Hegarty Maths

Hegarty Maths is a channel which originated about 7 years ago by covering all topics on the GCSE specification. With hundreds of thousands of views on youtube, this channel is extremely popular, and rightly so.

Though the GCSE specifications were since updated in 2015, all of the content remains relevant for today’s exams. The videos vary in length from 2 minutes to 30, with more complicated topics providing more lengthy videos.

Mr Hegarty does a voice over throughout the video and explains complicated concepts in a simplistic and understandable manner. He also provides numerous examples of the topic in question which you can try at the same time.

The videos are grouped into different exams, and they cover everything from GCSE to different modules for A-level Maths. Mr Hegarty also has an online platform which has over 1300 partner schools, with claims of having helped over 1 million students!

OnMaths

The OnMaths.com youtube channel is slightly lesser known than some of the channels previously mentioned, but is a great find!

The channel provides over 1000 different videos with a diverse range of topics. With plenty of newer videos tailored to the new GCSE specifications, the videos are very up to date.

One of the amazing things about this channel, is its organisation.

The GCSE topic videos are split into two playlists for higher and foundation tiers so that you can easily distinguish between what you need to learn for your exam. Beyond this, there are playlists of videos which organise the GCSE topics by grade. The videos are generally quite short this will enable you to create a checklist of topics which you should be able to cover for the grade you are aiming for. You could even surpass your predicted grade by going through some topics on a higher grade.

On Maths also goes through particularly challenging questions as part of their ‘demon questions’ playlists. Though this is a relatively new addition, the videos seek to deconstruct hard questions to make them easier to approach.

As well as specialist revision videos which cover all of the topics on the syllabus, the video also provides longer videos with predicted papers. Though these may not be accurate, they can provide an insight into what types of questions are expected to appear in your upcoming exam.
