Confirm the route
We confirm syllabus 9231, the exam series, AS or A-level, and the applied option. Everything else depends on this.
Further Mathematics 9231
At AS Level, your child takes Further Pure Mathematics 1 plus either Further Mechanics or Further Probability & Statistics. The full A-level adds Further Pure Mathematics 2 and includes all four papers. We tutor 9231 to the exact route their centre has entered - not Further Mathematics in general.
A simple four-step approach designed to build confidence, close gaps and improve exam performance.
We confirm syllabus 9231, the exam series, AS or A-level, and the applied option. Everything else depends on this.
A diagnostic across pure mathematics and the chosen applied component shows what is secure and where marks are being lost.
The same tutor teaches each week around school. Concepts build step by step, with the school's pace kept in view.
Structured questions begin early, followed by mixed and timed papers reviewed against Cambridge mark schemes.
Expert, vetted Cambridge International Further Mathematics tutors who know the 9231 syllabus and its AS and A-level routes. Past-paper work is reviewed against published mark schemes, so your child can see where marks are awarded and where they are being lost. UK-qualified teachers are available on request as a premium option.
Not 'A-level Further Mathematics in general' - this syllabus, this route and these papers.
Your child learns where the marks actually are, not where they feel they should be.
Shared whiteboard, worked solutions and lesson materials saved to review after the session.
The same tutor every week - and if that changes, we tell you first.
Cambridge 9231 has four externally marked written papers. AS candidates take Further Pure Mathematics 1 with either Further Mechanics or Further Probability & Statistics. A-level candidates take all four papers.

2026 - 2027Syllabus for 2026-2027. AS candidates take Paper 1 with either Paper 3 or Paper 4; A-level candidates take all four papers.
These are the main syllabus strands your child is expected to cover. We teach the exact AS or A-level route, starting with the gaps that are costing marks first.
Tuition stays aligned to the paper structure, so revision time goes where the marks actually move.

At AS Level, candidates take Paper 1 with either Paper 3 or Paper 4. For the full A-level, candidates take all four papers.
Yes. We confirm syllabus 9231, AS or A-level, the exam series and the applied route before tuition starts.
AS Level is assessed through two papers. The full A-level includes Further Pure Mathematics 1 and 2, Further Mechanics and Further Probability & Statistics across four papers.
Cambridge expects candidates to have studied the majority of the Mathematics 9709 syllabus. The applied components also rely on the corresponding mechanics or probability and statistics content from 9709.
A scientific calculator is allowed. Graphical calculators and calculators with symbolic algebra or symbolic differentiation and integration are not permitted. The MF19 formulae and statistical tables booklet is provided.
Cambridge states that unsupported calculator answers receive no marks. Clear working protects method marks and makes errors easier to find.
No. All four components are externally assessed written examinations, and all questions are compulsory.
Yes. Weekly lessons can follow the school's current topic while keeping a separate plan for syllabus gaps, mixed questions and timed papers.
