EPQ Further Maths tutors
12 UK tutors who teach Further Maths at EPQ. £30–£175/hr · median £55
Further Maths is taken alongside A-level Maths and is effectively a separate subject: Core Pure plus optional modules in Mechanics, Statistics, Decision, Further Pure or Numerical Methods, depending on board. It's expected for competitive maths, physics, engineering and economics applications, and required for STEP-track Cambridge entries. Tutoring earns its keep on Core Pure (matrices, complex numbers, polar curves, hyperbolic functions) and on whichever optional papers a school can't staff well. Edexcel, AQA, OCR and OCR MEI structure the optional papers differently. Match the tutor to the board and the optional papers the student sits.
The Extended Project Qualification is a Level 3 standalone qualification taken alongside A-levels (typically in Year 12 or Year 13) and is worth half an A-level (up to 28 UCAS points at A*). Students choose their own topic and produce either a 5,000-word dissertation, or an artefact / performance accompanied by a 1,000-word report, plus a production log and a viva-style presentation. AQA's spec (7993) is the largest by a wide margin (~40,000 entries/year in England); Pearson Edexcel (Dissertation P301, Investigation P302, Performance P303, Artefact P304), OCR (H856) and WJEC / Eduqas also offer it. Tutoring on EPQ is closer to academic-research mentoring than subject teaching: research-question scoping, source evaluation and citation discipline, dissertation structure, statistical analysis where relevant, and viva preparation. Look for tutors with degree-level research experience in the project's topic area; subject-specialist A-level tutors don't always cover the dissertation craft well.
