I am 64 and have spent most of my working life caring for children and young people. My education in Maths went up to Degree level at Sheffield University.

We’re so pleased with my son’s first maths tutoring session this evening. He was quite nervous beforehand, but he finished smiling and said he really enjoyed it! The tutor made him feel comfortable straight away and explained everything in a way that really clicked for him. It’s so nice to see him feeling more confident already. We’re really looking forward to the next session. Highly recommend

Joseph I
Joseph has made a powerful impact on my son’s confidence and performance in GCSE Maths. His sessions are focused, precise, and entirely exam-driven. He works directly with past papers, marking schemes, and timing strategies, ensuring that every minute is purposeful and aligned with exam success.
What truly sets Joseph apart is his ability to make complex exam expectations feel clear and manageable. My son leaves each session energised, confident, and believing in his ability. That shift in mindset has been just as important as the technical improvement.
Joseph is calm, direct, and exceptionally effective at breaking things down into clear steps. He creates an environment where my son feels understood and capable, which has translated into stronger performance under pressure.
We are incredibly grateful for his support during this critical GCSE period and would highly recommend him to any student who needs structured, high-level exam preparation delivered with clarity and professionalism.

Adrian P
We are incredibly grateful for Adrian’s support. From the very first session, he made a significant difference. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid,” which shows how powerful that first experience was. Adrian helped him understand in one session what he had struggled to grasp over the previous six months at school.
Since starting with Adrian, my son has moved from a grade 1 to a grade 4 in Maths within three months, with just one and a half hours of tutoring per week. That progress speaks for itself.
Adrian is structured, clear, and focused. He explains concepts in a way that builds both understanding and confidence. My son feels capable in his sessions and leaves feeling empowered rather than overwhelmed.
We are continuing with Adrian and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for effective, exam-focused maths support delivered with professionalism and consistency.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a top sixth form in Durham. Can a tutor help them get the Maths grade they need?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades, like a 7 or higher. They can focus on the exact topics and exam techniques your child needs to strengthen their application for competitive local sixth forms.
We live in Durham and my child hopes to go to Durham University. How important is their Maths GCSE grade?
A strong Maths GCSE grade is a key building block. It's often a prerequisite for the A-Level subjects that top universities, including Durham, look for in applicants for science, engineering, and economics courses. A tutor can help your child build that solid foundation for future success.
How do I choose the right Maths GCSE tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to building their confidence.
How much does Maths GCSE tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically start from around £25 per hour. You can see each tutor's rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a two-way video call, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is ID and background-checked before they can join our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child if they lack confidence in Maths?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to say 'I don't understand' without feeling embarrassed. A tutor can break down topics into manageable steps, celebrate small wins, and show your child that they are capable of succeeding.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor, with no contracts or commitments.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you informed of your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. Often, the first sign of progress is your child feeling more positive and confident about their Maths lessons at school.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all academic areas from primary to university level, we also have expert tutors who can teach skills like coding, playing the guitar, learning a new language, or even public speaking.
How reliable is Tutorful? What do other parents say?
