Maths Tutors in London | GCSE, A-Level & 11+

The 11+ tests problem-solving, not just arithmetic. Our tutors work through practice papers, timed exercises, and the specific question styles used by schools such as City of London, Westminster Under, and King’s College School. Most students see marked improvement in speed and confidence within six weeks.

We cover number fluency, percentages, ratios, fractions, and basic algebra—the foundations tested at 11+. For scholarship candidates, we include the more demanding problems that separate strong applicants from exceptional ones. Sessions are adapted to each child’s starting point, whether they need to build core understanding or tackle advanced problem-solving under time pressure.

GCSE mathematics covers statistics, geometry, algebra, and problem-solving across tiered papers. Our tutors assess where your child is now, identify gaps in understanding, and build from there. Most students improve their predicted grade by one to two levels.

We work with all exam boards—AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC. Beyond teaching content, we focus on exam technique: how questions are structured, how marks are awarded, and how to answer efficiently under timed conditions. Whether the goal is moving from a 5 to a 7 or securing a pass in a subject they have struggled with, the approach is the same: clear explanations, consistent practice, and steady progress.

A-Level mathematics is a step change from GCSE. Calculus, mechanics, and advanced algebra require not just new techniques but a different way of thinking. Our tutors—many with degrees in mathematics, engineering, or physics—explain how topics connect, not just how to solve individual problems.

This approach matters for students heading to university courses in engineering, economics, or the sciences, where mathematical reasoning is foundational. We cover all exam boards and work with students whether they need to consolidate understanding, improve exam performance, or prepare for STEP and MAT entrance tests.

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.

The cost of a maths tutor in London with Lionheart depends on factors such as the level being studied, as well as a student’s attainment. Our fees reflect the high calibre of our tutors and the care we take in matching them to your child’s unique requirements.
