On-Line A-Level Maths
Can anyone recommend an accredited organisation please? Some have names that give the impression they're affiliated to respected universities but I'm not sure they are. Any advice would be appreciated.

The problem is.... no one over nineteen can join a secondary school class
I ended up paying - Not that satisfactory but I had done A level in class in er 1968 - and doing zillions of problems and bringing in a few knotty ones for the maths tutor
and good luck - it is worthwhile
too ill to take up a place at Man uni 2012. Life can be a bummer
The maths itself is mostly centuries old but what constitutes A level these days has been dumbed down. I've seen O level questions on papers of late. We had some undergrads last year and one of the was actually doing "A level" maths, I helped him out with some of it and the questions on the practice papers were clearly O level standard in the 70s . I agree with PP though you can't do A level maths online.

I did the A level in class ( with Fatty Barratt actually) 1968 when I was 16 and then reapplied to Manch uni - when I retired and was told to retake maff A level. Specifically an A level fifty years before was not enough
and being over nineteen when I retired etc etc.
waaaaaay over 19 - sorry I know this is AB
The obvious way is to get a maff master near you to give private lessons BUT A level maths ( = maths master available) is not offered over the whole of North Manchester ( pop around 1m)
Buen read maff somewhere - he may be able to assist
HUGE number of viddies on You tube, I have recently done Modal logic, Intro to Fluid mechanics, Computability but this is NOT the same as a course
Writing the exam without being afiliated to a college is another absolute nightmare. ( widespread personation)
Pure, Applied or a combination thereof?
Some parts of maths will be (reasonably) easy to follow on-line, others not so much.
Once the method is understood, remote practice is straightforwards - otherwise there would be no requirement for 'homework'.
I can't give any advice as to where best to access the classes but I would disagree that online learning is not suitable.
As someone who's taught A-level Maths, I can see how hard it would be to study the subject online. However, for the most able of students at least, it shouldn't be totally impossible.
The National Extension College is a registered educational charity, partnering with (among other organisations) the Open University:

The NEC's courses include A-level Maths, with a pass rate of over 80%:

Maths is like no other subject you cannot just learn it by what they tell you.
as fatty Barratt did 50 y ago - you do a bit of theory, and then in class go thro examples..... but involve the pupils in the lines of calculation. Then they go home and do a few examples by themselves and bring back the prob for the next lesson.
we er all agree about how it should be taught
