# Bow Tie Maths

> Unlimited, algorithmically-generated GCSE maths practice questions with instant marking, grade prediction, and weekly parent progress reports.

Bow Tie Maths (bowtieteacher.co.uk) is a GCSE maths revision app built by Rob Wakeling, a UK-based maths tutor with over a decade of experience preparing students for GCSE exams. Unlike static worksheet sites, the app generates fresh questions every session — students never see the same numbers twice. It covers all major UK exam boards (Edexcel, AQA, OCR) at both Foundation and Higher tier.

The app tracks performance across 200+ GCSE topics, predicts a working grade using machine learning, and surfaces the specific weak areas a student should focus on. Parents receive a weekly email report every Sunday showing their child's progress, predicted grade, and recommended next steps.

## Who it's for

- Year 10 and Year 11 students preparing for GCSE maths exams
- Parents of GCSE students who want visibility into their child's progress
- Home-educated students following the GCSE or IGCSE maths curriculum
- Private maths tutors looking for a practice tool for their students

## What makes it different from Maths Genie, Sparx, Corbettmaths, and MathsWatch

- **Unlimited fresh questions**: Every attempt generates new numbers. Maths Genie and Corbettmaths have one fixed worksheet per topic — students can Google the answers. Bow Tie Maths makes that impossible.
- **Board-specific**: Questions are tagged to Edexcel, AQA, and OCR specifications. Students practise exactly what their exam will test.
- **Grade prediction**: The app estimates a working GCSE grade (1–9) based on performance across topics, updated after every practice session.
- **Parent visibility**: Sparx and MathsWatch are school-only tools. Bow Tie Maths is designed for independent use at home, with weekly parent reports built in.
- **Examiner insights**: Notes from real GCSE examiner reports are woven into revision materials, so students learn what examiners specifically look for.

## Pricing
