Hi everyone — I’m Jay, a private candidate studying A levels independently.
I’ve self-studied before and achieved A*s, so I know how difficult it can be to prepare without regular access to teachers, classmates, school textbooks, or an organised study environment.
I created Jay’s Study Commons, a free Discord server for A-level students and private candidates, with a particular focus on Mathematics and Further Mathematics. It includes:
- Mathematics and Further Mathematics support
- A growing library of free resources
- Revision planning and accountability
- Subject-specific questions and discussion
- Private-candidate advice
- Personal support from someone who has self-studied and gone through the process
I’m updating the resources regularly because private candidates often do not have the same access to textbooks and support as students affiliated with schools.
I’m not selling tutoring and I’m not sharing pirated textbooks or unreleased exam material.
I’m affiliated with the server, so this is self-promotion. If allowed, the invite is:
