Foundation Mathematics Tuition (Years 8–11)
Foundation Maths is a focused support programme for students in Years 6 to 11 who need to strengthen their core skills and build confidence in maths. It encourages logical reasoning, develops mathematical fluency, and supports problem-solving through clear, step-by-step learning. By identifying and addressing learning gaps early, students can overcome barriers and progress with confidence toward their GCSE goals.
At Pass11+, we believe every student deserves to feel confident in maths, not confused or left behind. Foundation Maths provides a structured and supportive environment where learners can rebuild their confidence, close knowledge gaps, and develop essential skills at their own pace. It’s not just about catching up; it’s about helping students feel capable, motivated, and ready to take on the challenges ahead.
Our tuition programme is carefully aligned with the National Curriculum and designed to support students working towards the GCSE Foundation tier. It focuses on strengthening essential core skills, closing gaps in understanding, and building mathematical fluency. Through targeted problem-solving practice and exam preparation techniques, we help your child gain confidence and develop the skills needed to succeed at their own pace.

Success Stories
“I have a lot of fun in Sir's tuition. I have learnt a lot and so has my older sister. My older sister is in Sir's Secondary GCSE Preparation class. Now when I am stuck on my homework, she helps me. Sir is really funny but sometimes strict. He is just so funny, like when he pretends and makes funny sounds.”

“My daughter is in school and I am trying to find a tutor, but it's not easy. All the tutors are expensive and have long waiting lists. Then I found Pass 11 Plus Grammar. They're good at what they do, so my daughter has finally found a tutor who doesn't charge an arm or a leg and still offers the best quality service on offer.”

“To be honest, it was quite an ordeal to find a tutoring service I can trust. My son is dyslexic and has severe learning difficulties, so finding the right tutor is difficult. But I found this amazing service called Pass 11 Plus Grammar that has been amazing for my child... he loves his tutor very much and is making huge progress!”
