Primary · Mathematics
Primary 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 primary 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 and place value
Counting, reading and writing numbers, ordering and comparing, and understanding what each digit is worth.
The four operations
Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, including written methods and times tables recalled rather than worked out.
Fractions, decimals and percentages
Equivalence, comparing and ordering, and the arithmetic. This is the part that most often needs going back over.
Measurement, geometry and statistics
Length, mass, capacity, time and money; shape, position and angle; and reading tables and graphs.
Reasoning and problem solving
Word problems and multi-step questions, where the arithmetic is the easy half and working out what is being asked is the hard one.
What primary school asks for in maths
Primary school runs from Reception to Year 6. In England, national curriculum tests are sat at the end of Year 6, but most of what tuition is asked for at this age is the everyday work rather than the tests.
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.
