GCSE results 2024: GCSE grades have fallen again
​
​
The GCSE pass rate across England, Wales and Northern Ireland has fallen for a third year running.
​
With 67.6% of all grades at 4/C or above, down from 68.2% last year, that overall pass rate has now returned to 2019 levels - the last year exams were sat before Covid.
​
And it is far below that of 2020 and 2021, when exams were cancelled and results based on teachers’ assessments.

Record number of students took A-level maths in 2024 – but they hide a worrying decline
​
​
On August 15 2024, over 107,400 young people in the UK nervously scanned their results, looking for their grade in A-level mathematics. It is the first time more than 100,000 people have taken any A-level subject in a single year.
​
Maths has been the top A-level choice for a while, but in 2024 it’s up by 11%. There are a few reasons why this might be, and part of it may be down to students’ greater confidence in their own abilities.
​
Yet there are actually fewer students studying for any maths qualification after GCSE than a few years ago. So it’s possible that even more young people would like to study maths.

Individualized,
Customized ​Learning
​Plans
Over the years, I have developed a comprehensive database of high-quality teaching resources, including worksheets, past papers, specialised software, and materials aligned with the latest GCSE and A-Level specifications. This extensive collection allows me to tailor lessons to each student’s individual needs, ensuring targeted support and effective preparation for exams.
Face to Face or
Online Sessions
I offer personalised one-to-one tutoring, available either in person at my home or online.
For online lessons, I use the BitPaper platform alongside Google Classroom to provide an interactive and well-structured learning environment. I also integrate Geogebra as a visual tool to help students engage with mathematical concepts, making abstract ideas clearer and more accessible.

Approaches to Learning
During the first session, I take the time to understand the student’s individual needs, learning style, and current level of knowledge. From there, I create a personalised plan of support, which may include help with homework, strengthening core understanding, and focused preparation for tests and exams.
I believe communication with parents is key, so I provide regular progress updates to ensure they are fully informed and reassured about their child’s development.
University Entrance
Exam Preparation:
STEP, MAT and TMUA
Many leading universities require applicants to mathematics-related degree courses to sit additional admissions tests. These assessments are designed to evaluate mathematical reasoning, problem-solving ability, and depth of understanding beyond the standard A-level curriculum. They are typically used alongside A-level results (or equivalent qualifications) and may form part of a conditional offer, or in some cases, allow for a reduced UCAS points requirement.
The most common admissions tests include:
-
MAT (Mathematics Admissions Test) – used by Oxford and Imperial College London.
-
STEP (Sixth Term Examination Paper) – used by Cambridge, Warwick, and some other universities.
-
TMUA (Test of Mathematics for University Admission) – accepted by several universities, including Durham and Lancaster.
Students' Reviews
​
Adam Onoszko
Having been Marius' tutee for over five years, I can say with great confidence that he is a wonderful maths tutor, with an extremely deep understanding of all the topics he teaches and the ability to make his lessons very engaging. With his help, I was able to achieve both an 8 at GCSE level and an A in A-level maths. Would highly recommend.
​
Margo Bilozerova
I really could not recommend a tutor more, Marius is the only reason I got an A* in further maths - he really pushed me to do my best and really believed in me. Unlike the teachers at school, instead of just showing a formula he explained where it came from and how to get it, which really helped me get a deeper understanding of certain topics. Truly goes above and beyond to help his students and if you are looking for the best then that’s him .

Signalling the value of studying Level 3 mathematics to those considering quantitative subjects at university
​
There is a strong case for increasing the mathematical and quantitative skills of young people, not only as future entrants to the labour market, to satisfy the demands of an increasingly technological economy, but more generally to make sound decisions in life and to engage in society. It has been argued that a level of numerical skills is a necessary element of citizenship, to understand public debate and potentially challenge arguments which are based on quantitative evidence.3 Individuals’ interactions with the modern world around them are increasingly digital, and mathematical and quantitative skills form part of the foundation for understanding how this digital world works and citizens interact with it and with each other. Without such understanding, individuals risk being excluded from active citizenship or reduced to passive consumers of services, as they are unable to think critically about their interactions with the digital world.

Subject choices at school and college:
​
Some advanced level subjects are more frequently required for entry to degree courses than others. We call these subjects ‘facilitating’ because choosing them at advanced level leaves open a wide range of options for university study. These facilitating subjects are:
-
Maths and further maths
-
Biology
-
Chemistry
-
English literature
-
Geography
-
History
-
Physics
-
Modern and classical languages

A-level results: Students need just 55 per cent in maths exam for A grade
Students scoring just over half marks in A-level maths will be rewarded with an A grade this summer, leaked documents show.
Grade boundaries for Edexcel‘s maths A-level show students who gained 165 out of a possible maximum of 300 marks (55 per cent) will be awarded an A.
Separate documents show that those who took the OCR exam board’s A-level maths qualification will walk away with an A if they achieved 54 per cent across all papers – a total of 161 out of 300.
