Recover the GCSE Maths marks your child is already capable of earning
After 10 years teaching GCSE Maths and marking thousands of exam papers, I know exactly where capable students lose marks — and it is almost never because they don't know enough. Maths Forensics gives students the system to stop it happening.

Just finished GCSEs?
Your next challenge starts here
Many students who do well at GCSE still arrive in Year 12 with fragile algebra, weak graph skills, and no experience of the pace A-level demands. The A-Level Maths Jumpstart Lab is a six-week summer course that diagnoses those hidden gaps and repairs them before September.

These are the three patterns I have seen repeatedly across over 10 years of teaching, marking and watching students underperform relative to what they actually know
Rushed reading and missed command words cost easy marks on questions the student knows how to answer. This is the most common and most fixable source of lost marks I see.
Weak working and poor method presentation mean examiners cannot award credit, even when the thinking behind the answer is correct. Marks that should have been earned are left on the table.
Without proper diagnosis, students revise more content but keep leaking marks in exactly the same places. More revision does not fix an execution problem — a system does.
Maths Forensics is a structured system for finding and fixing lost marks
It is not another revision course. It is built around the specific habits and patterns I have identified across a decade of GCSE Maths teaching — the ones that quietly drain marks from students who are more than capable of better results.
Students pinpoint whether the problem is question reading, timing, method presentation, topic weakness, or exam pressure. No more guessing. No more revising everything and hoping something sticks.
Students work on the exact skill that is leaking marks — drawn from the most common misconceptions in algebra, number, shape, and data that I have seen derail results over ten years.
Students learn repeatable routines for checking, timing, working presentation, and decision-making — practised under exam pressure, not just at a desk at home.
Parents can begin with the Exam Execution Guide, move into the full Mark Recovery System, or go straight to Premium for the most complete support available.
Maths Forensics was created by Mike Taylor after more than a decade of teaching GCSE Maths, marking student work, and identifying the repeated patterns that stop capable students turning knowledge into marks.
I am Mike Taylor, a GCSE Maths teacher with eleven years of classroom experience across AQA, Edexcel, and Cambridge IGCSE. In that time I have marked thousands of exam papers, watched hundreds of capable students walk out of exams feeling like they had done worse than they should have — and then seen exactly why when the papers came back.
The same patterns come up again and again. Students who know the maths but misread the question. Students who get the right answer but lose marks because their working is too thin. Students who run out of time because they spend too long on questions they should have skipped.
These are not knowledge problems. They are execution problems. And they are fixable — but only if someone shows students the specific system for fixing them, not just tells them to revise harder or read more carefully.
That is what Maths Forensics is. Everything in it comes directly from what I have seen work across a decade of teaching, marking, and helping students recover marks they should never have lost in the first place.

What parents say after using Maths Forensics
Grade 5 to Grade 7 in four weeks
"My daughter was always losing marks through silly mistakes. She was disappointed with a 5 in her mocks in January and spent 4 weeks followed the Mark Recovery System and jumped to a Grade 7 in her GCSE."
Paul & Sandra

Marta
Mother of EDEXCEL GCSE student 2024
