A Bit About the Course

GCSE Maths is more than numbers—it’s about problem-solving, reasoning, and making sense of the world. At Better EdSpace, we guide teenagers aged 14+ through the AQA Mathematics syllabus with small group tuition, hands-on resources, and a focus on deep, lasting understanding. As our priority is about students loving what they do we don't bombard them with tests, but we do provide Mock Exams at key learning milestones where we feel is appropriate to ensure they are fully prepared to sit their GCSE. 

Whether a student loves the logic of algebra or finds fractions daunting, our supportive and flexible approach builds confidence from the ground up. We explore maths through puzzles, real-life contexts, and clear, structured teaching that prepares learners for exams and for life.
