Engaging, patient and friendly Maths tutor
Hi, my name is Candaice (pronounced as 'can-deese') and I graduated with a Masters of Science (MSci) in Mathematical Biology at University of Dundee. I have 3 years of tutoring experience and 1 year of SEND focused tutoring. I first fell in love with maths during my Scottish Highers (AS/A-level equivalent) when I was introduced to the application of calculus and algebra to scientific processes. Despite the interesting knowledge gained from this, I believe it is pivotal to provide a strong base knowledge of maths and biology before entering in higher levels, such as Highers/A-levels and uni.From...

How can a GCSE Maths tutor help my child achieve a strong National 5 pass in Edinburgh?

Our online GCSE Maths tutors in Edinburgh understand the academic expectations your child faces. They provide tailored support to clarify concepts, practice exam techniques for National 5, and build the foundational skills needed for success, ensuring your child is well-prepared for their exams and future studies.

Will a tutor help my child prepare for S5 Highers and university applications to places like Edinburgh University?

Absolutely. A strong National 5 Maths result is crucial for progression to S5 Highers, especially for STEM subjects. Our tutors can help your child build the confidence and understanding required for these next steps, setting them up for successful applications to competitive universities, including the University of Edinburgh and other Russell Group institutions.

Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we specialise in academic subjects like GCSE Maths, Tutorful also offers a wide range of tutors for other skills. Your child could explore creative writing, learn to play a musical instrument, or even pick up a new language – all online, from the comfort of your home.

What if my child doesn't get along with their first tutor?

We want you and your child to feel completely comfortable. 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. We're here to help you find the perfect match.

How do I pick the best GCSE Maths tutor for my child?

You can browse our extensive list of expert online GCSE Maths tutors, filter by experience, price, and specialisms. Each tutor has a detailed profile including their qualifications, teaching approach, and reviews from other parents, helping you make an informed decision for your child.

How much does GCSE Maths tutoring typically cost?

Tutor rates can vary based on their experience and qualifications, but you'll find a range of prices to suit your budget. Tutors set their own hourly rates, and you can see these clearly on their profiles before you book, ensuring transparency.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence in Maths?

One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgment. Tutors adapt their teaching to your child's pace, celebrating small wins and gradually tackling challenging topics like trigonometry or problem-solving, which naturally boosts their self-belief and reduces anxiety.

What makes Tutorful's online learning effective for Maths GCSE?

Our online classroom is designed for engaging learning. It features an interactive whiteboard for working through equations together, video chat for face-to-face interaction, and all lessons are recorded so your child can revisit them anytime for revision, making complex concepts much easier to master.

You can start browsing and messaging tutors straight away! Many tutors are available for lessons within a few days, and some even for same-day bookings, so you can get your child the support they need without delay.

Absolutely. Our tutors are experts across the entire GCSE Maths curriculum. Whether your child is struggling with linear equations in algebra, understanding probability in statistics, or mastering geometry theorems, a tutor can focus precisely on those areas for targeted improvement.

How does Tutorful ensure the quality of its GCSE Maths tutors?

We're very selective. We only accept 1 in 8 tutor applicants, and every tutor undergoes a thorough vetting process, including enhanced background checks and interviews. Plus, our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100+ customer reviews speaks to the quality of their teaching.
