What to expect when learning with Matherati courses?
Core courses are 3-year courses where we learn actively for 3 weeks each month from September to June. They're paced perfectly to offer plenty of time for a break or for further revision between modules.
Choose from Foundation or Higher tier maths courses - perfect for both iGCSE (especially Edexcel Spec A) and all major GCSE exam boards (especially Edexcel, AQA and OCR).
Why choose combined learning for GCSE and iGCSE? (See FAQ below)
- Weekly live lessons (50 mins) where we solve specific maths problems
- Maximum of 4 students in each class - we'll become a great and unstoppable team together
- Video theory with full topic explanations - watch at your own pace and revise whenever you need
- Recorded lessons so you'll never miss anything - nothing will get between you and your maths progress
- Online textbook, access to interactive revision practice and plenty of additional resources - work as little or as much as you need
- A friendly and fun learning environment where we learn not only maths but also how to learn efficiently, how to work as a team and find the answer to the question "what is maths good for in real life?"
- Access to all online resources during summer (Jul-Aug) when you book September before the end of June.
Pay with simple monthly payments of £75.
Our GCSE and iGCSE maths learning plans
Timetable for maths courses starting September 2024:
Not quite ready for the core courses? Joining us later in the year?
No problem. We run extra lessons and programs where you can work with us and try out our learning plan before making a decision together about the best place for you in one of our core courses.
Get in touch to find out more.
Additional courses
Besides the core courses, we offer also these further options:
FastTrack - a shorter course for those who want to learn maths our way but want to take their exams next summer. Each student will be advised on the structure of this fast-paced course before enrollment to make sure it's the right choice for them.
In May, FastTrack courses open for students who want to sit the exams the following summer (typically Y10 students).
FastTrack courses work the same way as core courses, only over a shorter period of time (see above). Modules and the learning plan are not given, only recommended. Each week, students are expected to choose the video theory and practice work they need, then ask questions in the live lessons (topics may vary depending on students' needs).
Self-paced learning is an option for those who only want to access the video theory. You'll be further advised on the best resources for you and you'll be given a learning plan which you can follow (but don't have to).
- 1 optional monthly drop-in live lesson (Sep-Jun) where we look at the most common maths problems
- Video theory with a full topic explanation - watch at your own pace and revise whenever you need
- Suggested learning plan which you can follow or adjust to your needs (you can also create your own plan)
Pay with simple monthly payments of £20 with an easy option to cancel or pause.
Our A level maths groups supplement a typical full course learnt at college (self-learners are welcome too) and aim to cover additional questions, bridge any knowledge gaps from GCSE to A level, build confidence and nurture the ability for efficient independent learning.
Prices and lesson length depend on the number of students in the group. Enquire to find out more.

FAQ
Why choose combined learning for GCSE and iGCSE maths?
We look at maths holistically and also teach it this way. Differences between exams are mentioned throughout the course and students can choose to either focus just on "their" parts or embrace additional work to enhance their maths learning.
GCSE students may benefit from different perspectives on some topics and go beyond their syllabus. This is very useful if they'd like to take their maths studies further.
IGCSE students may benefit from techniques focused on mental arithmetic without relying on a calculator at all costs. This is especially useful for everyday life.
Occasionally students may want to decide later which exam they want to take. Keeping their options open is a win-win.
Won't students get confused if they'll be learning different topics at different times in school and in the course?
In theory, for students who attend school, this may be a bit confusing. It depends on the student's preferences, goals and how they get on with maths at school - whether they want and need additional help.
All maths topics are connected, so learning one topic helps with others as well. It may often come in handy at unexpected times. The overall benefits of how we approach maths learning are bigger than any possible misalignment with the student's studies at school.
If students would prefer to keep up with their school maths, the self-paced option (see above) can also be a great choice.
Who are these courses good for?
Core courses with Matherati are great for both home educated students and students in schools who want the best preparation possible for their exams.
Can we join only for some modules?
We run extra lessons where you can join us on ad-hoc basis. But it is always more fun to build the team spirit together with other students over a longer period of time.
We'd like to take exams sooner, can we still enrol?
Yes, that is possible. Please book a call with Veronika and you can discuss the best options together. Combining two years is possible so you may be offered a suitable plan to make sure you won't miss anything on your maths learning journey.
