1-to-1 CM1 tutoring.
Tailored support with the theory, calculations, Excel work and exam technique needed for CM1. Whether you are stuck on one topic or unsure how best to prepare, we can focus the session on the areas where your time will make the biggest difference.
Support across the parts of CM1 that matter in the exam.
Make a large syllabus more manageable.
CM1 can feel difficult because there is a lot of material and many methods look similar until you understand exactly what is being valued and when. We can identify the areas that are genuinely weak, work through them properly and then move into mixed question practice so the techniques become easier to recognise under exam conditions.
This can be useful if you are...
- sitting CM1 for the first time
- resitting and wanting a more targeted plan
- struggling with particular chapters or notation
- finding Excel/Paper B slow or uncomfortable
- approaching the exam and unsure what to prioritise

Recent exam experience, now working as a qualified actuary.
I passed every IFoA exam first time and now tutor CM1 alongside my work as a qualified actuary and actuarial manager.
CM1 was one of my strongest exams. I keep the exact marks on the About page because I would rather the tutoring be judged on whether it is useful to you.
What a session can look like
- you send topics or questions beforehand
- we meet on Microsoft Teams with screen sharing
- we spend the time on the areas you actually need
- you leave with a clearer next step for your own revision
CM1 tutoring questions.
Can we focus entirely on Excel/Paper B?
Yes. If that is the area you need most help with, the whole session can be practical Excel work.
Can I send topics or questions before the session?
Yes. Sending them beforehand means I can structure the session around the exact areas you want to cover.
Can you help if I am resitting CM1?
Yes. We can identify weaker areas, change what did not work last time and spend more of your revision time on the things most likely to improve your next sitting.
Do I need regular weekly tutoring?
No. You can book one session for a specific problem or use tutoring more regularly if it is useful.
