Spring - 5 weeks - £249

Ask Sophie whether this is the right fit.

Sophie Smith, online Maths tutor

There are only a few weeks left before GCSE Maths.

Four to five weeks from late April to the exam period. The course uses short, regular sessions to sharpen exam technique, keep revision moving and build confidence in the final stretch.

This page is designed to help parents quickly understand the problem the course solves, what the student will work on, and whether the format is a good fit.

What your child will achieve

  • Keep Maths revision consistent in the final weeks.
  • Practise past-paper questions little and often.
  • Improve exam timing and question selection.
  • Build confidence before the first paper.

Course overview

The Final Push Programme is built for the point where students know the exams are close and need consistent, focused practice.

It complements the Easter Intensive rather than repeating it. Easter builds the revision base; Final Push keeps momentum high and targets exam technique, past papers and confidence in the final month.

How the course works

This is planned as a live online course with structured teaching, guided practice and clear follow-up work between sessions.

Each week your child gets

  • 15 sessions across 5 weeks.
  • Typical live session length: 45 minutes.
  • Targeted worksheets and exam-style practice.
  • Clear follow-up actions after each session.

Each week you get

  • A clear view of what the course is covering.
  • Guidance on how to support practice at home.
  • A route to ask Sophie questions before enrolling.

Exact weekly time commitment will be confirmed for each cohort.

The course breakdown

The final cohort curriculum can be adjusted around the students enrolled, but the structure is built to move from diagnosis into targeted practice and confidence.

Week 1 - Diagnostic and priorities

Students identify the highest-value gaps and build a clear plan for the rest of the course.

Early sessions - Core skills

Lessons focus on the essential GCSE Maths skills students need for this stage.

Middle sessions - Exam-style practice

Students move from guided examples into structured exam-style questions, with feedback and correction.

Final sessions - Confidence and next steps

The course closes with consolidation, exam technique and a clear plan for what to do next.

About Sophie

I'm Sophie. I have a BSc in Mathematics from the University of Exeter and a PGCE in Mathematics from the University of York. I'm a fully qualified teacher with QTS, and I spent five years teaching maths in schools before moving into full-time online tutoring in 2022.

Across school teaching and tutoring, I've worked with students from Year 6 to Year 13 across Edexcel, AQA, OCR and Cambridge IGCSE. I teach Foundation, Higher, IGCSE, IGCSE Further Maths and A-Level.

The work I find most meaningful is helping students who have been told, directly or indirectly, that they are just not maths people. They usually are. They have normally missed a key idea, lost confidence, or never had someone explain it in a way that clicked.

What parents and students say

My daughter took lessons with Sophie for 3 months in preparation for her GCSE maths retake. Her grade went up from a 4 to a 5, and in the end she was only a couple of points off a six. She would never have achieved that without Sophie's help. She also really enjoyed the sessions, Sophie was friendly and professional at all times.
Parent GCSE resit student
Sophie has given my grandson the confidence he needed. She has found ways to explain things that he did not get the chance to do at school. She has a lovely friendly approach, takes the time, and is happy to reiterate ways to solve problems.
Grandparent GCSE student
Sophie tutored our son to help him achieve a grade 5 at GCSE. Throughout his lessons, she was patient, supportive and professional. Sophie tailored the sessions to suit our son and he achieved the result he needed.
Parent GCSE student
For the first time, I started to look forward to Maths lessons. Sophie is a wonderful teacher, kind and understanding. She encourages me to improve but also makes me feel that it is absolutely okay to make mistakes.
