Description
Programme 2: GCSE to A Level Maths Ready Programme ONLINE VIA ZOOM
For students who have finished GCSE and are starting A Level Maths in September.
A focused summer bridge programme for students starting A Level Maths who want to feel prepared for the jump.
The jump from GCSE to A Level Maths can feel huge! I can help you reinforce the key skills that you will need at Key Stage 5 whilst also giving you are sneak peek at what is coming up! I certainly do not intend to cover the full course in these sessions, but you will feel confident and prepared for the year ahead.
