From Panic to Pass: How to Succeed in the Standard Level Maths Matura Exam in English in 2026?!
I'll guide you through the exact steps that have already helped nearly a hundred of my students understand maths and achieve great results.
- Weekly live problem-solving sessions + one 180-minute intensive live class every three weeks
- Theoretical and practical written materials organized into structured topic areas
-
Fully online preparation programme
(23 January 2026 – end of April 2026) - Individual or small-group tutoring lessons available upon request
Do you feel like…?
- ...you barely know anything in maths and are terrified of the exam?
- ...the final year feels too short, and there’s already not enough time to prepare?
- ...you should cover nearly 20 topics—which could mean up to 200 hours of study—but you have neither the time nor a plan for it?
- ...your university plans depend entirely on your results?
- ...it bothers you to have to explain yourself to others if things don’t work out?
- ...your stomach knots up just hearing the word “maths” and knowing you will not be able to use ChatGPT in the exam?
You're not alone — if you jump into the final year without a plan, you’ll regret it later. You need to act in time, or the pressure will only increase!
What happens if you don’t start in time?
- If you don’t begin your preparation now, those 200 hours will be squeezed into an ever-shorter period, and your stress level will rise.
- As the pressure builds, you’ll start to rely on shallow methods, even though true success in maths comes from a solid understanding.
- You’ll feel overwhelmed and won’t even know what to review first.
- Now imagine this: You only start studying later in February, and by March you realize that writing your Hungarian and History topics takes up all your time—leaving you panicked about how you'll find time for maths…
But it doesn’t have to be that way!
Now imagine instead…
What a relief it would be to open your exam paper in May, nervous—but confident thanks to all the preparation behind you.
How great it would feel walking out of the written exam knowing you gave it your all. You may not know your exact score yet, but you feel proud of your effort—even if 1–2 tiny things didn’t go as planned.
How satisfying it would be to see that – even with a January start – you can review all the topic areas!
And imagine writing the mock or trial exams in March with the confidence that almost none of the topics feel unfamiliar anymore—you’re just polishing what you already know.
How Can You Prepare in Time?
My program starting in January is a preparation course for the standard- level Maths Matura Exam in English, where
- I guide you through all the exam topics exclusively in English, helping you improve your reading comprehension in maths-related texts. In the next 3-4 months, you’ll understand English maths content better and better
- Participants in the course also gain access to continuously expanding theoretical and practical written materials.
- The structure of the theory videos also supports your English maths vocabulary development: we start with simple concept-explanations, followed by detailed theoretical explanations of the topic, and finally solve 4-5 short and 4-5 long tasks from previous exam papers
- There will be weekly 1-hour live problem-solving workshops
- Plus, every three weeks, you can join an intensive 3-hour problem-solving session on a Saturday – all in English
- If that’s still not enough and you’d like to take private tutoring lessons as well alongside the course, that’s also possible
I’m Adrienn Farkas – Economist (MSc), Engineer (MSc), and Private Maths Tutor
- I’ve been teaching maths for nearly 25 years
- During this time, I’ve worked with around 120 students, helping them prepare for Matura exams, finals, and tests
- I know exactly what the typical pitfalls are and which areas need attention
- I love explaining step by step, without skipping anything
- I enjoy showing the connections between topics – that’s how knowledge really deepens
All my life, I’ve set goals and achieved them step by step. I know how to guide you through the same. Preparing for the maths exam is also about many small steps – and as you move forward, you’ll start to see the patterns, and feel confident solving problems that once seemed impossible. But you’ll need persistence – and that’s where I come in to support you!
What my former students say about working with me:
Students often think this – and maybe you do too:
- “This isn’t for me, I’m not capable of this.”
- “I don’t have time right now.”
- “I’ve been disappointed by teachers before – why would this be different?”
- “I’ll just prepare on my own… I have ChatGPT to help”
- “It’s too expensive."
You might think this is too much right now – but that’s exactly why I’ve built the program so you only need to cover one or two topics per week, gradually. Many are also afraid they won’t get enough support – but during the weekly sessions I answer all your questions, and the 3-hour workshops (every three weeks) give you practical experience and confidence.
If tutoring hasn’t worked for you before, this might finally be the structure you need. I know you’re thinking: “I probably can’t do this.” But with a solid plan and weekly progress, you absolutely can – I’ve seen it with many students.
This system will help you reach better results than if you tried to do it alone – and that’s the real goal! You won't have ChatGPT to ask in the exam - you will be on your own.
If this has not convinced you yet that it would be good to study with me, then watch this video how I explain a smaller topic and a practice problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
The course content and communication are entirely in English, so this course is not recommended for you.
Not really. The course doesn’t cover every topic from the advanced-level curriculum (topics assessed only at the advanced-level are not included). The written materials are designed for intermediate-level questions only, and the weekly and other problem-solving workshops also focus on intermediate-level exam tasks. So, at best, this course might help you build a foundation, but it won’t prepare you for the full advanced-level exam.
The monthly fee is less than the cost of two private tutoring sessions in English. For this price, you receive 7-10 hours of group problem-solving workshops, theoretical and practical written materials, plus valuable bonuses – overall, this offers significantly more value.
In my experience, 90–95% of students struggle to plan their study time over 3-4 months. Some do try, but between school tests and other assignments, they fall behind and often don’t touch their exam prep materials for weeks. In contrast, this course provides continuous support to help you stay on track.
Yes, free resources do exist – but you often have to search through them randomly, and they’re not aligned with the Hungarian curriculum. For instance, the expectations of the British GCSE exam are not the same as those of the Hungarian Matura exam.
I’ve participated in maths competitions since primary school and attended a specialized maths program at Szent István Secondary Grammar School in Budapest. I hold an MSc in Engineering (BME) and an MSc in Economics (Corvinus). Over the past 25 years, nearly 120 students have felt it was worth learning with me. You’ll find a few testimonials above, too.
