Higher Further Maths tutors
15 UK tutors who teach Further Maths at Higher. £30–£150/hr · median £50
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.
Scottish Higher is the standard Scottish sixth-year qualification, sat in S5 (age 16-17), and is the main route into Scottish university applications (which run on a different cycle from English UCAS). Most students take five Highers in S5, with strong applicants sitting another year of Advanced Highers in S6. The qualification is administered by the SQA (now Qualifications Scotland), with coursework and examination components. Tutoring helps most with subject content, with the coursework write-ups, and with exam-paper technique under SQA mark schemes. Match the tutor to SQA experience specifically.
