FAQs

The first step is to book a short consultation call. This allows us to understand your child’s needs and recommend the most suitable support.

Following this, we will confirm lesson options, complete registration, and arrange the first session.

Book a Call

The consultation allows me to understand your child’s current level, identify any gaps, and recommend the most suitable support. This ensures lessons are structured and effective from the very beginning.

If we decide to move forward, I will guide you through the next steps, including suitable lesson options and current availability.

You will then be asked to complete a registration form so your child’s profile can be set up, and their first lesson can be confirmed.

Rather than offering a standalone trial, I begin with a consultation call to ensure the right fit and approach. Where appropriate, the first lesson is then used to assess your child’s understanding and begin structured support.

Yes, students are welcome to join the call. This can be especially helpful as it allows me to understand how they communicate, their confidence level, and how they approach Maths.

For some students, a short introduction is enough, while others may benefit from being more involved in the discussion.

If you have any further questions or would like to discuss your child’s needs, you are welcome to get in touch to arrange a call.

• Foundation Programme (1:1): personalised support for students who need to build confidence and address gaps
• Progression Programme (Group): structured lessons for students ready to develop consistency and improve their skills alongside others

Groups are kept small (maximum of 4 students) and are organised based on level and ability to ensure all students can engage and make progress.

Groups are carefully organised by level.

During lessons, support is provided through:

• guided questioning
• structured tasks
• targeted feedback

This ensures all students are able to engage and make progress.

Lessons are structured and focused. They include:

• explanation of key concepts
• guided practice
• exam-style questions
• feedback and discussion

Group lessons also include a short homework review at the start.

Lessons are planned based on your child’s current level, areas of difficulty, and the topics they need support with.

Students are expected to send the topic they would like help with at least 24 hours before each lesson. This allows sessions to be focused, well-prepared, and effectiv

We support students across all major UK exam boards, including Edexcel, AQA, and OCR, ensuring alignment with current specifications.

Lessons are typically 1 hour long. This provides enough time to explore topics in depth while maintaining focus and engagement.

Lessons are delivered online using interactive tools such as Lessonspace, alongside TutorBird for lesson management.

Students can write, solve, and interact in real time, creating a structured and engaging learning experience.

Lessons are interactive and structured, with a focus on:

• guided questions
• active participation
• regular feedback

Students are encouraged to explain their thinking and remain actively involved throughout the session.

Students are encouraged to have their camera on, as it helps create a more interactive and supportive learning environment.

However, this is not enforced, and flexibility is given where needed.

If technical issues arise during a session, we work to resolve them as quickly as possible.

If the issue significantly affects the lesson, appropriate arrangements will be made.

Parents can support online maths tutoring by ensuring a quiet learning environment, encouraging active participation, and maintaining regular communication with the tutor.

Consistency between sessions plays a key role in long-term progress.

For a full guide, see how to get the most out of online maths tutoring.

Most students benefit from one consistent session per week, supported by structured practice between lessons.

In the lead-up to exams, additional sessions can help reinforce exam technique and address specific areas of difficulty.

Students should complete any work set, revisit challenging topics, and practise exam-style questions regularly.

This helps consolidate learning and ensures steady progress over time.

I aim to adapt lessons to suit each student’s individual learning style, pace, and needs. Lessons are structured but flexible, with a focus on building confidence, clarity, and consistency.

If your child has specific learning needs, this can be discussed during the consultation call so we can determine the most appropriate approach.

Yes. When delivered with structure and active participation, online maths tutoring can be just as effective as in-person support.

Many students also benefit from learning in a familiar environment, which can improve focus and confidence.

• Group tuition: students are given optional exam-style questions to reinforce learning
• 1:1 tuition: the focus is on in-session understanding, though students may be guided on what to practise independently

Homework is reviewed in lessons to support understanding rather than simply checking completion.

Progress is monitored throughout lessons, with structured assessments during the year.

Parents receive clear feedback outlining:

• • strengths
  • areas for improvement
  • next steps

Yes, students can send questions where needed, and these can be addressed during lessons or through brief guidance where appropriate.

Due to the structured nature of the programme, missed lessons are not usually rescheduled. However, guidance can be provided on what was covered so students can catch up.

At least 24 hours’ notice is required for any changes or cancellations.

Late cancellations may be charged, as lesson time is reserved in advance.

Payment is made via bank transfer once a place has been confirmed. This secures your child’s space in the programme.
