Students can tend to revise whatever feels comfortable.

This takes five minutes and shows them where their time is best spent.

Get your child to write down every topic on the paper (if they are unsure what topics may appear, their teacher should be able to give them an idea). Then colour each one: green if they're confident, amber if it's shaky, red if they can't do it yet.

Start with the reds. Be honest, because a red isn't a failure, it's just a gap that's now been spotted. Once the reds are moving to amber, work on the ambers, and the greens only need a quick refresh.

This is something we use in my Year 10 groups - more on that next week.

Yes, they are. But not because of the grade.

A mock is the clearest picture you'll get of where the gaps are.

Every question that lost marks points to a topic that never fully stuck. That's useful, because gaps are fixable, and the earlier you spot them, the more time there is to fix them properly instead of finding out in the real exam.

So don't just look at the grade. Look at where the marks went. That's the thinking behind the exam papers in my Year 10 groups.

I didn't walk into the gym lifting this. It built up slowly, week after week.

Learning maths works exactly the same way. You don't add weight until the technique underneath is solid - rush that, and you get injured, or you plateau.

It's the same with maths. You don't move a child onto harder topics until the foundation underneath is properly locked in. Solid technique first, then you build the load gradually.

That's not slow progress. That's how real, lasting progress actually happens.

Want your child to build their maths confidence the same way - properly, from the ground up? Comment "CONFIDENCE" and I'll send you the details for my Year 10 Foundation groups.

"He was understanding and gave praise and made my daughter feel more comfortable and more confident in her work." 🙌

This is the bit that matters most to me - not just catching a student up, but helping them actually feel confident enough to use what they've learned.

Every student is different, so the first step is always the same: find out exactly where the gaps are, and find the way of explaining things that actually clicks for them. Once that's in place, confidence follows.

If you'd like your child to experience this kind of support in a Year 10 Foundation group, comment "YEAR 10" and I'll send you the details.

A big worry a lot of parents hold: is it too late for their child to catch up in maths before their GCSEs?

Here's the honest answer - it's genuinely never too late to make real progress. I've seen students turn things around even close to their exams.

But I'll always say the same thing to every parent: start earlier rather than later. The earlier we begin, the more time there is to build proper foundations, not just cram content. It's the difference between real confidence and just getting by.

Wondering if now's the right time to start? Comment "CONFIDENCE" and I'll send you the details for my Year 10 Foundation groups.
