IGCSE and GCSE Maths Tuition
With over two hundred GCSE maths tutors to choose from, we will match you with the maths tutor best suited to your child’s specific needs. Expert GCSE private tutors will help your child to develop increased independence and confidence in working at speed and under exam conditions. This may also include working with past papers and learning tried and tested techniques for maths revision.
We introduce the highest quality, experienced and trusted private tutors for the foundation tier and higher tier in GCSE and IGCSE mathematics. Your child will require a strong foundation in geometry, algebra, trigonometry, probability and statistics. The tutors have access to a wide range of GCSE and IGCSE past papers.
A Level Maths Tuition
Building from a solid foundation in GCSE or IGCSE mathematics, A Level maths tuition can be really valuable for those who find bridging the gap between GCSE and A Level particularly challenging. Personalised teaching from expert maths tutors can provide a confidence boost that will create a virtuous circle of engagement at school and a curiosity and determination to face the more challenging areas of the course.
Whether you are looking for private maths tuition to boost your child’s maths confidence, help with A Level maths revision ahead of mock exams or final A Level exams, or to guide your son or daughter with content they have missed at school, we will introduce you to an expert tutor to suit their specific needs. Should you need a team of A Level tutors to support with other subjects, we would introduce you to individual subject specialists or a physics and maths tutor since the two subjects are often studied together.
(IB) International Baccalaureate Maths Tuition
Finding the right IB maths tutor, is quick with our transparent and bespoke approach to introducing you to exactly the right tutors. It might be important to you that the IB maths tutor you engage is a qualified subject teacher, an IB examiner or a former IB student (who has scored at least 38+ Diploma points). We only work with expert tutors who provide home maths tuition and will provide structured support in learning the maths skills required to excel in the challenging IB course.
One-to-one IB maths tuition will boost your son or daughter’s confidence so that they can approach the full course, including their maths Internal Assessments (IAs) independently and with enthusiasm. We introduce private tutors to guide IB students on any of their Group 5 choices; mathematics HL, maths SL, maths studies SL and further mathematics HL.
Whether you are looking for private maths tuition to reignite a passion for the subject, to help with maths revision ahead of mocks or final IB exams, or to guide your child with content they have missed at school, we will introduce you to an expert tutor to suit their specific needs and learning style. If you are studying maths as part of the Middle Years Programme (MYP) we will also be able to introduce you to a suitably experienced tutor meet your specific needs and provide home maths tuition at this level too.
To book an IB maths tutor and discuss your requirements in more detail, please contact one of our tuition consultants or use our online enquiry form further down this page.
Pre-U Maths Tuition
Pre-U (CIE) Mathematics and Cambridge Pre-U Further Mathematics students are required to acquire skills in Pure Maths, Mechanics and Statistics that they will be able to apply in a wide range of contexts.
Pre-U maths tutors at your home will teach at a pace that works best for your child and help with revision and wider learning. The expert private maths tutors we introduce will be building from a solid foundation in GCSE or IGCSE Mathematics and help to bridge the gap to this much more complex and challenging curriculum.
We work with talented mathematicians who are expert private tutors and can also help your children to prepare for the university admissions process, including The Test of Mathematics for Cambridge University admissions and Maths Admissions Test for admission to Oxford University.
University Level Maths Tuition
The expert mathematicians and private maths tutors we work with can help students seeking guidance with any part of their undergraduate maths course. Usually private tutors will help you to get you back on track if you have slipped behind with your studies, if you are struggling with undergraduate study skills, or if you have transferred from a different course.
Your work with a tutor can focus on computational projects or the examinable course content including vectors and matrices, differential equations, probability, vector calculus, dynamics and relativity, optimisation or variational principles. To unsure expert advice is provided we may introduce you to more than one subject specialist.
Common Entrance Maths Tuition
We introduce the highest quality maths tutors who will guide your son or daughter through their Independent Schools Examination Board (ISEB) Common Entrance curriculum. The experienced Common Entrance maths tutors we work with are all familiar with the entrance criteria for the leading schools, including City of London, Eton, Harrow, Westminster, St Paul’s and King’s College School.
Preparing for the Common Entrance ISEB examinations as part of your child’s progression to their senior school can be a very challenging time. An experienced private tutor will help your child to prepare for the rigorous exams. They must be confident in all areas of the maths paper, including algebra, problem solving, number, calculations, handling data and shape, space and measure.
To ensure your child fully benefits from their course of tuition, it is important that they work with a tutor who compliments their character and learning style. Our bespoke tutor introduction service is guaranteed to match your child with a tutor who is the right fit for them.
London Maths Tutors
Maths Tutors are in particularly high demand during the run up to 11 Plus and GCSE and A Level examinations, so we recommend booking one during the Spring or Summer holidays, when their diaries are clearing. We are able to introduce maths tutors to families living in central London locations such as Chelsea, Kensington, Notting Hill, Westminster and Mayfair. For families who live further afield, tutors can provide lessons in person (but it may take longer for us to find a tutor who is willing to do this). More typically they ask that students meet them at a central location such as a library or quiet cafe, or they offer to provide lessons online.
