Why a Strong GCSE Maths Grade is So Important
GCSE Maths is more than just a qualification; it’s a key that unlocks your child's future. Top sixth form colleges often require a high grade in Maths for entry into sought-after A-Level courses, which in turn are the foundation for competitive degrees at universities like Exeter and Bristol. Mastering topics like algebra and trigonometry doesn't just build numeracy skills—it develops the logical thinking that will help your child succeed in whatever path they choose.

My son feels motivated, supported, and increasingly confident in his math's skills. My son genuinely enjoy the lessons and is very happy to continue learning. James’ ability to break down complex problems and adapt explanations to the student’s level has made a huge difference.
Overall, an excellent mathematics teacher—knowledgeable, patient, and truly dedicated to helping students succeed. Highly recommended!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Richard Huish College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE Maths grade?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can focus specifically on the topics and exam techniques needed to secure the higher grades required for competitive colleges. They can help your child build the confidence and skills to meet those entry requirements.
We live in Ilminster, are the tutors familiar with the standards expected by colleges in Taunton and Yeovil?
While our tutors are based across the UK, they are all specialists in the national curriculum (e.g., AQA, Edexcel). They have extensive experience helping students achieve the grades needed for entry into popular and high-achieving sixth form colleges, and can tailor lessons to meet that goal.
How do I choose the right Maths tutor for my child?
It’s easy to find the perfect fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check qualifications, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in Maths?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to say 'I don't get it' without any classroom pressure. Tutors can go over topics as many times as needed, in different ways, until it clicks.
How much does online Maths tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find an experienced, background-checked tutor that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes. We take safety very seriously. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We also interview every applicant and are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 who apply to ensure the highest quality.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. Tutors use this to work through problems, explain concepts, and practice exam questions with your child in real-time.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find that one session a week is effective for steady progress, but you can arrange lessons as often as you feel your child needs them. It's completely flexible.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, pick up a new language, or even learn skills like coding, you can find an expert tutor for it here.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours. Simply browse for a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you could have your first lesson booked for this week.
What equipment do we need for online tutoring?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. There's no special software to install as everything runs in your web browser.
