Use videos from the GCSE maths tutor on YouTube aswell as website such as maths genie and physics and maths tutor for revision, can I ask how far off the grade boundary you were?

Will you get lessons at school? You are probably best waiting as you got a grade 2.

All that can be advised for maths is practice sadly and at school ask your teacher for help on topics you don’t get. Sometimes you needed it explained in different ways to fully understand it. I agree with @biochemmaths tho work your way up the grades for the questions

do you think one hour every day will be good? i'm thinking of 2-3 hours when school starts

I’d say that’s fine, just make sure to take regular breaks!
