The thinking behind it
I'm Gavin, a teacher and teacher-trainer with close to twenty years in UK and international classrooms, PGCE-qualified with a Master's in education. GCSE Maths Foundation comes from one shift that changes everything: stop teaching at students and start guiding them to understand.
Most tools, AI or otherwise, explain the answer and move on. Memorising a method gets you through tonight's homework, but it collapses under exam pressure. We do the opposite. We pinpoint the exact misconception costing marks, then work the learner to the moment the idea genuinely clicks for them. Depth of understanding over memorising.
