One to one support from specialist maths tutors
Here at Third Space Learning, our community of specialist maths tutors has been supporting primary school pupils across the country with online maths tuition since 2013, and secondary school pupils since 2021. We’re passionate about maths tutoring and our mission is to make sure as many pupils as possible have access to high-quality online lessons from experienced tutors.
Teachers and parents want what’s best for their pupils and children. When it comes to maths, we believe that means choosing a maths programme that’s delivered by maths specialists. All of our experienced tutors have undergone specific training in delivering one-to-one maths tutoring to key stage 2, 3 and 4 pupils.
How our online maths tuition has helped over 90,000 pupils exceed expectations
Developing key skills
Our online lessons give pupils the opportunity to talk through maths questions and build key numeracy skills with their own personal mathematics teacher.
Tutors ask questions like 'how did you work that out?' and 'could you use any other methods?' to ensure pupils have understood the underlying maths behind each question, not just a quick way to find the answer.
Boosting confidence
One of the biggest things that holds maths students back is a lack of confidence to try. With Third Space Learning's maths tutors, pupils have a safe place to attempt questions, even if that means making a mistake.
Instilling this confidence early on leaves pupils better prepared as they continue their school journey and tackle things like entrance exams, GCSEs and A-level maths assessments.
Practising in context
Whilst maths success extends beyond getting good grades, practising exam techniques is a great way to help children feel confident for any upcoming tests.
Our online lessons are designed to make sure pupils fully understand each topic before moving onto applying that knowledge to exam-style questions, helping to build familiarity and confidence.
Building engagement
In maths, if pupils don't feel engaged with the lesson then they are more likely to switch off and lose concentration.
And in a class of 30, it's not always easy for teachers to give each pupil the individual attention they might need to succeed. With Third Space Learning, pupils have the full attention of one private maths tutor, working at their own pace, building a rapport and making each lesson as engaging as possible by linking it back to their hobbies and interests.
Here’s how our one to one tuition works
Maths interventions for your pupils in school
- Let us know which and how many pupils you’d like to receive the online lessons. Pricing is calculated according to the number of pupils you’d like to support and full access to our library of maths resources to use across the school is available at no additional cost.
- Each pupil will sit an initial diagnostic assessment to help understand their individual maths gaps and personalise their learning programme. It will also help their personal tutor adapt the pitch and pace of each online lesson to suit the particular maths student they’re teaching.
- At the same time each week, at a time chosen by you, your pupils will receive a personalised online maths lesson with their own personal maths teacher. We make sure pupils work with the same qualified maths tutor each week, helping to build engagement, rapport and confidence. All tutors are fully background checked (DBS-equivalent).
- You're kept up to date with how each pupil is progressing through the online lessons in their personalised maths programme, with weekly and termly progress reports. Many teachers use these reports to help inform whole class planning and teaching.
- As well as the online tutoring, you'll have access to Third Space Maths Hub, our library of flexible and easy-to-use maths resources to help raise maths attainment across your whole school. The Maths Hub has an extensive range of lesson slides and worksheets to use in class from every KS2 topic from decimals to times tables, as well as a whole host of video CPD and SLT guides.

Third Space Learning encourages children to talk about their maths. It enables them to think aloud with the tutor and this then transfers to their independent work. It gives children much more confidence in their own maths ability!
The children love Third Space and it really supports what they do in class, filling in their gaps in learning and building their confidence. The fact that children have to speak with their tutor and explain their reasoning, develops confidence and their use of mathematical vocabulary.
Third Space Learning gives individual children personalised attention to their needs to move their confidence and academic achievement in maths forward.
Nothing but excellence. A personal service with brilliant tutors all of whom my little girl loves. Such a positive maths experience.
I researched a number of online sites before engaging TSL for maths tuition for my granddaughter. I have no complaints - the admin side went very smoothly and her tutor has been professional and patient. When I needed to change the time of a session this was arranged quickly. Above all the price is very reasonable.
