Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about GCSE Maths Foundation tutoring at StudyGuru.

What grades can my child achieve with Foundation tier GCSE Maths?
Foundation tier GCSE Maths allows students to achieve grades 1-5. The highest grade available is grade 5, which is considered a 'strong pass'. Our tutors specialise in helping students maximise their potential within Foundation tier.
Can your tutors help my child move from Foundation to Higher tier?
Yes! If your child is on the boundary, our tutors can assess whether moving to Higher tier is realistic and beneficial. They'll help fill knowledge gaps and build the skills needed for Higher tier content.
My child lacks confidence in maths. Can tutoring help?
Absolutely. Many of our Foundation tier students start with low confidence. Our tutors specialise in building confidence through patient, encouraging teaching. We focus on celebrating progress and filling knowledge gaps systematically.
What topics are covered in GCSE Maths Foundation tier?
Foundation tier covers Number, Algebra, Ratio & Proportion, Geometry & Measures, Probability, and Statistics. The questions are designed to be accessible, focusing on core skills and understanding rather than complex problem-solving.
How is Foundation tier different from Higher tier?
Foundation tier has simpler questions and doesn't include the most advanced topics. It's designed for students aiming for grades 1-5. Our tutors can help you decide which tier is right for your child and prepare them accordingly.
