How online maths tutoring can support your child.
Tutoring is one-to-one and can be planned around your child's subject needs.
A specialist tutor — not a generalist.
GCSE maths is its own subject. The tutor we match your child with teaches GCSE maths week in, week out — they know which topics burn time at higher tier, which ones reliably surface in non-calculator papers, and the recurring traps in each board's question style.
A plan built around the gaps, not the syllabus.
Most paid tutoring quietly walks the syllabus from start to finish — including the topics your child already understands. We diagnose first, then plan against the topics actually costing the grade. Lessons are sequenced around real weak points, not a textbook contents page.
A written trial report and feedback call.
After the free trial, you receive a report and a feedback call to discuss your child's learning needs and possible next steps.
What we cover
Foundation tier, higher tier, and the bit nobody is honest about: choosing between them.
We cover the full GCSE maths specification across AQA, Edexcel and OCR — number, algebra, ratio and proportion, geometry, probability, statistics. The content overlaps; the differences are in question style, paper structure and which topics each board leans on. Once we know your child's school board, every drill is the right one for that board.
Foundation tier targets a 1–5; higher tier targets a 4–9. Tier choice is the single biggest strategic decision in GCSE maths and schools often won't say so plainly. A confident 5 at foundation beats a panicked 4 at higher; a solid 6 at higher beats a stretched 5 at foundation. We'll tell you honestly which tier your child is genuinely sitting in.
- Higher-tier traps we see weekly — non-factorising quadratics, simultaneous equations with a quadratic, surds, vectors, harder trigonometry, proof-style questions.
- Foundation-tier gaps that hold the grade back — fractions, percentages, ratio, and the Year 8 fluency that was never properly locked down.
- Board-matched past papers from lesson one — AQA, Edexcel or OCR, never a generic mix.
The diagnostic-first principle
How we approach maths anxiety — and why we diagnose before we teach.
Most maths tutoring fails because it covers the syllabus instead of the gaps. Your child sits through topics they already understand; the one actually costing the grade — the one they quietly avoid — gets one rushed lesson three weeks before the exam.
- Lesson one is a diagnostic, not a lecture — the tutor watches your child work through real GCSE maths and traces backwards to the underlying gap.
- Lessons sequenced around real weak points, not a textbook contents page.
- Maths anxiety isn't solved by more worksheets — it's solved by short, specific wins week after week.
- Your child is treated as a person with a learning style, not a grade prediction.
Past-paper-led revision
What revision actually looks like with us — and why it's not just past papers.
Past papers are the single most reliable revision tool in GCSE maths — they show your child the exact question style they're going to sit, train them under realistic time pressure, and surface gaps a textbook can hide. We use them seriously: board-matched, mark-scheme-aligned, and walked through line by line in the lesson rather than left as 'do it at home and we'll mark it later'.
- Past papers as a diagnostic, not the destination — the next two or three lessons are built around the topics each paper exposed.
- Past-paper practice can be matched to the relevant exam board and tier.
- Calculator and non-calculator practised as separate disciplines, not the same paper twice.
- Time-management taught explicitly — which questions to skip first, when to cut your losses on a four-marker, how to bank quick marks early.
Pricing snapshot
What it costs — straight numbers, no 'request a quote'.
The free trial lesson is exactly that — free, no card needed. The optional Legacy Diagnostic is £97 and covers a written cross-subject audit plus a 60-minute specialist deep-dive on how your child learns. Weekly 1-to-1 maths tuition is priced after the trial, once we've built a learning plan around exactly what your child needs — not a generic monthly tier.
A personalised quote is discussed after the trial and feedback call. For current terms, please refer to the terms of service.

GCSE maths tutoring — frequently asked.
We don't guess. The trial lesson and (if you take it) the diagnostic both look at where your child sits across the higher-tier topics specifically — quadratics, trigonometry, surds, the harder algebra. From that we'll tell you honestly whether they're sitting just inside higher tier and need targeted shoring up, or whether sitting foundation and getting a strong 5 is the cleaner route to a better grade. Tier choice is a strategic decision, not a default.
All three of the major boards: AQA, Edexcel and OCR. The shared GCSE maths content is largely the same; the differences are in question style, paper structure and the topics each board emphasises. Once we know your child's school board, we plan against past papers from that exact board so the practice they're doing actually mirrors what they'll sit in May.
Progress varies by student, starting point and time available. The trial report and feedback call give you an opportunity to discuss your child's needs and possible next steps; specific grade outcomes are not guaranteed.
The free trial is 45 minutes, online and one-to-one. After booking, an education advisor calls to discuss your child's needs; tutor and Microsoft Teams session details are then sent by email. There is no card or commitment. After the trial, you receive a report and a feedback call.
Yes. Free rematch, no awkward conversation. The first tutor is our best matched guess from the trial form; if the chemistry isn't right or the teaching style doesn't land, you tell us and we pair your child with a different specialist. We'd rather take an extra week to find the right person than push you into months of weekly lessons with the wrong one.
Yes — explicitly. The non-calculator paper is where most students lose marks they could have caught: long multiplication, fractions, simplifying surds, factorising under time pressure. We work it as its own discipline, not as a side note to the calculator paper, with timed past-paper practice in the run-up to mocks and finals.
Tutoring is online only; we do not offer in-person tutoring or home visits. Lessons are delivered using Microsoft Teams.
The free trial includes a report and a feedback call to discuss your child's learning needs and possible next steps. If you decide to continue, an advisor can discuss a personalised plan and quote with you.
