Struggling with A level maths

[ImNotReallyHere]

DS is Year 12 and is struggling with A level maths. Has found both the subject and the long periods of home learning hard whilst starting a new college. I have just received an email from his teacher to say that if he continues as he is, at best he will get an E.

He has his heart set on a course (non maths related) at Uni. Any ideas what we can do to help him? We have hired a tutor but is only 1 hour a week and he won’t work in the summer. Are there any online resources? Any summer residentials? Any advice?

@ImNotReallyHere Ds is in year 13 and an A* in maths, he recommends alevelmathsrevision.com/maths-categorised-exam-questions/ because it has the video explanation of each concept. It is under the expansion labels of pure, stats, mechanics, all.

Your son can pull this round, he just needs a plan of action for the summer and needs to commit to it. Is there any other student he can buddy up with from sixth form? Ds did peer teaching and he said that helped cement it all in his mind.

Re tutors, what about an online tutor? But see if he stays motivated with the above link.

I turned round an E is chemistry to a B between December and the exams in May, so it can be done.
Find a tutor that can work this summer, as you don’t want him to fall further behind next year.

I’m assuming that he is basically capable of doing it, it that his other A levels are reasonably difficult ones and he is doing ok? My school did let people enroll who should never have been doing A level maths in the first place (not in any way trying to be goady, just checking)
