Trusted, experienced maths tutors

Mathematics is undoubtedly one of the most useful subjects a child can study as it underpins everything from finance and engineering to science and technology. Perhaps even more importantly, it can teach students to think in a more logical and structured way, and when they understand it properly, they gain the confidence to analyse a wide range of problems outside of the classroom.

Many fundamental concepts of mathematics can be understood with ease when presented in the right way, and we know that building the foundational framework of the subject in areas like algebra and fractions is essential before taking on more difficult tasks like calculus.

Benefit from subject specialists

Since 1989, Lionheart has provided private mathematics tutors for families across London, throughout the UK and internationally. Having the right tutor for mathematics can make an immediate difference, which delivers lasting results.

At Lionheart Education, our London maths tutors combine the academic side of mathematics with the ability to explain key concepts and ideas clearly and with patience. Many of our tutors hold degrees in mathematics or relevant, related disciplines such as engineering or physics, while others bring years of experience working in technology or finance.

Maths Tuition

for all ages and levels including:

  • 11+ Preparation Maths Tutors

    One of the first academic milestones for children is the 11+ examinations, and it’s no surprise that mathematics is central to many school assessments. The style of questions and the problem-solving abilities tested can vary greatly to the work children normally encounter in their school lessons, so it pays to be prepared.

    Our primary maths tutors work closely with each child to prepare for these important examinations with structured, one-to-one tuition to build understanding and the quiet confidence to tackle any question. All of the bases for KS2, KS3, and 11+ mathematics are covered, including fluency in numbers, percentages, ratios, fractions, and understanding of basic algebra. You can also expect that the more challenging problems presented in the selective entrance papers and scholarship examinations will also be covered to give your child a unique advantage.

    In-person or online tutors for mathematics work with practice materials including past examination paper questions combined with timed exercises so your child can become familiar with the format and structure, and how their time in the test should be managed properly. This reduces anxiety about the unknown nature of examinations and gives your child the self-assurance that they can handle anything that comes up.

  • GCSE Maths Tutors

    GCSEs are the culmination of several years of schooling, with mathematics and English being the two most important foundational subjects. Students are required to be confident in a wide range of mathematical topics, including statistics, geometry, algebra, and complex problem-solving.

    Our GCSE maths tutors have a deep understanding of all the areas that need to be covered in the examinations, so after speaking with the child and assessing recent school work, they can create a bespoke plan. Tutors will quickly discover which areas your child is already excelling in and which areas have gaps in knowledge that need to be covered in greater detail, in a way that allows your child to gain better intuition and appreciation of mathematical principles.

    As our in-person and online maths tutors are familiar with all of the main UK examination boards, such as AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC, tutoring can be adapted, and students will learn exactly how exam questions are structured at GCSE level, how points are awarded, and how to answer efficiently under timed conditions. Whether it’s improving a predicted grade or securing a pass in this key subject, our one-to-one tutoring for maths GCSE provides the steady progress this topic demands.

  • A-Level Maths Tutors

    Maths tuition at A-level is often required as topics such as advanced algebra and calculus can be challenging for even the brightest of students, needing careful explanation in a way that they understand. A-level maths is often a big step up from GCSE-level mathematics, which can feel abrupt, so a maths tutor at this stage helps to bridge that gap.

    As our private tutors for maths at A-level have been chosen for their depth of subject knowledge, with many studying closely related disciplines, you can be sure that they are able to successfully guide your child through the conceptual side of mathematics as well as the attention to technical details.

    Guidance from professional private maths tutors in the subject ensures that your child doesn’t just learn each topic as a standalone set of rules to follow, but understands how mathematical ideas connect to each other. This is essential for further learning on courses related to engineering or physics, and it can make the difference between just passing mathematics at A-level to genuinely gaining mastery of the underlying principles that will serve them for life.

We offer both online and at-home maths tuition

Lionheart Education understands that every family is different and we will always aim to fit into your routine to make tuition easy. Many families prefer the convenience of online maths tuition, but others prefer home-learning in a comfortable environment for more focused study. We offer both formats so families can pick and choose the arrangement that suits them best.

As many of our tutors are London-based, we can arrange lesson delivery in person for mathematics alongside tuition in all other subjects. This is beneficial for students who prefer a quieter, more structured approach to learning with one-to-one home tuition sessions outside of school.

When you choose our online tuition for mathematics, our tutors use a wide selection of tools such as screen sharing and digital whiteboards so concepts and calculations can be explained clearly step by step. This type of study is ideal for families whose busy schedules or home location might make in-person lessons difficult to arrange. Online tutors are able to work with students attending boarding schools outside of their school day, to support their lessons.

Whether your child’s maths lesson is taking place at the kitchen table on a video call or in person at your home, our results-focused tuition is the same: steady progress in a key subject and a growing confidence in mathematical concepts.

Frequently asked questions

  • Will a private maths teacher travel to our home in London?

    Many of our Lionheart maths tutors are based in London, so we are able to provide first-class, in-person lesson delivery to families in London. This allows students to work in a familiar environment, which allows them to concentrate more and engage with the topic at hand. Maths tutors will bring all of the teaching materials required and adapt lessons based on the age and stage of your child. 

  • What GCSE maths grades do your tutors typically achieve for students?

    Mathematics results at GCSE can depend on a range of factors, including the time available for tuition before the examinations and a student’s commitment to the work. We focus on helping the child to develop a clear understanding of the principles at work and how to improve examination performance, and many students will see predicted grade improvement by at least one or two levels. 

  • Do you offer maths tuition for primary school children?

    Primary school is one of the best times to start maths tuition for children, as it’s at this stage that number fluency is beginning to develop. Whether it’s gaining knowledge of fractions, multiplication or division, our tutors will develop mathematical confidence in children, especially if they have started to feel frustrated or confused at school as more difficult problem-solving is required. 

  • How often should my child have maths tuition?

    For many students, one session with a dedicated maths tutor per week is enough to strengthen understanding and address any areas they’re finding difficult so they can progress to more difficult problems. Around examination periods, some families chose to increase mathematics tutoring sessions online or in person to two per week to solidify key concepts and feel confident in exam conditions.
