Further Maths Tutors
The qualification where two students on the same board can be sitting completely different papers.
Trial lessons are 50% off the normal rate.
Math Wizard teaches A Level Further Maths on all three English boards. AQA 7367 is three papers of two hours and 100 marks, with the options on Paper 3 (two of Mechanics, Statistics and Discrete). Edexcel 9FM0 and OCR H245 are each four papers of 1h30 and 75 marks: two compulsory Core Pure papers plus two optional papers. Lessons cost £60–£80 per hour 1-to-1, online across the UK or in person in 17 cities.
How Is A Level Further Maths Structured?
Unlike A Level Maths, whose content is prescribed by the Department for Education and identical everywhere, Further Maths genuinely differs between boards – and differs between students on the same board.
AQA 7367
Three papers, two hours, 100 marks each. Papers 1 and 2 are compulsory core. Paper 3 carries the options, and students take two of Mechanics, Statistics and Discrete.
Edexcel 9FM0
Four papers, 1h30, 75 marks each. Core Pure Mathematics 1 and 2 are compulsory, then two optional papers chosen from eight – Further Pure, Further Statistics, Further Mechanics and Decision.
OCR H245
Four papers, 1h30, 75 marks each. Pure Core 1 and 2 are mandatory, plus any two of Statistics, Mechanics, Discrete and Additional Pure.
Why it matters immediately
A student revising Decision Maths who was entered for Further Mechanics is revising the wrong subject. Establishing the actual entry is the first thing worth doing, and it is surprisingly often unknown at home.
What Makes Further Maths Harder Than A Level Maths?
It runs alongside A Level Maths, not after it. Students meet Further Maths content while still learning the A Level content it builds on, so there is no comfortable gap in which to consolidate.
Complex numbers and matrices are new objects. Not harder versions of something familiar – genuinely new mathematics with their own rules, met from a standing start.
Fewer people can help. School Further Maths sets are often small, sometimes taught by whoever is available, and a tutor comfortable with A Level Maths is not automatically comfortable with Further Pure 2 or Decision.
And it is usually taken by students who are used to finding maths easy. For many, it is the first time sustained difficulty happens, and that is as much of an adjustment as the content.
Do you know which optional papers your school entered them for?
Most parents don't, and it changes what revision is even relevant. The first lesson establishes it and works from there - half price, nothing to commit to.

Who teaches your lessons
A maths specialist – someone who teaches maths and no other subject, works from the same worksheets you can read on this site, and follows the same method with every student.
You are told exactly who your tutor is before the first lesson, never after. That lesson is half price, with no contract, so if the match is not right you have lost one half-price hour and nothing else.
Fees
| 1-to-1, in person or online | £60–£80 per hour |
| Small group (5–6 students) | £40 per student per hour |
| Trial lesson | 50% off the normal rate |
The rate depends on level – A Level and Advanced Higher sit at the upper end. There is no registration fee, no minimum package, and no charge for the worksheets or materials.
Most UK tutoring agencies quote you privately. Ours are above.

Where these facts come from
Every paper structure, mark total, timing and grade scale on this page was checked against the awarding body’s own published specification. Those documents are free, and they are the only source that is definitive – if anything here ever disagrees with one of them, the specification is right and this page is wrong.

- OCR – A Level Mathematics A H240, specification at a glance
Specifications are revised from time to time. Where a course has changed – the 2023 revision to National 5 and Higher, for example – this site follows the current version, which a good deal of older revision material still does not.
