For parents of secondary students

Worried about your child's maths? Improve in 30 days — or it's free.

Every question your child practises is based on 8 years of real GCSE exam patterns — so they revise what actually comes up, not what doesn't. Built by a teacher with 20+ years of experience. If you don't see results in a month, we refund every penny.

Exams are under way — it's not too late. Targeted revision in the final weeks still moves the grade.

Sound familiar?

Does any of this describe your situation?

Your child just came home with a maths report that is lower than you had hoped.

Their last mock was below their target grade — and you're not sure how to fix it.

You've looked at private tutoring and £50–£65 an hour feels impossible to sustain.

You've tried another app and your child has quietly stopped logging in.

What parents say

Real results, real families

★★★★★

"My son is struggling to focus on revision, I think he's finding it all overwhelming. However, he and I looked at some questions and came away with a 6/10 on a grade 4 set of questions. He's now a little more confident and wanting to do more — I'm so pleased I found this!"

— Sarah, Year 10 parent
★★★★★

"Much better value than some tutors and she can use it whenever she wants. The targeted revision means she's not wasting time on topics she already knows."

— Parent of a Year 10 student
★★★★★

"The girl who cried about maths for her whole school life got a 6 in maths at GCSE."

— Megan, parent of a Year 11 student

Common questions

Everything you need to know

My child already uses a different app through school, do we really need another one?

Those apps mostly exist to set homework for the school — they don't tell you where your child is stuck, and they don't predict a GCSE grade. Bow Tie Maths does both. You'll know which topics to revise and how close your child is to their target grade — which is the bit the school apps never quite give you.

What if my child refuses to use it?

You're not alone — every parent of a Year 10 or 11 knows the scene. The app is designed for short sessions (5–10 minutes at a time), and most children will engage when they see the grade prediction moving. If after 30 days your child has refused to use it, that's a perfectly valid reason to ask for the refund — no hard feelings.

We're sitting GCSE this summer — is it too late?

No. In the final weeks before the exam, targeted revision matters more than at any other point. The app's mini-mock papers are weighted by the topics most likely to appear and by the marks available — so your child spends 20 focused hours instead of 40 unfocused ones.

How is the grade prediction different from their school's mock?

A mock is one test on one day, often set by a single teacher. Our prediction is built from 8 years of real GCSE exam data and refines every time your child answers a question — so it's a moving picture of where they are, not a snapshot. If the two disagree, that's useful information, not a problem.

What do you do with our data?

We store your child's answers to refine the grade prediction and spot where they're struggling — and that's it. We don't sell data, we don't show ads to children, and your account can be deleted on request. Built by a teacher for students.
