Core Maths tutors

14 UK tutors who teach Core Maths. £15–£150/hr · median £48

Core Maths is a Level 3 sixth-form qualification for students who passed GCSE Maths at grade 4 or higher but aren't taking A-level Maths. Size and UCAS tariff match an AS-level. Content focuses on the maths people actually use after school: interpreting data, modelling with exponential growth and decay, financial maths, risk and probability, statistical thinking, problem-solving in context. Four awarding bodies run it under different names: AQA Level 3 Certificate Mathematical Studies (spec 1350) is the largest provider; Pearson Edexcel runs the Level 3 Certificate in Mathematics in Context; OCR runs two MEI variants: Core Maths A (H868) and Core Maths B (H869). Tutoring helps most with the contextual word problems (Core Maths is heavier on real-world modelling than GCSE), with the data-handling components, and with the pre-release material some boards release ahead of the exam. Look for tutors with explicit Core Maths experience. A-level Maths tutors can teach it but the spec emphasis is different.
