Strong problem-solving skills, from mastering algebra to understanding data, are essential for so many A-Level subjects, college courses, and apprenticeships. A good grade shows employers and admissions tutors that your child is a logical thinker who can tackle complex challenges – a vital skill for almost any career path they choose to follow.

How One-to-One Tutoring Helps Your Child Thrive in Maths
We believe the best learning happens when there's a real connection. That's why we help you find a tutor who not only knows the Maths GCSE syllabus inside out but also understands how to connect with your child. They'll take the time to learn what makes your child tick, what they find tricky, and build a supportive relationship that helps them feel confident asking questions. Forget one-size-fits-all lessons. Every online session is built around your child's specific goals. If they're struggling with quadratic equations, that's what the lesson will focus on. If they need to practise exam technique, their tutor will guide them through past papers. This targeted approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – and for GCSEs, we can help them improve by up to two. Juggling school, activities, and family life is hard enough. Our online platform makes finding support simple. You can connect with the UK's best background-checked tutors without leaving home, and schedule lessons at times that work for your family. It's expert help, made easy for you.

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.

I’ve had a really great experience with my maths tutor. They explain topics clearly and break things down in a way that’s easy to understand, even when the topic feels difficult at first. They’re patient, supportive, and always make sure I understand before moving on. Thanks to their help, my confidence in maths has improved a lot and I feel more comfortable tackling problems on my own. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking to improve their maths skills.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to go to Derby College or Nottingham College. Can a tutor help with the specific entry requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our Maths GCSE tutors have extensive experience helping students secure places at top colleges. They can focus on the specific topics and grades your child needs, helping them build the skills and confidence to submit a strong application and succeed in their future studies.
My child attends a local Ilkeston school. Are your tutors familiar with the curriculum they follow?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in all major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR, which are taught in schools across the Ilkeston area. They will work with your child to ensure lessons complement what they're learning in the classroom, helping to reinforce their understanding and fill any knowledge gaps.
How do I choose the right Maths GCSE tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. This helps ensure you find someone with the right teaching style and personality for your child.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence in Maths?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild your child's self-belief and help them see that they are capable of succeeding in Maths.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you have the perfect tutoring partnership. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online Maths GCSE tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience and qualifications. This allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor on our platform must pass an enhanced DBS background check before they can start teaching.
What happens in an online lesson?
Our online classroom is designed to be interactive and engaging. Your child and their tutor can talk using video chat, share files, and work through problems together on a shared whiteboard. It has all the benefits of face-to-face tutoring, with the convenience of learning from home.
How long are the sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are one hour long. We find this is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. Most parents find a weekly session works best to build momentum, but you can arrange a schedule that suits your child's needs and your family's routine.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like Maths?
While we love helping students with core subjects, we also believe in learning for life. You can find tutors for a huge range of skills on Tutorful, from learning to play the guitar or speaking Spanish, to mastering coding languages like Python.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can send them a message directly from their profile to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors can start within a day or two.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download.
