Peter T
Peter helped me understand the foundations of Complex Numbers in a single lesson. He clearly explained different forms, roots, De Moivre’s Theorem, and the Argand diagram. These topics had not made sense to me over the last four months at school. I already feel confident and encouraged. His teaching approach is clear and effective. I recommend him.

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in preparing students for their Higher exams. They can create a tailored plan focusing on the key topics and exam techniques needed to help your child secure the grade required for competitive university courses.
We live in West Lothian and my child attends a competitive school. How can a tutor help them keep up?
It can be stressful trying to keep pace. A personal tutor provides a calm, supportive space where your child can ask questions they might not ask in class. They can go over topics at your child's speed, helping them build a solid understanding and feel more confident at school.
How do I choose the right Maths tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profiles. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will get on with before booking your first session.
How much does an online Maths tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.

Confidence is key. A great tutor celebrates small wins and breaks down difficult problems into manageable steps. This one-to-one encouragement helps your child see they are capable, rebuilding their self-belief one lesson at a time.
