  • The problem-solving that separates a 7 from a 9

GCSE Maths rewards solid fundamentals and exam technique — not just getting the answer.

Many students can do the maths in class but lose marks on a worded question or a 5-mark problem because the steps were never made explicit. Dina closes that gap by teaching the why behind each method, then drilling it with exam-style questions until it's automatic. Lessons are matched to your child's exact exam board — AQA, OCR or Edexcel — and their tier. Foundation students focus on securing the grade 4 and 5 topics that earn the most marks; Higher students push into the algebra, trigonometry and proportion topics that separate a 7 from a 9.

Common mistakes we fix

The slips that quietly cost grades

The mistakes Dina sees again and again — and exactly what lessons put right.

  • Writing the answer with no working — losing method marks even when the maths is right.

  • Freezing on worded and multi-step problems because the steps were never made explicit.

  • Mixing up indices and surds, and dropping easy marks on standard form.

  • Running out of time and leaving the high-mark questions at the back blank.

  • Strong on single topics but unable to chain three together in one problem.
