Academic

I’m Taiwo, a tutor with ten years of teaching and tutoring experience and a B.Sc. in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from Obafemi Awolowo University. I teach A-level, GCSE and IGCSE students, bringing together subject knowledge, classroom experience and a patient, practical approach to learning.

My subjects include Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English Language and Computer Science. My current GCSE teaching includes AQA Mathematics at Foundation and Higher levels and AQA English Language. My engineering background strengthens my teaching of Mathematics and Physics, while my professional software development experience allows me to connect computing concepts with practical applications.

I plan lessons around what each student needs. Some need to rebuild foundations; others understand the content but struggle to apply it in unfamiliar exam questions. I identify those gaps, explain ideas clearly and guide students towards solving problems independently. In Mathematics, that means understanding why a method works and recognising when to use it. In Science, it means connecting concepts, calculations and experimental evidence. In English, it means moving beyond identifying techniques to developing thoughtful analysis supported by precise examples.

Students can expect structured lessons, personalised homework and detailed feedback. I use past papers and mark schemes to help them understand what questions demand, improve the clarity of their answers and develop effective revision habits. I track difficulties across lessons so that we revisit what needs attention rather than simply move through topics.

I currently work with international learners, including students in the UK and Hong Kong, and understand the importance of adapting explanations to different educational and language backgrounds. I want students to feel comfortable asking questions, willing to attempt challenging work and able to recognise their own progress. My aim is to build secure understanding, greater independence and confident exam preparation.

Teaching provides a unique opportunity to shape lives and influence young people towards a responsible future, hence, my passion for teaching. As one with a passion for Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, I understand that many students face real challenges grasping the concepts of the subjects. Hence, teaching provides me the avenue to tackle this, while also making a contribution; giving back to the society and also challenging myself towards further growth and development. I have taught since my secondary school days; taking more than 800 students in total; at various levels (on a one-on-one basis, in groups and at mass teaching levels). I have also taught at various educational levels (secondary and tertiary) as well as to a diverse range of student ethnic backgrounds with a very high success rate in student comprehension evinced by their later performance. Having gained significant experience teaching this subject, I have a very broad understanding of what is expected of students writing the GCSEs and A-level exams. I have also prepared students for varying exams including the – 11+, 13+, 16+, and curricula - GCSE and A-levels (Edexcel, OCR, AQA), IB (SL and HL) and Scottish National with excellent results from students - most of my students achieving grades 8 and 9. My teaching success rate has been largely due to my deep and vast understanding of the subject matter, coupled with my calm, interesting and engaging manner of communication that makes even an average and uninterested student develop a desire for Maths and Science. I use diverse teaching-aids, web-resources etc. as necessary."

I hold a First Class honours degree in Chemical Engineering and a Masters degree in Advanced Chemical Engineering from the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine. I am also a UK Qualified Teacher with more than 4000 hours teaching/tutoring experience over a period of 15+ years. This has provided me with diverse experience necessary for tutoring different students' backgrounds with evident successes in the exams. I am hoping to be of help and assistance to any student in need.

Why GCSE Further Pure Mathematics needs the right tutor

What makes GCSE Further Pure Mathematics hard

Further Pure Mathematics asks 14 to 16 year olds to work with ideas most students first meet in the sixth form. It assumes the whole of Higher tier International GCSE Mathematics as background, and each paper has only around 11 questions, so individual questions are long, multi-part and can draw on several topics at once. Up to half the marks are for writing clear and accurate mathematical solutions, so a correct answer reached by an unclear route still loses credit.

Other things that make it hard:

  • Logarithms and indices, including change of base and solving exponential equations
  • Calculus beyond International GCSE Mathematics: the product, quotient and chain rules, integration for areas and volumes of revolution, and rates of change
  • The binomial series with rational powers, where the validity condition has to be stated
  • Trigonometry in radians, compound angle formulae and identities used to solve equations
  • Formulae that must be learned because they are not on the formulae sheet

How tutoring changes the outcome

Our Further Pure Mathematics tutors work from Edexcel's own past papers, mark schemes and examiners' reports, so solutions are written out the way examiners award marks. Sessions target where Further Pure Mathematics marks are actually lost:

  • method steps skipped in "show that" and proof-style questions
  • log and index laws misapplied when solving equations
  • calculus questions where the setup, such as the limits or the volume formula, is wrong before any integration begins
  • trigonometric equations with solutions missing from the required range

What you'll learn in GCSE Further Pure Mathematics tutoring

Core skills developed

The Edexcel International specification marks three assessment objectives: knowing the techniques of pure mathematics (30–40%), applying them to problems with no immediate method of solution (20–30%), and writing clear and accurate mathematical solutions (35–50%). The size of that last objective is what sets the subject apart: presentation and rigour are worth more than recall. We work through past-paper questions with all three in mind, so you can see whether marks are going on technique, problem solving or the written solution.

  • Algebraic manipulation: quadratics and the discriminant, algebraic division, the factor and remainder theorems, and inequalities
  • Logarithms, indices and surds, including change of base
  • Arithmetic, geometric and binomial series
  • Differentiation and integration applied to tangents and normals, maxima and minima, kinematics, areas and volumes
  • Vectors, coordinate geometry and trigonometry in radians, in two and three dimensions

How are students assessed

Further Pure Mathematics is assessed entirely by written exams, with no coursework. The qualification is linear: both 2-hour papers are sat in the same series at the end of the course, a calculator is allowed, and a formulae sheet is provided. Each paper can test any part of the specification.

  • Structured algebra and calculus questions: we drill the standard methods until they are quick and accurate, leaving time for the longer questions
  • "Show that" and proof-style questions: we practise writing each step so the working earns full credit for clear and accurate solutions
  • Multi-topic problems: we practise spotting which combination of topics a long question needs before starting to write

What GCSE Further Pure Mathematics topics do we cover?

Ten topics examined in two written papers, Paper 1 and Paper 2, both sat in the same series at the end of the course. Each paper is 2 hours, 100 marks and 50% of the International GCSE, with around 11 questions that can come from any part of the specification. A calculator is allowed and a formulae sheet is provided. The qualification is single tier, targeted at grades 9–4 with a grade 3 allowed, and Pearson's 2026/27 entry information lists the June and November series.

  • 1 Logarithmic functions and indices
  • 2 The quadratic function
  • 3 Identities and inequalities
  • 4 Graphs
  • 5 Series
  • 6 The binomial series
  • 7 Scalar and vector quantities
  • 8 Rectangular Cartesian coordinates
  • 9 Calculus
  • 10 Trigonometry

The specification assumes full knowledge of Higher tier International GCSE Mathematics A, or Mathematics B, and builds directly on it. About 60% of the marks on each paper are targeted at grades 6–9, and the specification lists formulae that students must learn because they are not on the formulae sheet. Sessions on this board run alongside the main Mathematics course, introduce each new topic from first principles and build towards full 2-hour papers.

FAQs

We have answers to your most frequently asked questions. Anything not answered here, please reach out to our team.

Can I sit IGCSE Further Pure Maths as a private candidate?

Yes. Private candidates enter through an exam centre that accepts them, such as a school or a British Council office, rather than directly with the exam board: you register with the centre, pay its fees and sit the exams there. Further Pure Maths is well suited to private candidates because it is assessed only by written papers, with no coursework or practical component. Not every centre offers it, so check that your centre can enter you for 4PM1 before you start the course. See the private candidate guidance from Pearson, Cambridge and the British Council.

What IGCSE Further Pure Maths grade do I need for A-Level?

There is no formal requirement to take Further Pure Maths for A-Level. Each sixth form and college sets its own entry requirements, so check the prospectus of the one you're applying to. As a guide, most sixth forms ask for a grade 7 in IGCSE or GCSE Mathematics for A-Level Mathematics, and often an 8 for Further Mathematics. A grade 7 or above in Further Pure Maths is strong evidence that you are ready for both, and much of the content reappears in the first year of A-Level. If you take Cambridge IGCSE on the A*–G scale, a grade A is broadly equivalent to a 7 and a C to a 4, the points that were aligned when the 9–1 scale was introduced (GOV.UK grading factsheets), so a requirement of grade 6 usually means a strong B. See A-Level Mathematics and A-Level Further Mathematics.

How much does IGCSE Further Pure Maths tutoring cost?

IGCSE Further Pure Maths tutoring with an academic tutor costs from $50 USD (£38) per hour, and packages save 5–15%, which suits weekly lessons alongside IGCSE Mathematics, with extra past paper sessions before the exams. Pay as you go is invoiced after each lesson, with no lock-in contracts. Professional tutors (qualified teachers and examiners) cost from $75 USD (£56) per hour. See pricing.

Late cancellations and no-shows are charged at half the lesson fee. That applies if you cancel less than one hour before the start time, or don't turn up. You can still change a session time whenever you need to, as long as you give your tutor notice.

Who are your IGCSE Further Pure Maths tutors?

Our academic tutors are high-achieving graduates and undergraduates who scored in the top band in Maths themselves, and our professional tutors are qualified teachers or examiners with 5+ years' experience. We accept only the top 5% of applicants. You are matched to a tutor who knows your board, so they can teach the AS-level topics in the specification clearly and mark your working the way an examiner awards method marks. Read more about our GCSE tutors and how we select tutors.

How does IGCSE Further Pure Maths tutoring work?

Lessons are one-to-one and online, with a tutor matched to IGCSE Further Pure Maths, your exam board and your target grade. Each session works on your weakest areas using real Edexcel International GCSE 4PM1 past paper questions. For Further Pure Maths that usually means drilling the standard algebra and calculus methods until they are quick and accurate, writing every step of "show that" questions, and practising long multi-topic questions under time pressure. See how it works or start with the student application.

Is IGCSE Further Pure Maths hard?

Yes. It goes well beyond the Higher tier of IGCSE Mathematics and covers much of the pure content of AS Level, including logarithms, series and the binomial expansion, calculus, trigonometric identities, vectors and coordinate geometry. The papers are long, and many questions combine several topics, so students need fluent algebra before they start. It suits strong mathematicians who want a head start on A-Level Mathematics. Our online IGCSE tutoring focuses on exactly those areas.

How hard is it to get a grade 9 in IGCSE Further Pure Maths?

In June 2026, 13.4% of international candidates achieved a 9 in Edexcel International GCSE Further Pure Mathematics, and 43.5% achieved a 7 or above (provisional figures from Pearson). That is from a strong cohort, because students who take it are usually already secure at the top of the Higher tier in Mathematics. The grade 9 boundary was 90% of the marks in June 2026, so a 9 needs almost faultless algebra and calculus as well as the ability to see which methods a long question needs.

What are the grade boundaries for IGCSE Further Pure Maths?

Grade boundaries are set after each exam series and change every year, so older figures are only a guide. In June 2026, Edexcel International GCSE Further Pure Mathematics set grade 9 at 180 out of 200 (90%), or 175 on the alternative R papers used in some time zones. Grade 4 needed 62 out of 200 (31%), or 56 on the R papers. The qualification is single tier and only grades 9 to 4 are targeted, with a grade 3 allowed, so a mark below the grade 3 boundary (47, or 43 on the R papers) is a U. Source: Pearson International.

Does IGCSE Further Pure Maths have coursework, practicals or a speaking exam?

No. IGCSE Further Pure Maths has no coursework, practical or speaking assessment, so the whole grade comes from the two written papers. Each paper has around 11 questions, many of them long and multi-part, and marks depend on showing clear, accurate working, especially in "show that" questions. See the Edexcel International specification.

How is IGCSE Further Pure Maths assessed?

IGCSE Further Pure Maths is offered only by Edexcel International GCSE, as Further Pure Mathematics 4PM1. It is assessed by two written papers of 2 hours, each worth 100 marks and 50% of the grade, sat in the same June or November series at the end of the course. A calculator is allowed and a formulae sheet is provided, and either paper can test any part of the specification. See the Edexcel International specification.
