Personalised Maths Support That Works for Your Family
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That's why we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. Our tutors are experts not just in Maths, but in understanding how to connect with young people. They take the time to learn how your child thinks, pinpointing exactly where they need help and building a supportive relationship that helps them feel confident asking questions. Every online lesson is built around your child. If they're struggling to get their head around quadratic equations for their GCSEs, the session will focus on that. If they need to practise exam technique to turn a grade 5 into a 7, their tutor will create a plan to get them there. It's this dedicated, one-to-one attention that means we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades. Juggling school, activities, and family life is hard enough. Our online platform makes finding support simple. You can connect with the best background-checked tutors from across the UK, without leaving home. Lessons can be scheduled at times that suit you, making it easy to fit extra Maths help into your busy week. It's why over 200,000 students have found success with us.

Experienced and effective Maths Tutor
I am an experienced tutor and have been working in Somerset for the last fifteen years.

Eve B
Eve has been tutoring my 10 year old in maths for 4 months, and she's excellent.
She is kind and engaging with my child, and during lessons she is a thoughtful tutor, working patiently and methodically - discovering the real reasons my child was struggling with particular topics.
She's also a great communicator with parents.

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

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is set on studying STEM subjects at Truro and Penwith College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE Maths grade?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for parents we support. Our Maths tutors are experienced in the GCSE curriculum and can create a tailored plan to target the specific grades your child needs for college entry, focusing on weak areas and building their exam technique.
We're hoping our child can go to a top university like Exeter or Bath. How can Maths tutoring support this long-term goal?
A strong GCSE and A-Level in Maths is critical for entry to competitive STEM and Economics courses at leading universities. A tutor can build a solid foundation right from the start, ensuring your child develops the deep understanding and problem-solving skills needed to stand out and succeed in their applications.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right connection is key to learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right Maths tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many parents message a few tutors first to discuss their child's needs. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable with.
My child’s confidence in Maths is very low. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. In a safe, supportive space, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, which helps rebuild confidence step by step.
How much does online Maths tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile with no hidden costs.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our priority. We interview every tutor and they must all pass an enhanced background check. We only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best tutors in the UK.
Can a tutor really help improve my child's GCSE Maths grade?
Yes, they really can. Focused, one-to-one support makes a huge difference. In fact, our data shows we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades, helping them secure the results they need for their next steps.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons happen in our online classroom, which has video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home, with all their lesson notes saved in one place.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, you can arrange sessions as often as you and your tutor feel is needed, especially in the run-up to exams.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and goals. Seeing your child's confidence grow is often the first and most important sign.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we help thousands of students with core subjects like Maths and English, we also have expert tutors for hobbies and professional skills. Your child could learn anything from guitar and piano to coding and Spanish.
