Another A at GCSE

One of my students was away on holiday and so could not report his results until now.

He got an A at GCSE maths.

If anybody is looking for a maths tutor on the Wirral, or maths tuition on the Wirral, I would be delighted to receive your phone call or email.

Feedback

Here is some very kind feedback in the past day.


Alison 'This tutor is very professional in his approach. He has engaged with our daughter and sparked a real interest in maths again - after a small number of lessons there is already a tangible increase in her confidence and understanding. Have no hesitation in recommending this tutor.'

I have been very pleased with the GCSE results.

Feedback

More GCSE Results

The GCSE results have been very good.

One student failed her maths really badly last time, before lessons with me, but now she has got her C.

Another got a B, which exceeded her target grade of C.




GCSE results

I had many more students doing A-Level last year than GCSE.

So far results have been great.

Before she met me, one student was deeply worried that she would not get a C. She got a high B. I am very pleased for her. She worked very hard on her maths.

More on AS Level Results

One of my students went from a U last year to a C with me. That was pleasing. He worked very hard for that C.

Disappointing results continued

One of my students who did badly had a teacher who was off ill for a long time, and was replaced by a teacher who was learning A-Level as he went along.

Perhaps one hour a week of extra tuition can't really overcome that?

Judging by the reactions on the forums, there is a big jump from GCSE to A Level.


GCSE is not good preparation for A Level and some students struggle with the new level.


Feedback

Some recent comments, within the last week.


'Thanks for the tuition as it really helped me to achieve my A grade'

'Michael is very pleased and we are very grateful to you for all the help you have given him over the past few months. You have kept his interest and confidence growing.'


'Sophie really enjoyed the lesson. What was heartening was that as soon as you left she was keen to show me the new way of working out long multiplication - it was good to see the enthusiasm.'



Disappointing results

Some of my AS-Level students had disappointing results. I expected some of them to get a D, but they did not.

One of my students did get 287/300, but some students did worse than expected, even though they were doing past papers reasonably during lessons.

I had helped one of them get an A at GCSE, but he still did badly at AS Level.

My students who had 2 lessons per week all did really well.

Is the lesson that just 1 hour a week is not enough to cover C1, C2 and either S1 or M1?

A-Level Results

All my students doing year 2 A-levels got the grades they needed to get to university.

One student got 97/100 in one module. That is very impressive.

My students doing AS-Level also did better than they expected at the start of the year. One missed an overall A grade by just 6 marks.

Nobody got worse than a C at AS Level.

Congratulations to all of them for their reward for their hard work!
