An Online Maths Tutor Means A Personalised Lesson For Every Student
If we were to ask you or your colleagues which students would benefit from an online maths tutor you’d be able to give us their names straightaway. We know this because we hear it from teachers and school leaders every day.
Teachers are busy, with 29 other students to look after.
With a personal online maths tutor for each of those target students, they can have expert support targeted specifically to their own misconceptions and gaps.
Third Space Learning offers personalised, one-to-one online maths tuition that’s proven to boost confidence and results in primary and secondary school
I love that the sessions can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual and that the children have the same tutor for every session. The 1:1 sessions really help develop confidence in speaking and listening – as well as in mathematics. It’s really user friendly and the Third Space staff are always on hand to offer support or advice.

As well as the high-quality tutoring, you receive full access to our extensive library maths resources and CPD for KS1, KS2, KS3 and KS4, helping you raise maths attainment across the school, not just those those students receiving the tuition.
A cost-effective way for every child to receive their own maths tutor
Online maths specialists
Your pupils are taught by tutors who are maths specialists, trained to deliver effective and engaging one-to-one maths lessons. Each tutor has:
- Or is studying for a degree in maths, further maths, physics, or a related STEM field
- Completed our rigorous 20-30-hour initial training programme
- Ongoing professional development and support
- Enhanced DBS checks and international equivalents
High quality curriculum lessons
Students follow a programme of high-quality online lessons, built around well researched pedagogies including plenty of scaffolding and retrieval practice. All curriculum maths topics are covered, from place value and fractions to simultaneous equations and trigonometry. Tutors guide students through problem-solving strategies and exam techniques specific to AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam boards.
Exam-style questions and techniques
In the dedicated exam preparation programmes such as our SATs and GCSE maths tuition, students receive multiple opportunities to practise applying their knowledge to exam-style questions. Tutors guide students through problem-solving strategies and exam techniques specific to AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam boards.
Diagnostic assessment
This is offered to every pupil before their first lesson to identify their gaps and misconceptions and to provide a benchmark for our personalised impact report for each student at the end.
Affordable one to one tutoring
Your budgets are tighter than ever. And yet one to one tutoring is proven to be so much more effective than group tutoring, so we make sure that your students can still receive DfE-approved one to one tutoring — for the price other providers charge for group sessions.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best online maths tutoring programme?
We believe Third Space Learning is the best online maths tutoring programme because it combines our many years of experience teaching maths online with the power of technology to connect expert maths teachers with the children in the UK who need support. We are also 100% focused on the needs of primary and secondary schools that follow the national curriculum for KS2, KS3, and KS4 maths. We don’t provide private maths tutors for home zoom tutoring sessions; all our lessons take place using an online whiteboard in our own dedicated online classroom, and we don’t teach any other subjects such as Physics or English.
Are online tutors worth it?
Online tutors are definitely worth it if you can get a personalised one-to-one tuition session from a qualified teacher or specialist tutor with good teaching experience. In fact, they have lots of benefits over other kinds of tutors such as face-to-face or group tutors. For a start, you have a much wider range of tutors available to you instead of just being reliant on an intervention lead in your school or the tutors who can travel to you. It is also often easier to provide multiple tutors online at the same time. Online tutors supported by training and a structured sequence of lessons can provide a much more targeted and focused tuition session for learners than a one-off in-person tutor.
How much does a maths tutor cost in the UK?
A maths tutor in the UK can range from approximately £20 per hour to £60 per hour or more. Using online maths tutors from Third Space Learning is on average about 50% cheaper than running one-to-one interventions with existing school staff – and is the most affordable DfE-approved one-to-one tutoring provider. Most schools use their Pupil Premium budget to cover the costs.
Do you offer A level maths tutors?
At the moment we are only able to offer online maths tuition to children studying at Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3, and Key Stage 4. Our experienced tutors (all with enhanced DBS checks and Police Clearance Certificates) are given a programme of maths tutor training to enable them to work with primary school pupils who may be preparing for SATs or entrance exams. Then our GCSE maths tutors are available to support secondary students preparing for GCSE / iGCSE level exams. Lessons are suitable for all major exam boards and matched against OCR, AQA, and Edexcel syllabus. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide maths and physics tutors, A-level maths tutors, English tutors or indeed preparation for Further Maths at this stage.
What are the advantages of online maths tutoring?
Online maths tutoring offers several advantages over in-person tutoring:
- Flexibility: Sessions can be scheduled at times that suit your school and students
- Wider pool of tutors: Access to qualified tutors from across the country, not just your local area
- Consistency: The same tutor can work with a student throughout their learning journey
- Interactive tools: Our online whiteboard and resources enhance the learning experience
- Cost-effective: Lower overheads mean we can offer high-quality tutoring at more affordable rates
How do you ensure the quality of your tutoring sessions?
We maintain high standards through:
- Rigorous tutor selection and training
- Regular performance reviews and ongoing professional development for tutors
- Quality assurance checks on tutoring sessions
- Continuous improvement based on feedback from schools and students
- Alignment with the national curriculum and exam board requirements
