Private tutoring in maths for Première (second year of lycée)

Première (the second year of lycée) is when the maths speciality picks up speed: differentiation arrives in the autumn and never leaves the curriculum. It is also the year when students decide whether to keep the speciality in Terminale, a choice made in the spring, sometimes in the wake of a difficult term, and one that then shapes the courses open to them after the baccalauréat.

The curriculum

Why take tutoring in maths for Première (second year of lycée)?

Topics covered

  • Differentiation
  • Sequences
  • Quadratics
  • Trigonometry
  • Conditional probability
  • Dot product

Differentiation, straight away

The derivative arrives in the autumn and never leaves the curriculum. A student who has not mastered the calculation meets that gap again in every chapter that follows.

Keeping the speciality, or dropping it

The choice to keep maths in Terminale is made in the spring, sometimes on the strength of a difficult term rather than a clear assessment of the student’s skills.

From calculation to reasoning

Première asks students to justify, not just to find. Variations, reading graphs and proofs call for a way of writing that is hard to develop alone.

School success and study choices

Difficulties in Maths: gaps, method or lack of practice?

A difficulty in Maths does not mean a student is “hopeless at Maths”. In practice, you first need to distinguish three common mechanisms: a poorly mastered prerequisite, an unsuitable problem-solving method or insufficient practice. They can add up. A good diagnosis therefore does not start only from the mark, but from the mistakes: can the student carry out the basic step? can they choose a strategy? do they only succeed with help? do they repeat a mistake despite the correction? In twenty minutes, a few well-chosen exercises and an explanation out loud often make it possible to know which lead to work on first.

Private tutoring

How do you measure a student’s progress in private tutoring?

A student’s progress is not measured by their marks alone. You need to track over time their understanding, their independence, their recurring errors, their consistency and their ability to succeed at comparable tasks with less and less help.

Methods and revision

Active recall: the revision method that makes the brain retrieve information

Active recall means retrieving information from memory, without looking at your notes, and then checking your answers. It is a more effective method than simple rereading for long-term memorisation. To use it well, you need to space out recall sessions and use your mistakes to target the gaps.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about tutoring in maths for Première (second year of lycée)

Are the speciality and the core curriculum handled the same way?

No, and the tutor adapts the session to what the student actually takes. The maths speciality and the core science course have neither the same curriculum nor the same expectations: mixing them up wastes time on both.

What happens if my child drops the speciality in Terminale?

Their Première speciality marks then count towards the continuous assessment of the baccalauréat, and the student can carry on with the complementary maths option. Support in Première therefore helps as much to keep that option open as to secure the average.

How many sessions does it take to catch up on differentiation?

It depends on what is missing further back, often the algebra and functions from Seconde. The tutor identifies this in the first session, and the report they write says what still needs revisiting.

Does the tutor work on homework from the lycée?

Yes. The chapters in progress, marked tests and the papers set by the school are directly useful material: they show what the student needs to be able to do and where marks are being lost.

Can we start partway through the year?

Yes, at any point. There is no intake to sign up for and no set calendar: you book sessions one at a time, as soon as the need arises.
