I've taught Maths casually to others before. For me, I find that the best way to learn Maths is to break it down and start from the basics- starting from the fundamentals and progressing into more difficult topics. This linear order not only makes it easier to understand why Maths is needed, but also presents the information in a digestible manner.

Practise questions and worksheets are always necessary when it comes to Maths, we can go through a variety of example questions that would be likely to come up in an exam so you don't feel intimidated or confused when you sit the real exams. I know that long, boring lessons where the teacher just talks and doesn't actually teach anything are universally hated, so I want to emphasise the importance of actually doing Maths rather than simply reading about it or listening to someone else teach you it. Videos can be helpful when learning a certain for the first time, but from there the content is mostly past paper questions or example questions. I have access to many GCSE past papers from my time as a GCSE student, so these could be quite useful to you if doing GCSE Higher Maths.

Though practise is highly important, it's also important that you actually understand what you're doing. I know from experience that once you actually know why you need to do something in Maths, it makes so much more sense- it's about using everything you've learnt and applying it! In a way, Maths can feel like a puzzle game once you know what you're doing!
