"Avi has been a good student but over the years had plateaued in maths, and I can honestly say that Vivek has brought back that spark about maths to Avi. He enjoys it and he has improved significantly. He is doing very well in class, his grades have improved; moreover, he enjoys being there."

Our Resources page offers students an extensive collection of GCSE and A-Level Mathematics past papers, including mark schemes, for Edexcel, OCR, and OCR MEI exam boards. We hope you find these useful in your revision!

In order encourage students to explore different writers, styles and genres, as well as help them develop a love of literature, our lead English tutor Milda has compiled a list of 12 book recommendations for each year group from Year 3 to Year 11. The books on the list range from timeless classics to recent releases. As they go through the list, students will become familiar with the work of world-famous writers and meet iconic book characters.

"My daughter has had Mr G for about a year or so in preparation for 11+ and what we did notice is that she went from a bottom set in her school at maths to the middle of the top set. Where previously she just did not enjoy maths, now she actually enjoys it and is happy to tackle questions that a year ago she wouldn’t have even attempted.
