US school mathematics

About the course

Support for students following a United States mathematics programme, wherever their school is. Lessons connect directly with schoolwork while making room for deeper understanding and challenge.

How lessons work

• Start with the student’s own work

  A homework question, a recent test or a topic from class. We use it to find the specific idea that needs attention, and to tell a conceptual gap from an algebra slip.

• Connect the ideas

  Link algebra, graphs and geometry, explain why a method follows from the idea underneath it, and practise a few carefully chosen problems until the method is secure.

• Build independence

  Return to earlier ideas before they fade, preview what is coming next, and ask the student to explain the following step themselves.

Who it is for

For students who want steady course support, a stronger foundation, or more stretch than routine exercises give them.
