Maths revision help

I'm doing GCSE maths, I've failed about 5 times now, I've tired tuition from 2 or three different people which was a waste of money as i didn't learn much, and i can't learn this way for some reason. maths is one of those subjects you have to practice of but I've tired a few ways like cgp books, past papers, maths-watch, it still doesn't stick in my head. i really need this C because i'm not spending another year in college doing just the maths GCSE,
I would be grateful if anyone could share their revision tips for maths.
Unfortunately practice does make perfect. The best way to revise for maths is to do past paper after past paper. Review the ones you get wrong, sit down and read the mark-scheme and working so that you understand why you went wrong. Once you realise the pattern in working out the particular sum then you'll be laughing.

Not really I'm afraid, just keep practicing, even after you get the pattern until it is ingrained in your memory.
