Examination Systems
The qualifications UK students sit

A Level math tutoringIGCSE Mathematics
For students at independent schools entering Pearson Edexcel International GCSE 4MA1 or Cambridge 0580 instead of the domestic GCSE.

Time Zones
When sessions run in UK time
The tutor works from Pakistan Standard Time, four or five hours ahead of the UK depending on British Summer Time. Below are the free diagnostic slots currently published, converted to UK time.
| Tutor time (PKT) | United Kingdom (BST) |
|---|---|
| 2:00 PM | 10:00 AM |
| 3:30 PM | 11:30 AM |
| 5:00 PM | 1:00 PM |
| 6:30 PM | 2:30 PM |
| 8:00 PM | 4:00 PM |
These are the free diagnostic slots currently published for the coming week, converted automatically. The United Kingdom is currently observing daylight saving, so every row shifts by an hour when the clocks change. Recurring weekly lesson times are agreed individually after the diagnostic, and the booking page converts live availability to your own time zone.
How It Is Delivered
How tutoring reaches a student in the UK
Everything is delivered live; nothing is a pre-recorded course.
Live, not pre-recorded
Each session is a live one-to-one lesson on Zoom with a shared pen-tablet whiteboard, so the student watches a full solution take shape line by line.
Booked in UK time
The booking page converts every available slot into UK time and handles the British Summer Time change rather than leaving you to.
Real UK past papers
Practice runs on topical compilations from genuine AQA, Edexcel and OCR papers, with the official mark schemes used in lessons.
Recorded for revision
Every session is archived to the student’s private vault, ready to replay before a mock or the real paper.
Built around the summer series
Plans work back from the May and June examination dates, with timed papers concentrated in the final term.
Fortnightly parent updates
Written reports on topic mastery and mock timings, which is what makes progress visible between school reports.

Questions From UK Families
Frequently asked questions
Do you tutor UK GCSE and A Level maths?
Yes. The 9–1 GCSE subject content is covered across the AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR specifications, at both Foundation and Higher tier, along with A Level Pure Mathematics, Mechanics and Statistics.
What times can UK students book?
Sessions are booked in UK time and the booking page converts every available slot automatically. The free diagnostic slots currently published fall between mid-morning and late afternoon UK time, so the later ones sit at the end of the school day; recurring weekly lesson times are agreed individually after the assessment.
Are you a UK-based tutor?
No. The tutor works from Pakistan and teaches UK students online. That is stated plainly because it affects scheduling, and because you should know it before booking rather than after. What it does not affect is specification knowledge: the 9–1 GCSE and GCE A Level content, mark schemes and examiner reports are the same documents wherever a tutor sits.
Do you follow the English school terms?
Lesson plans are built around the student’s own school calendar and the summer examination series, which for most UK students means the run to May and June. Half terms and holidays are often the most productive time to close a foundational gap.
Can you help with mocks and predicted grades?
Yes, and a recent mock paper is the single most useful thing to bring to the diagnostic. It shows exactly which topics and which behaviours cost marks, which makes the written plan far sharper.
