MathematicsStudying Maths has never been as important as it is today. It is the foundation of all the sciences and anyone aiming to study a scientific subject at university should consider it. It is also one of the most sought after subjects by employers in any field. But most importantly, it is interesting, challenging and fun! At Tallis, our enthusiastic teaching team has an excellent record of success over many years in preparing students to succeed at Maths and Further Maths A-level.
In recent years we’ve placed students at Cambridge University, Oxford University, Warwick University and at Imperial College for mathematics, so we have a good record at getting the best out of our mathematicians. If you’re interested in taking STEP papers for Oxbridge entrance and the like, we offer coaching from Oxbridge and Imperial maths undergraduates in addition to high-quality teaching from experienced staff. A-level mathematics students focus on pure mathematics, statistics and mechanics. Further Maths students must also study A-level Mathematics and their course also includes harder problems and topics in pure maths, mechanics and decision maths. Maths students are expected to be able to use technology to support their learning, as well as to handle and solve problems involving large data sets. The subject has a strong emphasis on modelling, problem-solving and reasoning. To be a successful mathematician you need to be logical, persistent, and hard-working. We also offer Core Maths as a 4th subject for people who want to keep up their mathematics but can't pursue A-level maths. This is a one-year course and is scored like an AS-level, so it is potentially worth 40% of the UCAS points of a full A-level. Core maths teaches mathematical reasoning, finance, and statistics, and reinforces key ideas about problem solving and logical thought. This outline familiarity with mathematical ideas is particularly useful for those studying social sciences such as sociology, psychology, or economic history and the like and also fits really well with biology and business and finance related subjects. The course is out of the way by the end of Year 12 so you can really concentrate on your other three subjects - but with bonus UCAS points in the bag. For those of you who just missed your 4 at GCSE or who want to top up to a 5 or 6 we also offer a GCSE Maths retake course. |
