Find a Maths GCSE Tutor Who Understands Your Child
We know that every child learns differently. That’s why our tutors take the time to understand your child’s specific strengths and where they need a bit more help. They'll create a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and truly understanding the subject. It’s a partnership focused entirely on their progress. Forget one-size-fits-all lessons. Every session is planned around your child's individual needs. If they’re finding quadratic equations tricky, their tutor can spend the whole session on it, using examples that click for them. This focused approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – and for GCSEs, it can mean a boost of up to two grades. Juggling school, clubs, and family life is hard enough. Our online lessons fit around your schedule. You can find a brilliant, background-checked tutor from anywhere in the UK and connect from the comfort of your home in Dalkeith. All you need is a laptop and an internet connection to get started.

Tara A
I can’t recommend Tara enough! In just two months, she helped me improve my Maths GCSE grade from a 6 to a 7, which felt impossible before I started. Her teaching style is excellent—clear, patient, and really well-structured. She explains difficult topics in a way that actually makes sense and tailors lessons to focus on weaknesses while building confidence. Every session was productive and motivating, and I felt fully supported throughout. Thanks to her guidance, my understanding and exam technique improved massively. An outstanding tutor!

Greg S
Greg has been absolutely fantastic with my 14 year old son. He went from dreading learning to actually looking forward to sessions, which has been a huge shift for us.
Greg is highly empathetic and quickly understood Harry’s SEN profile, identifying areas of weakness and adapting his teaching style and pace to suit him perfectly. The one-to-one approach worked incredibly well for my son's anxiety, and as a result we’ve seen clear academic progress alongside a big boost in confidence.
He has also built a strong relationship with Greg in a short space of time and genuinely sees him as a trusted adult, which has made all the difference. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Greg to anyone looking for a tutor who truly understands and supports the individual child.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to study at Edinburgh College. Can a tutor help with the specific maths skills needed?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for further education. When you message a tutor, you can ask about their experience with college entry requirements and they can tailor lessons to build the specific skills and confidence your child needs for their chosen course.
Can tutoring help my child with their application for a university like Edinburgh Napier?
Yes, it can make a real difference. A great grade in a key subject like Maths is often a requirement for university entry. Our tutors can help your child master the subject material, develop strong study habits, and build the confidence they need to perform their best in exams, strengthening their application.
How do I choose the best Maths GCSE tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. It helps you get a feel for their teaching style and find someone your child will really connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is so important, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just 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 if they've lost confidence in Maths?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can work at their own pace without the pressure of a classroom. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help rebuild that self-belief, which often makes the biggest difference to their results.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
How much does a Maths GCSE tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you just pay for the lessons you book. This transparency helps you find great support that fits your family's budget.
We live in Dalkeith. How does online tutoring work for us?
Online tutoring offers fantastic flexibility for families in Dalkeith. Your child can connect with their tutor from home, saving you time on travel. Our interactive online classroom has a whiteboard, file sharing, and video chat, making lessons just as effective as being in the same room. It also gives you access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just those nearby.
Do you only offer academic subjects like Maths?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we love helping students with core subjects like Maths and English, we also have expert tutors for hobbies and professional skills, from learning the guitar or a new language to coding in Python.
What do we need for an online lesson?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download. It's designed to be easy to use for everyone.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress, especially when preparing for exams like the Maths GCSE. You're completely in control, though, and can arrange a schedule that works for your child and your family directly with your tutor.
How do I know if tutoring is working?
You'll likely see the benefits in a few ways. Firstly, you might notice your child's confidence growing – they might be less anxious about maths homework or more willing to speak up in class. Your tutor will also provide you with regular feedback on their progress, and ultimately, you should see an improvement in their test results and school reports.
