What is probability?

Probability measures the likelihood of events occurring. It ranges from basic probability at KS3 to conditional probability, tree diagrams, and Venn diagrams at GCSE and beyond.

Key concepts

Our tutors cover the full range of probability topics, including:

  • Theoretical and experimental probability
  • Sample spaces and outcomes
  • Tree diagrams
  • Venn diagrams and set notation
  • Conditional probability
  • Independent and dependent events

Where students struggle

Probability is one of the topics students most commonly seek help with. Here are the areas our tutors focus on:

  • Distinguishing independent from dependent events
  • Using tree diagrams for conditional probability
  • Converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages
  • Probability with combined events

Year groups

Probability is part of the curriculum for Year 7, Year 8, Year 9, Year 10, Year 11, Year 12, Year 13. The level of difficulty increases as students progress, with more abstract and exam-focused content at GCSE and A-Level.

How a tutor helps with probability

A dedicated maths tutor provides focused, personalised support that a classroom teacher simply can't. They identify exactly where your child is getting stuck, explain concepts in a way that makes sense to them, and provide the practice needed to build real confidence. For probability, this targeted approach makes all the difference.

Exam relevance

Probability appears at every level of the maths curriculum. At GCSE, expect tree diagram and Venn diagram questions. At A-Level, conditional probability is a key applied maths topic.
