Online tutoring in the United Kingdom

Online maths tutoring in the United Kingdom

Live lessons, your curriculum, your time zone

Taught to the mark scheme, by a tutor who knows the difference between what AQA, Edexcel and OCR reward. British time is only an hour behind Nigeria, so after school slots are straightforward.

Your curriculum, not a generic one

We cover Reception through Key Stage 5, Years 1 to 13. Tell us the school, the year group and the exam board, and we will confirm we can teach it before you pay anything.

  • Early Years and Key Stage 1 number work
  • Key Stage 2 SATs
  • 11 plus examination, and independent school entrance
  • GCSE Maths, Foundation and Higher: AQA, Edexcel and OCR
  • IGCSE Maths: Edexcel and Cambridge
  • A Level Maths and Further Maths: AQA, Edexcel and OCR
  • Functional Skills for adults

Lessons on your clock

Every lesson is booked in your local time. We teach from Nigeria, on West Africa Time, UTC+1, and we would rather tell you which slots we can hold every single week than promise a time we cannot keep.

Your time zone
GMT and BST, UTC+0 to UTC+1
Slots that work
After school, 4:00pm to 8:00pm UK time, and weekend mornings. That is 5:00pm to 9:00pm in Nigeria, so these are easy slots to get.

Also teaching

The same academy, the same tutor, in four other countries.

Learners in Nigeria can also attend in person at our centre. See the programmes.

Inside a session

What the hour actually looks like

1

Warm up

Five minutes on last week's topic, to check it stayed.

2

Teach

The new idea, worked on screen, slowly, with the learner talking through each step.

3

Try together

They lead, the tutor watches. Mistakes here are the point of the lesson.

4

Try alone

Questions from the worksheet, in their exercise book, camera on the page.

5

Set and send

Homework set, and a short note to the parent on how it went.

What parents in the United Kingdom ask

What does hybrid actually mean here?

You choose. Learners in Nigeria can attend classes at our centre, join the same class live online from home, or mix the two. Learners in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia join live online. Online means in the lesson as it happens, with the same teacher and the same worksheet, not watching a recording.

How do you handle the time difference?

Every lesson is booked in your local time, not ours. Australian and British families get the easiest slots. North American families are usually best served at weekends or early evening, and we will tell you honestly which times we can hold week after week rather than promising a slot we cannot keep.

Do you teach my child's curriculum?

We teach the Nigerian curriculum, the British curriculum including GCSE, IGCSE and A Level, the American curriculum through AP and the SAT, Canadian provincial curricula, and the Australian Curriculum through to the senior certificates. Tell us the school, the year group and the exam board and we will confirm before you pay anything.

How big are the classes?

Small enough that no learner can hide. Group classes are capped, and one to one sessions are exactly that, one learner and one tutor.

What does my child need to join online?

A phone, tablet or laptop, a stable connection and somewhere quiet to sit. Classes run on Zoom, with worksheets and homework in Google Classroom. A cheap A4 exercise book and a pen matter more than the device. We send the worksheet ahead of each lesson so nothing has to be downloaded mid class.

How do I pay from outside Nigeria?

By card, or by PayPal where that is normal. Fees are quoted and charged in US dollars wherever you are, so the figure you see on this site is the figure you pay. Learners in Nigeria pay in Naira at the day's rate.

What happens if a lesson is missed?

The lesson is recorded for the learners in that class, and the worksheet and worked solutions are sent afterwards. A missed one to one session can be moved if you tell us before the day.

How do you track progress?

Every learner is assessed before the first lesson so we know exactly where the gaps are. After that there is a short check at the end of each topic and a report to parents each term.

Start with a free assessment class

One lesson, no charge. We find out exactly where the gaps are, tell you honestly what we think, and you decide from there.
