What is trigonometry?

Trigonometry deals with the relationships between angles and sides of triangles. It starts with basic ratios at GCSE and extends to identities, equations, and radians at A-Level.

Key concepts

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

  • Sin, cos, and tan ratios
  • Sine and cosine rules
  • Trigonometric graphs
  • Trigonometric identities
  • Solving trigonometric equations
  • Radians and arc length

Where students struggle

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

  • Deciding which rule to use (sine vs cosine)
  • Working in radians instead of degrees
  • Proving trigonometric identities
  • Finding all solutions in a given range

Year groups

Trigonometry is part of the curriculum for 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 trigonometry

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 trigonometry, this targeted approach makes all the difference.

Exam relevance

Trigonometry appears in GCSE Higher papers (sine/cosine rule, graphs) and is a major topic at A-Level, often combined with calculus in exam questions.

Trigonometry is studied by students in Year 10, Year 11, Year 12, Year 13. The depth and complexity increase at each level.

Deciding which rule to use (sine vs cosine). Working in radians instead of degrees. Proving trigonometric identities. Finding all solutions in a given range. A dedicated tutor helps students work through these challenges with clear explanations and plenty of practice.

A 1-to-1 tutor identifies exactly where your child is stuck, breaks down difficult concepts into manageable steps, and provides targeted practice. This focused approach is much more effective than trying to keep up in a classroom of 30.

Trigonometry appears in GCSE Higher papers (sine/cosine rule, graphs) and is a major topic at A-Level, often combined with calculus in exam questions.
