Get your child ready for AS Further Maths.
Live, one-to-one sessions with a specialist tutor, matched to the Cambridge AS Level Further Mathematics syllabus and your child's target grade.
Cambridge AS Further Maths: what parents should know.
Cambridge AS Level Further Mathematics is a rigorous extension of AS Mathematics, assessed by CAIE. It suits students aiming for top university courses in mathematics, physics, or engineering.
AS Further Mathematics is an advanced Cambridge qualification taken alongside or after AS Mathematics. It extends pure maths and introduces mechanics and statistics at a higher level, building the analytical skills universities look for.
CAIE grades AS Level Further Mathematics on an A to E scale, with A being the highest pass. Assessment is entirely examination-based, with no coursework component, making exam technique and mark-scheme familiarity essential.
Cambridge AS Level Further Mathematics exams are sat in the May/June and October/November series each year. Most students in the GCC sit the May/June series, so preparation typically begins six to twelve months in advance.
A group class cannot do this.
Lessons built around the gaps
Your tutor identifies exactly which Further Maths topics are holding your child's grade back and builds every lesson around closing those gaps first.
Real past-paper technique
Students work through timed CAIE past papers with mark-scheme commentary so they know precisely how to pick up every available mark.
Parents kept in the loop
A tutor note and progress report arrive after every session, so parents always know what was covered and what comes next.
The qualification that separates good mathematicians from exceptional ones.
Cambridge AS Level Further Mathematics is set by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE). It extends AS Mathematics with harder pure content, mechanics, and statistics, and is designed for students who excel at the subject.
Assessment is fully exam-based, graded A to E, with no coursework. The qualification is typically sat across two or three papers covering pure mathematics, mechanics, and statistics, with each paper carrying its own mark scheme.
Lessons follow the exact CAIE AS Further Mathematics syllabus (9231), so every topic practised in a session maps directly to a real exam question. Nothing taught drifts from what the Cambridge mark scheme rewards.
What a one-to-one AS Further Maths lesson actually looks like.
Every session follows a tested four-phase structure: recap, teach, apply, review. Each phase has a clear purpose, and nothing is skipped.

- 0-5 min
Recap and quick diagnostic
The tutor opens with two or three targeted questions from the previous session to check retention and pinpoint any confusion before moving forward.
Example: Quick verbal check on proof by induction for divisibility โ identifying where the student's reasoning breaks down at the inductive step.
- 5-25 min
Teach the target topic
The tutor introduces or deepens the session's core concept using worked examples on a shared whiteboard, pausing regularly to check understanding.
Example: Teaching polar coordinates (CAIE 9231 Pure unit) โ converting between polar and Cartesian forms, then sketching curves such as r = a(1 + cos ฮธ).
- 25-50 min
Apply it to past-paper questions
The student works through real CAIE past-paper questions under timed conditions, with the tutor annotating the mark scheme to show where marks are won and lost.
Example: CAIE 9231 Paper 1 question on matrices โ finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors and checking answers against the published mark scheme.
- 50-60 min
Review, set homework, report
The tutor summarises what was mastered, flags anything to revisit, sets a focused homework task, and logs the session for the parent report.
Example: Homework set on further integration techniques (integration by parts applied to ln x and inverse trig functions) from a recent past paper.
After the lesson
Parents receive a written tutor note covering what was taught, what the student found challenging, and what homework has been set. The full session recording is available to replay at any time, and the student receives flashcards and a lesson resource file.

The subject that opens doors to mathematics, physics, and engineering degrees.
Cambridge AS Level Further Mathematics, set by CAIE, extends standard AS Mathematics with advanced pure content, mechanics, and statistics. It is assessed entirely by written examination, graded A to E, and recognised by universities worldwide.
Students who take AS Further Mathematics alongside or after AS Mathematics demonstrate exceptional analytical ability. The qualification signals to selective universities that a student can handle rigorous quantitative study from day one.

Why families across the GCC trust Tuitional for AS Further Maths.
My son was genuinely struggling with the proof and matrices units. His Tuitional tutor broke everything down into steps he could actually follow, and his confidence in exam conditions improved dramatically within a few weeks.
The tutor sends a clear note after every session. As a parent I finally know exactly where my daughter stands and what she needs to work on before the May exams.
I used to dread polar coordinates. After three sessions my tutor had me sketching curves and converting forms without hesitation. The one-to-one pace made all the difference.
We booked sessions around my son's football schedule and school timetable. Scheduling was genuinely flexible, and the tutor never missed a session.
Cambridge AS Further Maths tutoring, your questions answered.
The things parents and students ask us most, in plain language.
?What topics does Cambridge AS Further Maths cover?+
Cambridge AS Further Mathematics (syllabus 9231) covers advanced pure mathematics including proof, complex numbers, matrices, polar coordinates, further calculus, and differential equations. Students also study mechanics or statistics at a higher level than standard AS Mathematics.
?How is Cambridge AS Further Maths different from AS Maths?+
AS Further Mathematics extends the content of AS Mathematics significantly. It introduces topics not covered at standard AS level, such as complex numbers, eigenvalues, and further integration techniques. It is designed for students who find AS Mathematics comfortable and want to go further.
?Can my child take AS Further Maths without A-Level Maths?+
CAIE recommends that students take AS Mathematics alongside or before AS Further Mathematics. Most schools require it. Your tutor will check your child's current syllabus and prior learning in the first session to ensure lessons build on the right foundations.
?How many sessions per week does my child need?+
Most AS Further Maths students start with one or two sessions per week. Students closer to the exam series or tackling weaker topics often increase to three. Your tutor will recommend a schedule based on your child's progress and the time remaining before exams.
?Are sessions recorded if my child misses one?+
Yes. Every session is recorded and accessible on the platform at any time. Your child can replay the lesson, and the tutor also provides written notes and resources after each session, so nothing is lost if a session needs to be rescheduled.
?How much do AS Further Maths tutoring sessions cost?+
Tuitional's AS Level tutoring is available from AED 65 per hour. You can pay per session or choose a package with no lock-in. For full pricing details, visit the Tuitional tutoring packages page or contact us directly.
