1. Make Maths the Priority

Maths underpins all STEM subjects. Struggling with equations? Mechanics? Graphing? These are all skills that show up in science, computing, and beyond. Focus on building understanding from first principles — not just memorising steps.

Local tip: Many schools in Farnborough and Aldershot follow the AQA or Edexcel syllabus. Knowing what your school uses makes a big difference when revising.

2. Use Online Tools with Real Impact

There are hundreds of resources out there, but few cut through the noise. Stick with trusted ones like:

• Physics & Maths Tutor
• Corbett Maths
• Seneca Learning

Set up short, regular sessions — not long cram nights.

3. Get Local, Personalised Support

Every student learns differently. That’s why one-to-one tutoring remains one of the most effective ways to improve grades and confidence — especially for key topics like algebra, forces, and exam technique.

At First Principles Tutoring, based in Farnborough, we offer online GCSE and A-Level Maths & Physics support — tailored to your child’s goals and exam board.

4. Make STEM Visible Outside the Classroom

Watch science documentaries. Visit local STEM attractions like:

• Farnborough Air Sciences Trust Museum
• Winchester Science Centre
• Brooklands Museum (Weybridge)

Even weekend activities like coding clubs or drone kits can spark long-term interest.

5. Start Early, Stay Consistent

The earlier students build confidence in STEM, the easier GCSE and A-Levels become. Don't wait for mock exam panic — small weekly improvements now = big results later.
