Dr Khan Tuition teaches A-Level maths and further maths at 36 High Street, Burnham, covering pure maths, statistics and mechanics, matched to your child's exam board. Every student begins with a diagnostic, then follows a personalised weekly plan, with 1-to-1 lessons and online sessions available. To arrange a free 30-minute consultation, call 01753 378222.

BathThe Dr Khan Method
We begin with a diagnostic built on GCSE algebra and early Year 12 topics, so we know whether any gaps come from recall, technique or confidence.
Your child's personalised plan arrives within 48 hours of the consultation. Weekly lessons follow it in a logical order, with pure topics revisited regularly so they stay fresh for the end of Year 13.
We practise reading longer problems, choosing an efficient method, showing enough working to earn method marks and checking each answer against the context of the question.
Parents receive weekly updates on what has been covered and what needs more work, so the plan can change early rather than late.
Weekly lessons in Burnham
Plenty of students who sailed through GCSE maths find the first term of Year 12 a shock. The algebra moves faster, proof appears for the first time, and a single question can fill a whole page. If you've been searching for an A-Level maths tutor near me, our aim is simple: make that step manageable, with secure technique first and then the confidence to tackle problems that don't look like anything in the textbook.
Every session follows a structured plan targeting your child's specific knowledge gaps, not random revision.
Individual 1-to-1 tuition is available. Your child gets real, focused attention, not lost in a classroom of 30.
Parents receive weekly progress updates. You always know exactly where your child stands.
Every board teaches the same content, set by the Department for Education. On every board's papers, roughly two-thirds of the marks are for pure maths and about one-third for applied maths, shared between statistics and mechanics. Everything is examined at the end of Year 13, so topics learnt in the first weeks of Year 12 still need to be sharp nearly two years later.
| Strand | What it covers | Where students often struggle |
|---|---|---|
| Pure maths | Proof, algebra and functions, coordinate geometry, sequences and series, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, differentiation, integration, numerical methods and vectors | Long chains of algebra, choosing an integration method and setting out a proof clearly |
| Statistics | Sampling, presenting and interpreting data, probability, statistical distributions and hypothesis testing, using a large data set | Explaining results in context and knowing the large data set well enough to use it |
| Mechanics | Quantities and units, kinematics, forces and Newton's laws, and moments | Drawing accurate force diagrams and turning a worded situation into equations |
Further maths is a second, separate A-Level. Half of it is a compulsory core of pure maths, with topics such as complex numbers, matrices, further calculus and proof by induction. The rest is made up of optional areas that vary by board, usually drawn from further pure, further statistics, further mechanics and decision maths.
It suits students who enjoy maths for its own sake and are comfortable working at pace, because two maths A-Levels mean a heavier load of practice every week. If your child's sixth form doesn't offer further maths, or offers it with limited lesson time, a further maths tutor can help fill the gap. We'll give you an honest view at the consultation of whether it's a good fit, without promising any particular outcome.
A-Level maths is offered by AQA, Edexcel, OCR A and OCR B (MEI). Before planning anything, we ask which specification your child follows. The core content is shared, but the boards differ in how papers are split, which large data set students study and how questions are phrased, so practice is always matched to the right one.
| Board | Paper 1 | Paper 2 | Paper 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AQA | Pure | Pure and mechanics | Pure and statistics |
| Edexcel | Pure 1 | Pure 2 | Statistics and mechanics |
| OCR A | Pure | Pure and statistics | Pure and mechanics |
| OCR B (MEI) | Pure and mechanics | Pure and statistics | Pure and comprehension |
Every paper lasts two hours. All three papers count equally, except OCR B (MEI), where the third paper carries fewer marks.
Three things tend to catch new sixth-formers out. First, algebra has to become automatic: factorising, rearranging and working with indices and surds come up in almost every question. Second, proof asks students to explain why something is always true, not just show that it works once. Third, the statistics papers expect students to know their board's large data set and to comment on results in context.
Students moving up from our GCSE maths tuition often use the summer after Year 11 to tighten their algebra before term starts. Those who took AQA's Level 2 Certificate in Further Maths or OCR's Level 3 Additional Maths will recognise some topics, which is useful preparation rather than a requirement.
Dr Khan founded the centre, and sessions with him can be booked depending on availability. Other students are taught by our wider team of tutors, all trained in Dr Khan's method. There's no minimum contract, although we recommend a full term so the plan has time to work.
Some maths, economics and computer science courses ask applicants to sit the TMUA, the Test of Mathematics for University Admission. Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial, LSE, UCL, Warwick and Durham use it for some courses, so it's worth checking each course page early in Year 12. Our TMUA preparation page explains the test, the dates and how we help. Students taking physics or chemistry as well can read about the maths inside those subjects on our A-Level science tuition page.
Our centre sits a short walk from Burnham Grammar School (0.3 miles), which has its own sixth form. Herschel Grammar is about 2.3 miles away, and other local secondaries, including Beechwood School (1.5 miles) and The Westgate School (2.0 miles), are within easy reach too. We mention these schools as neighbours only; we're an independent centre with no link to any of them.
By road, Britwell is about 1.8 miles from us, Cippenham about 2.3, Taplow about 2.7 and Maidenhead about 3.9, while Slough-side families are around 3.5 road miles away. If you're looking for an A-Level maths tutor in person near me, rather than online-only help, our High Street centre offers face-to-face lessons each week.
Our A-Level tuition page covers every sixth-form subject we teach, 1-to-1 tuition explains individual lessons, and the Dr Khan Tuition homepage has everything else.
