A level maths tutor online in Germany

Sixth formers at British schools in Germany, and a few at international schools, sit A level maths exactly as pupils in Manchester do: three two-hour papers in a single May and June. Living in Germany changes nothing about the papers and a good deal about the help on offer nearby. This page compares the two most common specifications, Edexcel and AQA, from the boards' own documents, and shows one of our statistics lessons.

In short

Modern Age Coders is an online A level maths tutor for sixth formers in Germany, teaching Pearson Edexcel 9MA0 and AQA 7357 live in English: pure mathematics, statistics with the large data set, and mechanics. Mentors follow each pupil's pace and accent, work through exam-style questions every week, and teach in a group of fifteen to twenty or one to one, through our A Level Maths course.

Where to start

Three courses for sixth-form maths in Germany

The A level course, Further Maths for pupils taking the second A level, and GCSE maths for Year 11 pupils getting ready for the sixth form.

The papers

How are the Edexcel and AQA A level maths exams organised?

Both specifications set three papers of equal weight and cover the same national content. They differ in where the statistics and the mechanics sit, and that changes how a pupil should revise.

WhenAll assessment in May and June of one yearExams from June 2018 onward

Sources: Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Advanced GCE in Mathematics specification, Issue 4, February 2020; AQA A-level Mathematics 7357 specification, Version 1.3, 31 January 2018. Both downloaded from the boards' own qualification pages on 3 November 2026. Where the AQA cell says "see the board's current rules", we did not find the rule in the pages we read, so we do not state it.

The practical difference is this. An Edexcel pupil meets statistics and mechanics together in one paper, Paper 3, after two papers of pure maths. An AQA pupil meets mechanics in Paper 2 and statistics in Paper 3, each next to further pure questions. Either way, pure maths is never finished: AQA says Papers 2 and 3 can test any content from Paper 1, and Edexcel's two pure papers can each cover the whole pure content.

Pearson grades the A level from A* to E on the total of the three papers, out of 300, and says individual papers are not graded. A weak Paper 3 can be balanced by strong pure papers, and the reverse. For revision, that means the mentor looks at where the next ten marks are cheapest to gain, not at which paper "went badly".

What is marked

What does A level maths actually reward?

Both boards mark against three assessment objectives. Their weights explain why practice must go beyond routine questions.

Three objectives

Pearson names them AO1, use and apply standard techniques; AO2, reason, interpret and communicate mathematically; and AO3, solve problems within mathematics and in other contexts.

In the Edexcel table for the whole A level, AO1 carries 48 to 52 %, and AO2 and AO3 each 23 to 27 %. Roughly half the marks, then, are not for standard technique at all.

What that means in practice

A pupil who can differentiate anything but cannot explain why a model is unrealistic, or set up a problem with no worked example to copy, is aiming at about half the paper.

In Paper 3 the problem-solving weight is higher still: the Edexcel table gives AO3 a range of 10.33 to 11.67 % of the A level in Paper 3, against 6.33 to 7.67 % in each pure paper.

The large data set is the clearest example. Pearson says its questions assume knowledge of the data set and are likely to give a material advantage to students who have studied it. Pupils who first open it in revision week lose those marks. We work through the data set from the start of Year 12, in Python and on paper, so that a question about it reads like a question about something familiar.

Technique (AO1)

Short drills each class, so the routine half of the paper is fast and safe.

Reasoning (AO2)

Every answer explained in a sentence, as an examiner wants to read it.

Problems (AO3)

Unseen problems each week, with no worked example to copy.

In Germany

Where do pupils in Germany take A levels?

Mostly at British and some international schools. There is no official count of A level candidates in Germany, so we quote only what schools publish about themselves through AGIS.

In the AGIS directory, International School Westpfalz lists Cambridge Advanced AS and A Levels among its qualifications, and Berlin International School lists the Cambridge examinations board. AGIS says every one of its members is an authorised IB school, and its directory covers members only, so this is context, not a complete list of A level schools. AGIS also states that its member schools use English as their common teaching language.

We are not connected with AGIS, Pearson, AQA, Cambridge or any school, and no school sends pupils to us. Whether a German university accepts a particular set of A levels is decided under German rules by the university and the Länder; we do not give admissions advice, and we would send a family to the university's own admissions office for that.

A pupil who sits A levels as a private candidate, for example after moving to Germany from the UK mid-course, needs a centre that accepts private candidates. Finding one is the family's task; what we provide is the teaching, to the same specification the pupil started.

A lesson

How do you set up a hypothesis test without fooling yourself?

Hypothesis testing appears in the statistics content of both specifications. Our own lesson teaches one rule: decide what would count as evidence before you look at the result.

Task (ours). A school canteen says 30 % of pupils choose the vegetarian meal. A student suspects the true share is lower. She will ask a random sample of 20 pupils. Test at the 5 % significance level. Set-up: let X be the number in the sample who choose it. H0: p = 0.3, H1: p < 0.3, a one-tailed test. Under H0, X ~ B(20, 0.3).

Finding the critical region firstPython
from math import comb

n, p, alpha = 20, 0.3, 0.05

def cdf(k):
    return sum(comb(n, i) * p**i * (1 - p)**(n - i) for i in range(k + 1))

c = -1
while cdf(c + 1) <= alpha:
    c += 1

for k in range(c, c + 2):
    print(f"P(X <= {k}) = {cdf(k):.4f}")
print("Critical region: X <=", c)
print("Actual significance level:", round(cdf(c), 4))

It prints P(X <= 2) = 0.0355, P(X <= 3) = 0.1071, Critical region: X <= 2 and Actual significance level: 0.0355.

Before any pupil is asked, the rule is fixed: reject H0 if X ≤ 2. Three would not be enough, because P(X ≤ 3) = 0.1071 is above 5 %. The actual significance level of this test is 3.55 %, not 5 %, because a binomial variable jumps in whole steps and cannot hit 5 % exactly. Now the student asks her 20 pupils and 2 say yes. 2 is in the critical region, so there is evidence at the 5 % level that fewer than 30 % choose the vegetarian meal.

The mistake this prevents

A pupil who looks first and then decides is tempted to move the line: "2 out of 20 is 10 %, that feels low, so reject". Or, after seeing 3, to choose a two-tailed test or a 10 % level so that 3 also counts.

Choosing the rule after the data is the oldest error in statistics. Examiners test for it by asking for the critical region before giving the observed value.

How to write it in the exam

State both hypotheses with the parameter p, the distribution under H0, and the tail.

Give the critical region with the probability that justifies it, here P(X ≤ 2) = 0.0355 < 0.05.

Conclude in context, in words that do not overclaim: "evidence that", never "proof that".

  1. Write the hypotheses before the data. H0, H1, one or two tails, the significance level.
  2. Find the critical region. The largest c with P(X ≤ c) at or below the level, and say the actual level.
  3. Only then compare. The observed value is in the region or it is not; the conclusion follows, in context.

Times

When are online A level maths classes from Germany?

India is ahead of Germany all year, so after-school hours in Germany are evening hours for our mentors, and Saturday mornings in Germany are their early afternoon.

Sample lesson times for a pupil in Germany, with the mentor's time in India (our conversion)
Pupil, German timeMentor, Germany on winter timeMentor, Germany on summer time
Weekday 13:1517:4516:45
Weekday 15:4020:1019:10
Saturday 08:3013:0012:00

The Einheitenzeitgesetz sets German winter time at UTC+1 and summer time at UTC+2; this year's change back fell on 25 October 2026 and the spring change is due on 28 March 2027. India does not change its clocks from UTC+5:30. The rows show the arithmetic only; no class is fixed to them.

Edexcel's specification says all assessment is taken in May and June of a single year. For a pupil in Year 13 that means the last teaching months are about practice, and we add timed papers, two hours each, in the weeks before.

Two sixth-form years

A plan for A level maths in Year 12 and Year 13

Our own outline for a pupil in Germany with exams in May and June. The mentor follows the school's order of topics and the board.

A level maths over two years (ours)

Year 12, summerIntegration, vectorsKinematics and forces
Year 13, autumnProof, sequences, further calculusHypothesis tests, the normal distribution, moments
Year 13, springNumerical methods, mixed pure papersFull papers, two hours each

For parents

The mentor reports marks by objective as well as by topic, so you can see whether the gap is technique, reasoning or unseen problems.

Because the grade comes from all three papers together, we plan revision by where marks are cheapest to gain.

For pupils

In statistics, write the hypotheses and the critical region before you read the observed value.

Open the large data set in the first term, not in the last month.

Yes. Modern Age Coders teaches A level Mathematics live online in English to sixth formers across Germany, for Pearson Edexcel 9MA0 and AQA 7357, in a group or one to one.

Are the classes in German?

No. All classes are live and in English only, the language of the A level papers. Mentors match each pupil's pace and accent.

How many papers are there in A level maths?

Three for both Edexcel and AQA. Each lasts 2 hours, carries 100 marks and is worth a third of the A level.

What is the difference between Edexcel and AQA A level maths?

Edexcel sets two pure papers and a third paper with statistics in Section A and mechanics in Section B. AQA puts mechanics in Paper 2 and statistics in Paper 3, each alongside pure content from Paper 1.

How is the A level maths grade worked out?

Pearson says its A level is graded from A* to E on the combined marks of the three papers, out of 300, and that individual papers are not graded.

What is the large data set?

A set of real data each board names for the statistics content. Pearson says its questions assume familiarity with the data set, so pupils should study it in advance; AQA also requires familiarity with its large data set or sets.

Can a German university accept A levels?

That is decided by the university under German rules, and we do not give admissions advice. Ask the admissions office of the university you are interested in.

What times are possible?

Weekdays or weekends, flexible: choose your batch, or for a very personalised plan choose 1-on-1 at your convenience, weekend mornings or weekdays. A lesson at 15:40 in Germany is at 20:10 for the mentor while Germany is on winter time.
