.Testimonials.

Whilst I am only too happy to try and assist with last minute cramming for an exam, it is usually much better to support students' work over a longer period. This avoids a last-minute panic and provides time to address any weaknesses in a meaningful way. I have found some students to have fundamental arithmetic weaknesses which have undermined all their subsequent efforts and these weaknesses take time to sort out.

CRB checking

I am not CRB checked because it is not possible for an individual to request such a check. See:

http://www.crb.gov.uk/using_the_website/application_process.aspx#whocan

but I am perfectly willing to undergo the process
if you are able to request it. When the new Independent Safeguarding Authority is phased in I shall be applying for registration (sometime in 2010).

Have Maths examinations got easier? Back in the 1960’s, when I took my exams, Maths was probably the most feared of all GCE ’O’ Levels. Here are some example papers from then, compare them with today’s GCSEs and draw your own conclusions.

2006 Papers

Two different sets of papers are shown here. The first is the Cambridge University International GCSE papers. These are generally regarded as harder than the normal GCSE:
