Secondary maths tutoring programmes
Online one to one tutoring to close gaps, accelerate progress and raise GCSE maths grades
My confidence in Third Space Learning is high. We’ve had some phenomenal results from using the one to one tutoring, we even had one girl who was on a grade 5 get a grade 8. It only enhances their mathematical education. It’s incredible – both for students and for staff.

Choose your students and schedule; rotate or add students whenever you need
Scaffolded one to one lessons created by teachers
Our team of former secondary maths teachers have created a range of programmes across suitable for KS3 and GCSE.
All lessons follow an ‘I do, we do, you do’ approach to build conceptual understanding.
View KS3 Programmes
Boost GCSE maths grades
Programmes are available to support students as they progress through KS3 and KS4.
Personalised maths tutoring helps students make faster progress towards their target GCSE maths grade.
Identify and address individual gaps
Diagnostic assessments at the start of the programme let tutors and teachers know where each student needs most support.
Tutors use formative assessments to adapt the pathway through each lesson, providing opportunities to recap prior learning if pupils need or skipping straight to independent practice if they’re ready.
Teachers can review and re-order lessons at any point
One to one support for more pupils
With Third Space Learning, multiple students receive personalised one to one maths support all at the same time.
Maths teachers no longer have to continously address individual gaps and have more time to do what they do best – teach!
Built by maths teachers
Our team of former secondary maths teachers and maths specialists have built all KS3&4 maths tutoring programmes in line with the latest research and best practice.
Tutor training, lessons, assessments and programme structure are regularly reviewed to ensure maximum impact for students.
Delivered by maths specialists
All secondary tutors are graduates in STEM subjects, are fully background-checked and undergo a rigorous application.
Each tutor completes our intensive tutor training programme and receives regular and ongoing CPD.
Money-back guarantee
We know your staff and students will love it.
If you don’t, we’ll give you 100% of your money back if you’re not happy within the first 6 weeks.

Let’s learn
After an opportunity to recap prior learning if they need it, students are introduced to the concept
Follow me + your turn
Students work through a scaffolded example with their tutor before trying a similar question on their own
You do
A carefully sequenced next question ensures students can apply knowledge to different contexts
Go further
This gives students an opportunity to apply their knowledge to problem solving and reasoning questions
Try this exam style question
The first question enables tutors to assess understanding of the topic
Let’s go through this together
If needed, scaffolded slides help students explore how to approach the question
Your turn
Students get opportunities to apply their knowledge independently
Ready for a challenge?
If their tutor is confident they’ve grasped the topic, students can take it even further
