No. Mint is a Scottish Higher Maths teaching platform built by experienced SQA teachers. Unlike revision apps that only test knowledge, Mint explains the “why” before the “how” with clear steps, interactive examples, worked solutions, and exam tips, building the understanding that makes exam prep more effective.

No. Mint is a web‑based app that works in your browser on a phone, tablet, or laptop. Log in anytime, anywhere - whether you’re revising on the bus or studying comfortably at home. No downloads, storage issues or installing updates.

Yes. Mint is privacy‑first: no ads, no tracking, and no data sharing. Your learning journey stays completely private and secure.  You can even use a nickname, but we’ll have to use that name for any updates or tips!

Mint is designed for students who find Maths difficult. We’ve broken the topics into  bite‑sized steps with clear, friendly explanations, where you control the pace. No timers, no leaderboards, no pressure - just supportive teaching that builds confidence.

Yes. Mint gives you full control over your learning. You decide what to study, when and where to start, and how much to do. Our flexible teaching tools avoid random repetition and makes your progress feel empowering.

Absolutely. We explain the “why” behind formulas and “how” to apply logic to problems. You can approach problem-solving questions in the exam confident you have the critical thinking skills needed to succeed, and not just rely on rote memory.

Yes. Our end-of-chapter summaries and exam tips are highly effective review tools, not just last minute cramming materials. These work because they build on the understanding you’ve already gained through teaching. Starting earlier helps, but Mint supports both steady study and last‑minute prep.

Yes. Mint offers high‑quality teaching for a fraction of weekly tutor costs. We provide continuous, structured, and expert-written support 24/7, without the scheduling stress or financial strain of traditional weekly tutoring fees.

Both. Many students prefer the independence and teaching style of Mint, not needing a tutor; others feel they benefit from some face-to-face interaction. If you use both, Mint can handle the heavy lifting of teaching and explanations, and expensive tutor time can then focus on confidence‑building and fine‑tuning.

Yes. The teaching methods and materials used in Mint are based on strategies we’ve used to successfully guided hundreds of students through their exams. In a monitored trial, consistent use of Mint helped one academy improve results significantly, moving over 50 places in national rankings.

Yes. Mint Maths is written by experienced SQA teachers (who know the exam inside out!) and every chapter, topic, and practice question is fully mapped to the current SQA course specification. *SQA will become Qualifications Scotland in December 2025, but the 2025–2026 exam diet remains unchanged. Mint will update immediately if changes occur.

Yes. Designed as an accessible platform for dyslexic students and diverse learners, it uses clear fonts, colours, and layouts, and no distractions. We are the first to remove italics from formulas, making complex notation easier to read. This unique feature helps everyone focus on learning, not overcoming extra barriers.

Most sites are essentially digital revision sheets, testing your existing knowledge.  Mint is different; it’s fundamentally a teaching curriculum. Starting with a blank slate, we guide you step-by-step, from core concepts to real, lasting, understanding.  Because we know, once you understand something, you can’t unlearn it.
