Learn GCSE Maths from a qualified teacher with five years in the classroom.
Mr M Adan is a qualified teacher who has taught Maths in the classroom for five years, and still teaches GCSE in school every week. He trained as an engineer first, so he teaches why each method works, not just what to write. He finds the step that’s been holding you back and turns it into marks.

Mr M Adan is a qualified teacher who has taught Maths in the classroom for five years. Before teaching, he trained as an engineer, so he learned maths by using it. Now he helps GCSE students turn shaky foundations into a method they can trust.
I am looking for students who have decided they are ‘not a maths person’. Nine times out of ten, one step got missed and everything after it stopped making sense. Find that step, and Maths starts working again.
Who Mr M Adan is looking for
“I’m just not a maths person.”
I hear that a lot, and nine times out of ten it isn’t true. Usually one step got missed years ago, such as fractions, negative numbers or rearranging an equation, and in a busy classroom there’s rarely time to go back and find it.
I’m a classroom teacher too, so I understand why. Your teacher has a full GCSE course to finish and a full class to teach. When most of the room is ready to move on, the lesson has to move on. Going back to fill a gap, or sitting down to practise a whole paper together, is usually the first thing to get squeezed out.
That practice matters more than most students realise. This summer, a grade 9 on the Pearson Edexcel Higher tier needed 208 marks out of 240, leaving room to drop just 32 marks across all three papers. Whether you’re aiming for a 4 or a 9, your grade comes down to careful method on real exam questions, and that takes practice time.
That’s what my GCSE Maths programme is for. We meet for two live lessons a week in a small group, working alongside your school lessons. We cover the full course, find any missing steps and rebuild them calmly, then practise on real Pearson Edexcel GCSE questions every time. I trained as an engineer, so I’ll show you why each method works, not just what to write. I’ll also show you how to set out your working so you collect every method mark available. Every lesson is recorded, so nothing is ever lost if you miss something.
Your teacher at school builds the foundations, and I’ll help you turn them into marks. You’ll never be made to feel silly for asking a question. Bring me the topic you dread most. By the summer, I want you to trust your own method.
