Make maths make sense. CCEA GCSE Mathematics taught topic by topic, with the method and the reason behind it, so your child walks into the exam hall ready.
Most schools in Northern Ireland enter pupils for CCEA GCSE Mathematics, so that is the specification we teach to: its units, its tiers, its calculator and non-calculator papers and its grades from A* to G. If your child's school uses Edexcel or AQA instead, tell us at the first conversation and we will work from that specification. Whether a pupil needs to rebuild the foundations or push for the top grades, we work on understanding the method and the reason behind it, then practise it on real exam questions until it is secure.
CCEA, the Northern Ireland board, which almost every local school uses. Edexcel and AQA are covered on request.
Foundation Tier sits unit M1 or M2 with completion test M5 or M6. Higher Tier sits M3 or M4 with M7 or M8. The choice sets the grades available.
A unit paper with a calculator, then a completion test made up of a calculator paper and a non-calculator paper, usually sat in different series.
A* to G, including the C* grade. Units can be resat, and we help families decide the right tier and timing with the school.
Everything CCEA can examine, grouped the way the papers group it. Higher Tier topics are included for pupils aiming at the top grades.
Fantastic tuition from a qualified and caring professional. Sumkids supports each child regardless of their ability, builds knowledge and most of all increases the child's confidence. My child couldn't wait to get each week. Many thanks Corrina.
