The GCSE maths crossover course

Lessons designed specifically for students aiming for a Grade 4, 5, or 6. We are focusing entirely on the crossover topics—the exact questions that decide your final grade.

What are crossover topics? They are the specific topics that appear on both the Foundation and Higher tier papers.

On the Foundation paper, they are the hardest questions at the very back.

On the Higher paper, they are the vital easier questions at the very front.

These are the make-or-break marks. Many students drop these marks because they have gaps in their maths knowledge, misread wordy questions, or lack basic exam technique.

I am going to help fix that.

A series of focused, 1-hour live lessons. We are not looking at specific exam boards; we are looking at the universal, high-value crossover topics that every single exam board tests.

Who is this for? This course is exclusively for students aiming for a Grade 6 or below (whether you are taking Foundation or Higher tier).

Lesson 1: Number - Topics include: reverse percentages, compound interest, standard form, index laws, error intervals, and more.

Lesson 2: - Algebra - Topics include: simultaneous equations, forming/solving equations from shapes, changing the subject, basic quadratics, and more.

Lesson 3: Ratio & proportion - Topics include: complex ratio sharing, direct/inverse proportion, compound measures like speed and density, and more.

Lesson 4: Geometry -  Topics include: Pythagoras, basic trigonometry, compound area/volume, angles in polygons, and more.

Lesson 5: Probability & statistics - Topics include: probability trees, Venn diagrams, averages from tables, scatter graphs, and more.

You get a complete revision system. Every topic includes:

• A 60 minute video lesson: Step-by-step walkthroughs of high-value crossover questions.

• My completed solutions: A clear, downloadable PDF of my fully worked-out answers for your revision notes.

• Targeted practice questions: A follow-up pack of interleaving questions to test your understanding.

Does it matter which exam board I am using? Not at all. The crossover topics covered (like Pythagoras, simultaneous equations, and percentages) are universal. AQA, Edexcel, and OCR all test these exact same concepts in very similar ways.

I am taking the Higher paper, is this too easy for me? If your target is a Grade 6 or below, this is perfect for you. The front half of your Higher paper is made entirely of these crossover topics. If you don't secure these marks, the Grade 6 becomes mathematically impossible.

I am taking the Foundation paper, is this too hard for me? If your target is a Grade 4 or 5, you must be able to answer these questions. They are the hardest questions at the back of your paper, and they are the exact questions that push you over the passing boundary.

Here are a series of videos I made explaing how I would approach these three GCSE maths past papers.

Here I'm trying to explain how I would approach these questions and my thinking when breaking questions down. I'm trying to show students the right approach to take and how to improve their exam technique.
