GCSE Maths MOT in Hull: Find Out Why Marks Are Being Lost
A score tells you what happened. The Maths MOT looks more closely at why, so you can see what is secure, where understanding breaks down, and what should happen next.
Amir Hedjazi uses his experience as a qualified teacher with 16 years in secondary classrooms to look carefully at your child’s actual working, confidence, methods and next steps.

What is the Maths MOT?
A diagnostic GCSE Maths assessment, not just more questions.
The Maths MOT is a focused GCSE Maths gaps assessment for students in Hull who need more than a score or a list of weak topics.
During the session, Amir looks at how your child approaches maths: what is secure, what is nearly there, where misconceptions appear, and which missing connections are making questions feel harder than they should.
The aim is to understand patterns in working, confidence and method choice, then turn that into clear next steps for parents and students.
Who it helps
Useful when effort is not turning into marks.
The Maths MOT is for students who are trying, revising, or attending lessons, but still cannot see exactly why marks are being lost.
- Students who revise but still get stuck
- Students who lose marks without knowing why
- Students who say, “I can do it in class but not in the exam”
- Students who struggle with multi-step GCSE questions
- Students who lack confidence or avoid starting questions
- Students working around the Grade 3-5 boundary
- Post-16 resit students who need a clearer route forward
If your child is hovering around that boundary, you may also find the page on Grade 3-5 GCSE Maths support useful.
How it works
Four steps from diagnostic insight to focused support.
Receive a Personalised Roadmap
The roadmap shows what is secure, where gaps appear, and which topics or habits need attention first.
Create a Focused Action Plan
Parents receive clear, practical next steps instead of vague advice to do more revision.
Use Targeted Support and Review Progress
If tutoring continues, support can focus on the priorities identified in the MOT and be reviewed as confidence grows.
Diagnostic depth
What I look for during the assessment.
The point is not to label a student as good or bad at maths. It is to find the exact place where thinking becomes uncertain.
That means looking beyond final answers and paying attention to the working, the language, the confidence and the decisions made during a question.
- Secure methods
- Arithmetic fluency
- Misconceptions
- Mathematical vocabulary
- Question interpretation
- Confidence
- Starting a question but failing to finish
- Connecting several skills
- Layout and working
- Recall versus application
- Method selection
- Multi-step reasoning
What parents receive
Clear feedback you can actually use.
After the Maths MOT, the aim is for you to understand what should be tackled first and why. It does not promise a guaranteed grade change; it gives a clearer starting point.
Diagnostic insight
A clearer view of strengths, priority gaps, misconceptions and confidence blockers.
Personalised roadmap
A clear summary of what is secure, what needs attention and what I would tackle first.

Practical actions that show what to work on first and what can wait.
Clearer understanding
A better sense of whether regular tuition, an intensive session, or no further lessons is the right next step.
