Frequently asked questions
How much does GCSE maths tutoring from Skye cost?
Secondary schools receive yearly access to unlimited online GCSE maths tuition from the GCSE maths tutor for Year 10, 11 and resit students for just five thousand pounds. Unlike traditional maths tutors who charge per session, Skye provides unlimited one-to-one maths tuition for one fixed annual cost. Most maths tutors cost between twenty and forty pounds per hour per student; with Skye, every GCSE student who needs maths tuition can access a full course of learning support.
What GCSE maths topics and exam boards does Skye cover?
Skye covers all major topics across the GCSE maths curriculum and course, including Algebra, Number, Geometry, Ratio and Proportion, Probability, and Statistics. The maths GCSE course content is aligned with all major exam boards including AQA, Edexcel and OCR, so teachers using different exam boards can be confident the online tutoring covers the same curriculum and subject content their students face in their GCSE maths exams.
How does Skye compare to traditional GCSE maths tutors?
Traditional maths tutors are typically graduates or qualified teachers with a degree in mathematics or a related subject such as engineering, physics or computer science. Many maths tutors hold a bachelor or masters degree and have years of experience tutoring GCSE students through their exams. Skye replicates the qualities of a good maths tutor, adapting to each student’s learning needs, providing scaffolded support and building confidence session by session. The difference is cost: traditional maths tutors typically charge twenty to forty pounds per hour, while Skye provides unlimited online maths tuition for one fixed annual price. Where individual maths tutors can only support a handful of students, Skye makes one-to-one support accessible to every child who needs it.
What revision support does Skye offer for GCSE maths exams?
Skye provides focused GCSE maths revision through a structured course of online lessons. Students work through GCSE maths exam questions from past papers and practice papers, building exam technique for both calculator and non-calculator exams. Teachers can re-order the course to prioritise revision of specific areas ahead of mock exams or the final GCSE maths exams. Every lesson draws on mark schemes and exam-style questions, giving students the revision practice and preparation they need. Schools using Skye as part of their maths intervention programmes report that students significantly improve their confidence and achieve higher grades.
Can Skye help GCSE students who are falling behind in class?
Yes. Many GCSE students find it hard to keep up in a large maths class, and Skye gives every child the focused support they need to make progress. Each student receives a personalised course of online GCSE maths lessons targeting their specific skill set and target grade. Skye identifies gaps in knowledge and provides targeted hints to help students learn and answer questions with growing confidence. Learners who previously lacked confidence in class show measurable progress when they join regular online tutoring sessions, and schools hope to see this reflected in improved GCSE outcomes.
Does the tutoring help prepare for the calculator and non-calculator papers?
Yes. Skye helps develop the essential maths skills students need for both calculator and non-calculator GCSE maths exams. Students practise answering exam questions across all areas of the maths GCSE course, building fluency and exam technique with all the tools and methods they need.
Can teachers join or observe online GCSE maths tutoring sessions?
Yes. The observe feature enables teachers to join online GCSE maths tutoring sessions in real-time. This gives teachers visibility of how each child is learning and how Skye adapts its teaching. Teachers can monitor progress and review sessions ahead of exams.
Can GCSE students use Skye to study maths independently?
Yes. Maths GCSE tuition can be scheduled into the school day or launched on-demand. Students can start additional maths GCSE practice sessions with Skye at any point, giving other students the opportunity to access support alongside their class learning.
Can GCSE maths tuition take place at home?
Yes. Skye provides online support for studying GCSE mathematics at home. Online maths GCSE tutoring sessions can be launched on-demand, including from home, so every child can continue their revision and learning outside of class. Parents or other adults can oversee the online maths tuition if they wish.
Is Skye available as an A level maths tutor or for further maths?
No. Skye is only available as a primary and GCSE maths tutor and is not currently available for A level students, further maths or other qualifications. Students studying maths at A level or related subjects such as physics, chemistry or engineering would need to find other maths tutors for that level.
Is the AI maths tutor available for primary school too?
Yes. We also offer primary maths tutoring with Skye for pupils from Year 4 to Year 6, including a SATs revision programme. Skye provides the same personalised online one-to-one maths tutoring for primary as for GCSE, helping younger learners build confidence and close gaps in their learning.
Is Skye available for other GCSE subjects?
No. Skye has been specifically trained to help pupils learn maths and develop numeracy skills. Skye is not available for other GCSE subjects such as English, science or computer science. Our focused approach to maths education means every online lesson, every teaching strategy and every course of content has been designed by specialist maths teachers.
