Our First Course Launch

Eight-Week GCSE & IGCSE Maths Courses

Free introduction week begins

Focused teaching. Purposeful practice. Clear goals.

Our first four focused courses support Edexcel IGCSE and AQA or Edexcel GCSE Higher students. Build Year 10 algebra foundations or work towards Grades 7, 8 and 9, with one clear focus each week.

Free Introduction Week

One Shared Start. Four Course Pathways.

Two free live lessons explore repeated percentage change and reverse repeated percentage change: shared mathematical content relevant to all four groups. Learn to use multipliers, connect changes over several stages and work backwards to find an original value.

Student Lesson 1

Repeated percentage change


3:00–4:15 pm

Student Lesson 2

Reverse repeated percentage change


5:00–6:15 pm

For Parents

Course information and questions


12:00–1:00 pm

All times are Dubai time. After the free introduction week, students join separate eight-week paid courses tailored to their chosen pathway and target level.

How It Works

A Clear Weekly Rhythm.

Learn on Saturday

Clear explanations, carefully modelled solutions and guided practice introduce the weekly focus.

Apply on Sunday

Complete a short task between lessons, then tackle deeper problems, discuss methods and act on feedback.

Practise during the week

Complete independent practice, submit written working and use optional drop-in support to address questions.

Measure your progress. A short diagnostic helps identify your starting point. After the final teaching session, complete an end-of-course test and receive feedback on your strengths, areas for improvement and next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which course should I choose?

Choose according to your examination board, current understanding and goals. Grade 8 Accelerated develops demanding IGCSE algebra; Grade 9 Targeted Support focuses on indices, sequences, functions and probability; Year 10 Head Start builds algebra foundations. GCSE Number Essentials supports AQA and Edexcel Higher students aiming for Grade 7 or above. A short diagnostic before the paid course helps check suitability and identify gaps.

Which examination boards do the courses cover?

The three IGCSE courses cover Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Mathematics A (4MA1), Higher Tier, on the linear pathway. GCSE Number Essentials covers AQA GCSE Mathematics (8300) and Pearson Edexcel GCSE Mathematics (1MA1), Higher Tier.

Is the introduction week free?

Yes. The two shared student lessons on 1 and 5 November 2026 and the parent question-and-answer session on 7 November are free. The student lessons cover mathematical skills that overlap across all four groups. They are followed by separate eight-week paid courses, with outlines shared here. Paid-course start dates, Sunday lesson times and fees will be confirmed before enrolment.

How are lessons delivered?

Lessons are taught live online, with two 75-minute lessons each week: Saturday for teaching and guided practice, and Sunday for deeper problems and feedback. Practice tasks and supporting resources are shared through Google Classroom. All advertised times are Dubai time.

What work is expected between lessons?

Students complete a short task between Saturday and Sunday, then independent practice during the week. They should submit written working when requested and act on feedback. Optional drop-in support is available on Wednesday for IGCSE students and Thursday for GCSE students.

Is there an end-of-course test?

Yes. After the final teaching session, students complete a test covering the eight-week course under agreed conditions. Feedback identifies strengths, areas for improvement and recommended next steps.

What equipment will students need?

A reliable internet connection, a computer or suitable tablet, access to Google Classroom, a mathematics notebook, writing materials and a scientific calculator suitable for their qualification.
