Match the qualification code and stage to your school entry before selecting a course.

Who should take XMA01?

Start with the qualification on your school timetable. I match the lessons to your current chapter, recent assessments and examination entry.

Students starting advanced study who need support with the units selected by their school.

Students who need clear explanations, guided examples and regular independent practice.

Families looking for a plan based on a recent marked test and the school’s topic sequence.

Papers and exam preparation

1

Three units: P1, P2 and one approved applied option. Each examination is 90 minutes and 75 marks; calculators are allowed.

Teaching plan

  • I check your specification, school plan and a recent test, then teach a priority gap in the introductory lesson.
  • Each topic moves from a worked example to a question you solve independently and explain in your own words.
  • Homework targets the first incorrect step; an error log helps us revisit methods that need more practice.
  • Once the methods are secure, we combine topics and practise timed questions from the appropriate papers.

Common questions about XMA01

Course selection, lesson planning and examination preparation.

01

What should I bring to the introductory lesson?

Bring your specification code, school topic list, a recent marked test and your next assessment date. I use these to choose a practical starting point.

02

Can lessons follow my school textbook?

Yes. Share the title, edition and current chapter. I can align practice with your school sequence while checking coverage against the qualification specification.

03

How does exam preparation work?

We begin with the methods behind lost marks, then move to mixed and timed practice. You learn to explain steps, check answers and correct recurring mistakes.

What students build in XMA01

Confident problem solving Clear mathematical working Independent practice Exam readiness

Start with a route check, not guesswork.

Bring the student's current syllabus, recent test, or university target. The introductory session can confirm whether XMA01 is the right path and where to begin.
