About Us
Who We Are
Founded by a team of passionate and experienced educators, we were created to address a critical and consistent gap in mathematics exam preparation. Time and time again, students were losing valuable marks on worded, multi-step problems—the very questions that often dominate the second half of exam papers, yet rarely receive enough focused practice in lessons.
Our mission is simple: to listen to students’ needs and prepare them properly for real exams.
That’s why each of our books contains 250 bespoke, multi-step, exam-style questions, carefully designed to build confidence, accuracy, and resilience in problem-solving under exam conditions.
All questions are:
100% original and bespoke
Aligned with the UK educational framework
Fully suitable for use both in the UK and internationally
Every question is written, edited, and quality-assured by industry-leading teachers, authors, and editors, with decades of combined classroom and publishing experience.
