Ace Your 8th Grade Math Exam — Without Unnecessary Stress!
Individual lessons, full online support, and guaranteed systematic progress.
I'm Filip, a first-year Computer Science student with hands-on experience preparing students for the Polish 8th-grade math exam.
Over the past few years, I have helped dozens of 7th and 8th graders build the skills and confidence they need to succeed. Many of them started with significant gaps — struggling with fractions, confused by percentages, anxious about geometry. After several months of working together, they were solving full exam papers independently and with confidence. My approach is rooted in patience and understanding each student's individual needs.
I do not use a one-size-fits-all template — I first identify what causes difficulty, then build skills and confidence step by step. As a Computer Science student, I have a strong foundation in logical thinking and I know how to explain it in a way that makes sense. I will help you or your child master the entire exam scope clearly and at your own pace.
What I Offer
Official Exam Scope Coverage
From computational skills and practical calculations to geometric properties — every topic in the detailed exam requirements will be covered step by step.
We work from the current CKE (Central Examination Board) guidelines, and each section ends with a targeted practice set. This ensures no important topic is missed and the student is prepared for every type of question that may appear on the exam.
Flexible Learning Plan
Everyone has different needs.
I create an individual schedule based on the student's strengths and weaknesses. If the student handles arithmetic well but struggles with geometry, we focus on geometry without wasting time repeating what they already know. The plan is updated every few weeks based on progress, so we always work on what matters most at that moment.
Progress Monitoring Webapp
I use a simple application where I publish lesson summaries, homework exercises, and feedback on student progress after each lesson.
Parents have full visibility into what we worked on, what assignments were given, and how the student is handling the material. This allows you to track development in real time and respond quickly if difficulties arise.
Practical Examples and Exam Tasks
We do not waste time on unnecessary theory.
I teach through solving real tasks from past exam papers. Each problem is discussed in detail — from understanding the question, through choosing the right method, to verifying the answer. The student learns to recognize task types and apply the right strategies, which significantly boosts confidence during the actual exam.
Support in Word Problems
Word problems are a particularly important part of the 8th-grade exam.
Many students struggle not with the math itself, but with extracting information from text and translating it into equations. We practice reading comprehension, identifying given values and unknowns, and building equations from word descriptions. This is a skill that proves useful far beyond the exam.
Why Choose Me?
Complete Material Coverage
I know exactly what the basic and detailed exam program looks like.
I work from the current CKE requirements checklist and systematically mark off each topic. This means no section gets skipped, and the student will not be surprised by a new type of question on exam day. I regularly check progress with mini-tests tailored to the student's current level.
Individual Pace
No one gets left behind — if certain topics need more practice, we dedicate extra time to them.
In school, the teacher must follow the curriculum even if half the class does not understand. In tutoring, the student sets the pace. If fractions require three lessons instead of one, we take three lessons. If percentages come easily, we move on without unnecessary repetition.
Continuous Parent Communication
Through the dedicated webapp, you can track your child's progress after every lesson.
You receive a summary of what we worked on, what went well, and what still needs attention. You do not have to guess whether the tutoring is working — you can see it in black and white. I am also always available for a quick message if you have questions.
Stress-free Environment
As a Computer Science student, I remember what it is like to be a student and how stress can block thinking.
In my lessons, there are no grades and no penalties for mistakes. A mistake is a natural part of learning — we discuss it calmly and draw conclusions. Many of my students say that after a few lessons they stopped being afraid of math because they realized it can be understood.
How We Work Together
Free Consultation
We will discuss the student's level, identify major challenges, and plan first steps.
During this brief conversation, I learn about the current situation — which topics cause difficulty, when the exam is, and how much time we have to prepare. Based on this, I propose a realistic action plan.
Diagnostic Lesson
We assess the student's level using a set of tasks covering different exam sections.
This is not a graded test — the goal is for me to know exactly which topics need work from scratch and which just need polishing. I discuss the results with the parent and use them to create the study plan.
Individual Plan
Based on a thorough analysis of strengths and weaknesses, I create a detailed plan covering all exam sections.
The plan accounts for priorities — we start with topics that will yield the biggest point gains. Every few weeks the plan is updated based on the student's progress.
Regular Lessons
Each session combines a brief theory explanation with intensive exercise solving.
I follow the 20/80 principle — twenty percent of time on theory, eighty percent on practice. The student solves problems independently while I correct mistakes and clarify doubts in real time.
Summary Application
After each lesson, I write up summary notes in the dedicated app.
You will find the topics covered, practice problems for review, and tips for independent study. Parents can see progress without having to ask — everything is available in one place.
Systematic Tests
We conduct practice mini-exams tailored to the student's current level throughout the course.
Each test simulates exam conditions — limited time, no hints, answer format matching the real exam. This helps the student get comfortable with pressure and learn to manage their time effectively.
Detailed Topic Range
mastering basic operations, order of operations, and mental math strategies. A strong foundation that every other topic builds upon.
adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions, converting between forms, and comparing values. Solid fraction skills are essential for nearly every exam section.
calculating a percentage of a number, finding the whole, price increases and decreases, VAT, and discounts. One of the most frequent task types on the 8th-grade exam.
setting up and solving equations based on word problems. A key skill that connects algebraic thinking with practical application.
angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, the Pythagorean theorem, area, and perimeter calculations. Geometry typically accounts for about 30% of exam points.
counting possibilities, event probability, and tree diagrams. This topic appears on the exam increasingly often and is well worth mastering.
reading charts, tables, and graphs, calculating averages, medians, and ranges. Practical skills tested through real-world data scenarios on the exam.

Testimonials
Filip helped Bartek catch up with fractions and geometry in just a few weeks, and now Bartek solves problems independently. Highly recommended!
Anna (Bartek's mom, 8th grade)
The reviews and practice tests helped me a lot. Thanks to them, I'm no longer afraid of the exam.
