adds the heavier calculus and puts every topic under exam conditions. The tutor follows your child’s school teaching order, so lessons support class work rather than racing ahead.
The jump from GCSE is real. Indices, surds, quadratics and straight-line work now appear inside bigger questions, so small gaps start costing marks. Early Year 12 lessons often spend time making that algebra automatic.
A typical Year 12 lesson might take differentiation from first principles, then use it to find stationary points and explain what the gradient means.
Year 13 brings integration by parts and substitution, parametric equations, further trigonometry and harder statistics and mechanics. Lessons keep the new content moving while revisiting Year 12 topics that will appear on the same papers.
One Year 13 hour might open with a substitution integral and finish on a mixed question where that integral only appears once a trig identity has been applied.
Some students are retaking the qualification or start support late in Year 13. With fewer weeks to work with, the tutor ranks topics by how many marks your child drops on each, then moves to full timed papers and the line-by-line layout that keeps method marks safe even when a final answer is wrong.
Is it right for your child
One-to-one A-Level Maths tuition suits students who understand lessons at school but lose marks in their own working, find mechanics or statistics confusing, or need a steady plan before mocks. It also helps students aiming at the top grades who need harder practice.
Your child may benefit from a private A-Level Maths tutor if they:
We start with whatever is not working. A student who freezes on proof needs a very different lesson from one who knows the methods but runs out of time.
Inside a lesson
Each A-Level Maths lesson is a 60-minute Zoom session built around the whiteboard. It opens with a quick recall check, moves to the new method, then gives your child exam questions to attempt solo while the tutor follows every line of algebra.
Your child’s first few lessons double as a map of where marks leak. The tutor notes where marks go, whether that is algebra, a misunderstood topic or exam technique, and plans the following weeks around it.
Who teaches A-Level Maths
Our A-Level Maths tutors include two qualified secondary teachers and a mathematician who has taught at undergraduate level. The coordinator picks one for your child by board, target grade and the hours you have free, and you watch them teach in the trial.
Maths, KS3 to A-Level
Imran’s teaching career has run through secondary schools and further education, so he sees exactly which GCSE habits follow a student into calculus. He covers pure and applied A-Level content against the specification and marks each line as your child writes it.
Maths and Statistics, up to A-Level
With teaching experience at secondary and undergraduate level, Asia treats A-Level content as familiar territory. Students who have given up on algebraic manipulation, calculus or statistics are the ones she works with best.
Maths, KS3 to A-Level
Lily holds QTS, has taught in secondary classrooms and takes A-Level Maths students on request. Her strength is catching a misconception early, before it hardens into a habit that costs marks on every paper.
Imran, Asia and Lily each passed identity, certificate and reference checks before their first lesson with us. Because they teach learners under 18, each one holds a current enhanced DBS check.
Four steps to start
Send us the board, the year group and the topic that keeps costing marks. We reply with one A-Level Maths tutor and why we chose them; your child has a free 30-minute lesson with them, and weekly lessons start only if the pairing works.
A marked mock script or a calculus homework your child got stuck on is the most useful thing to bring, because the tutor can start from real working instead of guessing.
Clear lesson pricing
Each 60-minute A-Level Maths lesson is £30, the same as our KS3 and GCSE hours. Three or more lessons a week drop to £27.50 apiece; the annual plan, paid upfront, is £25 a lesson, and the 30-minute trial costs nothing.

Some families add a second weekly lesson as the summer papers approach, and the coordinator talks through booking and rescheduling before any money changes hands.
Why families choose RS
A maths tutor who sees your child’s working every week spots the same slip before it costs marks again. We pair that continuity with plain updates after each lesson, and have taught UK students online since 2020 under founder and head tutor Rumaan Aslam.
Your child works with the same tutor at the same time each week. By the third or fourth lesson that tutor knows whether the trouble is sign errors, integration choices or mechanics set-up, knowledge a rotating cast would have to rebuild.
After every lesson you get a short note: the topics covered, which methods are getting stronger, which still are not and the questions to try before next week. It’s written for parents, so there is no jargon and no colour-coded chart.
Nobody teaches for us until we have seen ID, original certificates and references, and tutors of under-18s also hold a current enhanced DBS check. If the match stops working, we switch tutor at no cost and your child loses no lessons.
Students pairing maths with a science can book A-Level Chemistry tuition or A-Level Biology tuition through the same coordinator, and ask about A-Level Physics lessons, which we arrange on request, as part of our wider A-Level tutoring.
London and UK families
Yes. Lessons happen on Zoom, so a sixth former in Leeds, Cardiff or central London can work with the same tutors. Our base is in Feltham, Greater London, and the weekly slot is set around the school timetable and when the tutor is free.
For written maths, a laptop or tablet with a webcam is the practical minimum; a phone connects, but setting out an integral on one is painful. Ordinary home broadband is enough, Zoom costs nothing and the whiteboard opens in a browser tab, so there is no extra software to buy.
If your child is still closing gaps from Year 11, our GCSE Maths tutoring uses the same approach and can run alongside A-Level preparation.
Common questions
Questions parents ask before booking A-Level Maths support: cost, boards, Year 12 timing, mocks and how the trial works.
£30 for each 60-minute lesson. If your child has three or more lessons a week, the rate drops to £27.50, and paying a year upfront on the annual plan makes it £25. The 30-minute trial costs nothing and needs no card.
AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR. If you are unsure which one your child sits, a mock paper usually shows it, and we will pick a tutor who knows how that board splits pure, statistics and mechanics.
Yes, the tutor teaches all three strands. Time is weighted towards whichever one is dropping marks, so a student who is solid on pure but lost in mechanics will spend more lessons on force diagrams.
It often helps most in Year 12, because Year 13 content builds on it. Starting early gives time to secure the algebra and calculus that every later paper relies on, before exam pressure arrives.
No. When you book the trial, list the exam dates, the board and the topics your child avoids; the tutor then starts on the highest-mark topics before moving to timed past-paper questions.
Yes. The tutor you meet in the trial teaches every weekly lesson at the slot you agree. If the pairing is not working, say so and we will find another maths tutor at no cost.
Yes. Recent homework, school feedback and mock papers show the tutor exactly where marks are being lost. Your child works through the question with guidance and corrections during the lesson.
Fill in the trial form, picking Maths in the subject field and A-Levels in the level field, then mention the board, the topic giving most trouble and when your child is free. The coordinator matches a tutor and confirms a time with you.
Free 30-minute trial
Start with the topic or paper that worries your child most. In a free 30-minute trial, an A-Level Maths tutor works through it with your child and tells you which step is leaking marks and how the coming weeks would tackle it.
