Weekly lessons every Sunday focusing on crossover topics

Weekly live lessons

Weekly lessons designed specifically for students aiming for a Grade 4, 5, or 6. We are focusing entirely on the crossover topics—the exact questions that decide your final grade.

What are crossover topics? They are the specific topics that appear on both the Foundation and Higher tier papers.

On the Foundation paper, they are the hardest questions at the very back.

On the Higher paper, they are the vital easier questions at the very front.

These are the make-or-break marks. Many students drop these marks because they have gaps in their maths knowledge, misread wordy questions, or lack basic exam technique.

I am going to help fix that.

Introducing the GCSE Maths Crossover Course

Every Sunday, I am hosting a series of focused, 1-hour live lessons. We are not looking at specific exam boards; we are looking at the universal, high-value crossover topics that every single exam board tests.

Who is this for? This course is exclusively for students aiming for a Grade 6 or below (whether you are taking Foundation or Higher tier).

How it works: My camera will be on, and I’ll be presenting my screen as I work through the questions. Your camera and mic will be completely off. You can sit back in a stress-free environment, take notes, and learn exactly how an examiner thinks.

Each week is £15.

What you get each week

You don't just get a live lesson. You get a complete revision system. Every week includes:

The 60-minute live lesson: Step-by-step walkthroughs of high-value crossover questions.
The full video replay: Automatically emailed to you so you can re-watch at your own pace (or catch up if you miss a Sunday).
My completed solutions: A clear, downloadable PDF of my fully worked-out answers for your revision notes.

Targeted practice questions: A follow-up pack of interleaving questions to test your understanding while it is still fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions

Further information

How much does it cost to join? Each lesson is £15

Does it matter which exam board I am using? Not at all. The crossover topics we are covering (like Pythagoras, simultaneous equations, and percentages) are universal. AQA, Edexcel, and OCR all test these exact same concepts in very similar ways.

I am taking the Higher paper, is this too easy for me? If your target is a Grade 6 or below, this is perfect for you. The front half of your Higher paper is made entirely of these crossover topics. If you don't secure these marks, the Grade 6 becomes mathematically impossible.

I am taking the Foundation paper, is this too hard for me? If your target is a Grade 4 or 5, you must be able to answer these questions. They are the hardest questions at the back of your paper, and they are the exact questions that push you over the passing boundary.

What if I can't make it live on a Sunday? No problem. Every single student who registers gets the full video recording and the complete resource pack emailed to them immediately after the class finishes.

About me - Ken Stafford

Here is a video I created explaining how I teach students to expand double brackets.

I try and use colours in a deliberate and focused way to help students see exactly what I'm doing. This is something students have told me they find really helpful.

The worksheet featured in this video can be downloaded here.

The answers can be downloaded here and again you can see my use of colours in my working out.

The nth term of a sequence : Video lesson : Qs : Ans

Factors & multiples : Video lesson : Qs : Ans

Expanding single brackets : Video lesson : Qs : Ans

Expanding double brackets : Video lesson : Qs : Ans

How to find the HCF and LCM : Video lesson : Qs : Ans

Here are a series of videos I made explaing how I would approach these three GCSE maths past papers.

Here I'm trying to explain how I would approach these questions and my thinking when breaking questions down. I'm trying to show students the right approach to take and how to improve their exam technique.
