Our Vision
Mathskitchen.com is a learning support program designed for Maths learners in years 9, 10 and 11 and any GCSE Maths students. It personalised the learning of students based on their objectives and their strengths and weaknesses.
We are founded and run by experienced teachers and tutors James Willmott and Francis Malone-Lee. Our aim is to make the advantages of one to one tuition widely available through the platform. We know that the best tutors do more than teach, they:
- Provide support at the point it is needed.
- Give you confidence and clarity about where you are in your Maths journey.
- Guide you to your next steps to success.
- Work with you to choose a study path that suits you.
See your progress
Our progress page lets you celebrate everything you've already achieved. Whenever you work on the website you'll see the progress you've made towards the grade you want.
There are some really challenging areas of GCSE Maths, and there seems like an awful lot to cover, so we understand how students can lose confidence in their Maths.
Our clear illustrations of your progress mean that you won’t worry unnecessarily, and you can concentrate on the topics and questions which you have covered which are right for you.
Mapping out your path to success
Our Revisewise engine takes account of your strengths and weaknesses and recommends the right topics for you - not too hard, and not too easy (educationalists call this the 'The Zone of Proximal Development'). By doing this our recommendations allow you to progress more quickly.
You can choose topics which are more stretching, and that’s fine - we will simply guide you - we won't stop you being ambitious!
Quality practice for exam success
Our ‘Daily Workout’ and ‘Recommendations’ features, give you questions on a variety of topics which are right for you. You work out how to solve each or get the support you need to improve.
In school you may not practise 'technique selection' much, but this is exactly the skill you need in exams. In class you almost always know what technique to use, as your teacher just showed it to you!
By using our innovative platform you will practise when and why to apply techniques and improve your problem solving. Working in this way, called “Interleaving” by educationalists, is known to improve your learning.
Putting You in Control
Sometimes you know what you need to study, on other occasions you need our guidance about the steps to take. We put you in control, and we give you the guidance you need.
- Set your own target grade
- Follow our study recommendations
- Learn topics with a video lesson format or straight into questions
- Find topics by grade
- Redo specific questions, or similar examples
We know that, however clever our adaptive learning support program may be, YOU sometimes know best what you should work on. We empower you to make the right decisions.
