* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study. These...

Anne W
I’ve always struggled with maths and never felt confident in it. However, Anna completely changed that. She listened attentively to my needs and tailored every session to help me prepare for my maths exam. She explained everything clearly and always repeated key concepts when I still didn’t understand. Anna was also very flexible and offered to send me extra worksheets or clarify any confusion anytime I needed it. Thanks again, Anna, for helping me pass my maths exam!

Carol B
I’m a mature student who hasn’t studied for years, I was trying to learn via online automated courses and YouTube tutorials. The difficulty with this is you can’t ask questions or get any feedback, then I found Carol…
The sessions were well-structured, personalised to my needs, engaging, and always supportive. What I appreciated most was how Carol created a non-judgmental environment where I felt comfortable asking questions, no matter how basic.
I highly recommend Carol to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and professional tutor – even if you’re an adult learner like me!

Sarah T
Sarah has been an absolutely incredible maths tutor, and I am very grateful for her support. Despite only having 5 sessions to prepare for my Functional Skills in Maths, Sarah’s impact was profound and transformative. From the outset, she provided a clear and structured plan for each session, which allowed me to prepare thoroughly and approach our lessons with a sense of purpose and confidence.
Sarah has a remarkable ability to simplify complex concepts, making them accessible and less intimidating. Her approach was patient and methodical, ensuring that I fully grasped each topic before moving on. This was especially important to me as I struggled with confidence in maths, feeling overwhelmed and discouraged at times. Sarah’s unwavering patience and encouragement were crucial in helping me overcome these challenges. She never rushed me, always providing the space and understanding I needed to truly understand the material.
The detailed feedback she gave after each session was not just informative but also deeply motivating. It allowed me to see my progress, celebrate my achievements, and identify areas for improvement. This kind of support was invaluable in building my confidence and reigniting my enthusiasm for maths, a subject I had previously found daunting.
Thanks to Sarah’s exceptional guidance, I was able to successfully pass my Functional Skills in Maths, a milestone that once felt out of reach.
Thank you, Sarah, for being such a vital part of my maths learning journey and for helping me to succeed. 💜

asked questions
See all FAQs
Do your tutors have experience with the Functional Skills Maths curriculum?
We have a range of tutors who are specialists in the Functional Skills Maths curriculum across all major exam boards, including City & Guilds, Pearson (Edexcel), and AQA. You can filter for tutors with the specific experience you’re looking for using our platform.
What if we're not happy with the first lesson?
We have a First Lesson Guarantee to give you complete peace of mind. If you don't feel that your tutor is the right fit after the first session, let us know at support@tutorful.co.uk, and we'll cover the cost of that lesson.
Is Functional Skills Level 2 really seen as equivalent to a GCSE?
A Level 2 Functional Skills qualification is widely accepted by employers and colleges as equivalent to a GCSE Grade 4 (or a C in the old system). It's a government-recognised qualification that proves your child’s competency in practical maths.
My child's confidence in maths is very low. Can a tutor help?
This is one of the most common reasons that parents come to us. The one-to-one environment of private tutoring means that our tutors are patient, encouraging, and celebrate small wins. By going at your child's pace, they can rebuild their confidence and change a negative mindset about maths.
How much does a Functional Skills Maths tutor cost?
Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications, typically starting from £20 per hour. You can use the search filters to find tutors who fit within your budget, and you can see their full pricing on their profile.
What kind of topics are covered in Functional Skills Maths?
The Functional Skills Maths curriculum focuses on applying maths principles to everyday scenarios. Key areas include working with percentages, fractions, and decimals; using measurements, area, and volume; and understanding and interpreting charts, graphs, and tables.
Will this qualification help my child get into college or an apprenticeship?
Many college courses and apprenticeship schemes require a GCSE or a Level 2 qualification in maths as a minimum entry requirement. Achieving a Functional Skills Maths qualification at level 2 can unlock important opportunities for your child.
