KS3 · Mathematics
KS3 maths tuition, online and one to one.
Maths is cumulative in a way most subjects are not: nearly every new topic leans on an older one, so a gap left in place does not stay where it was put. It reappears later, inside a question that looks like it is about something else.
Tell us what your child is working on and we will find them a KS3 maths tutor. Every tutor holds an enhanced DBS check, has been interviewed by our school staffing team, and teaches in a recorded session in your browser.

The syllabus, in plain English
What maths covers
Depth and emphasis differ between levels and between exam boards, and your child's school decides both. If you are not sure which part is going wrong, this is the shortlist to read down before you tell us.
Number
Fractions, decimals and percentages, place value, rounding and estimation, indices and standard form. Everything else leans on it.
Algebra
Expanding and factorising, rearranging formulae, solving linear, simultaneous and quadratic equations, sequences, and reading and sketching graphs.
Ratio and proportion
Sharing in a ratio, direct and inverse proportion, percentage change and reverse percentages, and compound measures such as speed and density.
Geometry and measures
Angle reasoning, area and volume, Pythagoras and trigonometry, circles, transformations, congruence and similarity, and constructions.
Probability
Listing outcomes, relative frequency, tree diagrams, Venn diagrams, and independent, dependent and conditional events.
Statistics
Averages from lists and tables, cumulative frequency and box plots, scatter graphs and correlation, and reading data critically rather than only plotting it.
What Key Stage 3 asks for in maths
Key Stage 3 is Years 7, 8 and 9: the three years between primary school and the start of GCSE courses. It is where the foundations the GCSE then assumes are actually laid, and a gap left in it tends to surface again in Year 10.
There is no national exam at the end of Key Stage 3. Schools assess it in their own way, so a school report is the thing to read rather than a national scale.
Tell us where your child is now and what they are working towards when you tell us about them. Both are optional — plenty of families have never been given a target, and a guess is no help to a tutor — and whatever you say goes to the tutor with everything else.
Wherever you are in the United Kingdom
Every session runs online, in our own video room in your browser. There is nothing to download and nothing to install, nobody comes to your house, and nobody has to be driven anywhere on a school night. It does not matter where in the United Kingdom you live: the tutors on this page are the tutors available to you.
Tutor and child work on the same whiteboard, which updates for both of them as they write, and whatever is on it at the end is saved to the session. The lesson is recorded, and you can watch your own child’s sessions back from your account.
A maths tutor is still an adult alone with your child.
Tuition means somebody your family has never met spending an hour a week with your child, unsupervised. That is the problem this platform was built around, and it is why the vetting is not a page in the small print.
Read our full safeguarding policyEnhanced DBS, every tutor
Every tutor on the platform holds an enhanced DBS check. We do not make exceptions and we do not allow grace periods.
Interviewed before they teach
Our school staffing team interviews every tutor before they take a single session. They are the same people who vet and place staff in UK schools.
Every session recorded
Sessions are recorded and retained for safeguarding review, so there is always a record of what happened in a lesson. You can watch your own child's sessions back from your account. The tutor cannot.
Continuously monitored
Vetting is not a one-off. If a tutor's clearance lapses they come off the platform automatically, and they cannot teach again until it is back in place and verified by us.
Nothing happens off the platform
Every session runs in our own video room in the browser, and personal contact details are never exchanged between a tutor and a family.
