What your child gets — every week.
Three things that don't show up in generic online tutoring. Every weekly maths student at Legacy gets all three by default — not as a paid upgrade, not as a 'premium tier'.
A specialist tutor — not a generalist.
GCSE maths is its own subject. The tutor we match your child with teaches GCSE maths week in, week out — they know which topics burn time at higher tier, which ones reliably surface in non-calculator papers, and the recurring traps in each board's question style.
A plan built around the gaps, not the syllabus.
Most paid tutoring quietly walks the syllabus from start to finish — including the topics your child already understands. We diagnose first, then plan against the topics actually costing the grade. Lessons are sequenced around real weak points, not a textbook contents page.
A six-weekly written progress review.
Every six weeks the tutor sends a short written report: what's been covered, what's improved, what's still wobbly, and the recommended focus for the next half-term. You see the trajectory in writing, not just 'the lesson went well'.
What we cover
Foundation tier, higher tier, and the bit nobody is honest about: choosing between them.
We cover the full GCSE maths specification across AQA, Edexcel and OCR — number, algebra, ratio and proportion, geometry, probability, statistics. The content overlaps; the differences are in question style, paper structure and which topics each board leans on. Once we know your child's school board, every drill is the right one for that board.
Foundation tier targets a 1–5; higher tier targets a 4–9. Tier choice is the single biggest strategic decision in GCSE maths and schools often won't say so plainly. A confident 5 at foundation beats a panicked 4 at higher; a solid 6 at higher beats a stretched 5 at foundation. We'll tell you honestly which tier your child is genuinely sitting in.
- Higher-tier traps we see weekly — non-factorising quadratics, simultaneous equations with a quadratic, surds, vectors, harder trigonometry, proof-style questions.
- Foundation-tier gaps that hold the grade back — fractions, percentages, ratio, and the Year 8 fluency that was never properly locked down.
- Board-matched past papers from lesson one — AQA, Edexcel or OCR, never a generic mix.
The diagnostic-first principle
How we approach maths anxiety — and why we diagnose before we teach.
Most maths tutoring fails because it covers the syllabus instead of the gaps. Your child sits through topics they already understand; the one actually costing the grade — the one they quietly avoid — gets one rushed lesson three weeks before the exam.
- Lesson one is a diagnostic, not a lecture — the tutor watches your child work through real GCSE maths and traces backwards to the underlying gap.
- Lessons sequenced around real weak points, not a textbook contents page.
- Maths anxiety isn't solved by more worksheets — it's solved by short, specific wins week after week.
- Your child is treated as a person with a learning style, not a grade prediction.
Past-paper-led revision
What revision actually looks like with us — and why it's not just past papers.
Past papers are the single most reliable revision tool in GCSE maths — they show your child the exact question style they're going to sit, train them under realistic time pressure, and surface gaps a textbook can hide. We use them seriously: board-matched, mark-scheme-aligned, and walked through line by line in the lesson rather than left as 'do it at home and we'll mark it later'.
- Past papers as a diagnostic, not the destination — the next two or three lessons are built around the topics each paper exposed.
- Exam-window weekly anchoring — every lesson from eight weeks out runs against a past paper from the right board, tier and year.
- Calculator and non-calculator practised as separate disciplines, not the same paper twice.
- Time-management taught explicitly — which questions to skip first, when to cut your losses on a four-marker, how to bank quick marks early.
