Build understanding beyond a worked answer

Explain the first decision

Before calculating, identify what is given and what must be shown. Discuss why a particular representation or method is promising.

Keep the algebra readable

Write enough intermediate working to locate an error. Practise checking signs, assumptions and special cases before moving on.

Transfer the idea

After a supported example, try a related problem with one feature changed. This reveals whether the reasoning transfers to a new setting.

Frequently asked questions

Can a tutor cover my optional modules?

Ask explicitly. Experience with OCR does not mean every tutor teaches every option, and the options available depend on your specification.

Can I focus on one difficult topic?

Yes. Bring an attempted question and identify where you became stuck. A focused lesson can work on that obstacle and the prerequisite skills behind it.

Is this support for A Level Maths too?

Further Maths is a separate qualification. Discuss any gaps in ordinary A Level Maths and whether the tutor can support both courses.
