Why Do We Do This?

The Mathema team
  1. 1

    COVID changed the rules of the game

    In 2021, schools moved online. But a Zoom lesson with 30 children could never replace real explanation and individual support. Many students felt lost, fell behind, and began to lose confidence. That was the moment we realised education needed something different.

  2. 2

    The founders are maths enthusiasts

    We’re a team that genuinely believes maths isn’t difficult. It’s a language of logic that anyone can learn when it’s explained clearly. When a child understands maths, they gain a foundation for future success — no matter what path they choose in life.

  3. 3

    The idea that became Mathema

    We brought together exceptional tutors — people who don’t just know maths, but know how to explain it in a way children understand. We also introduced an AI learning assistant to support students between lessons, so no “Why does this work?” has to wait until the next lesson.

  4. 4

    Results that tell the story

    From the very beginning, Mathema students have gone on to gain places at leading universities, achieve outstanding exam results, and build the confidence to take on new challenges. Not because they suddenly became more talented. But because they finally understood maths.

  5. 5

    What we believe

    A child who understands maths has more opportunities ahead. That belief drives everything we do. Our mission is simple: to help maths stop feeling intimidating and become a superpower children can rely on.

How Mathema Works — and What Makes It Different

We’re not an online school. We’re not a conventional tutor. We’re something entirely new.

Live 1-to-1 Online Lessons

Every lesson is led by a dedicated tutor who gets to know your child and adapts each lesson to their pace, personality, and learning needs.

A learning programme tailored to your child

We don’t start with a textbook. We identify your child’s knowledge gaps and learning goals, then build a programme around them.

AI support between lessons

Got stuck on homework? Mathema’s AI assistant is there to explain, guide, and keep learning moving forward — anytime.

Our tutors guide, not judge

We don’t just hire maths experts. We look for people who know how to spark curiosity and help children enjoy learning maths.

How do we select our tutors?

Only one in ten applicants makes it through our selection process

Great at explaining

We assess not only maths knowledge, but also the ability to make complex ideas easy to understand.

They inspire, not pressure

Mistakes are part of learning. Our tutors help children learn with confidence and curiosity.

Always improving

Parents rate every lesson, and we act on feedback straight away.

Our journey so far

Every day, more children fall in love with maths through Mathema.

What we stand for

These aren’t rules for an office wall. They shape how we work every day and every lesson we teach.

Understanding comes before memorising

We don’t teach children to memorise formulas. We help them discover the logic behind them — and once they understand it, remembering becomes much easier.

Progress matters more than grades

Good grades are important. But what matters even more is when a child can see their own progress. We focus on growth, not just marks.

Tutors are partners, not judges

Mistakes aren’t failures — they’re opportunities to learn. Our tutors know how to turn them into moments of growth and confidence.

Every child learns differently

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. There’s your child’s pace — and we adapt to it, not the other way around.

Answering your “What ifs”

Mathema is suitable for children of all ability levels. We tailor learning to each student’s needs — whether they need help catching up with schoolwork, deepening their understanding, or preparing for academic competitions. Before lessons begin, we run an introductory lesson to assess your child’s current level, understand their goals, and create a personalised learning programme.

Every tutor goes through a multi-stage selection process, including subject assessments, a trial lesson, and an evaluation of their teaching approach. We accept only one in ten applicants and continue monitoring quality through feedback and ratings after every lesson.

The AI assistant is built into the Mathema platform and is available whenever your child needs support — in the evening, at weekends, or between lessons. Rather than simply providing answers, it explains the thinking behind them, helping children understand concepts and solve problems independently.

We’ll match your child with a new tutor free of charge and without any hassle. The relationship between a child and their tutor plays a huge role in successful learning, so we want every student to look forward to their lessons.

Many parents notice improvements in understanding after just 3–5 lessons. More consistent progress in school performance typically becomes visible after 4–8 weeks of regular learning.

Mathema is available worldwide. Because all lessons take place online, location doesn’t matter. We work with families across dozens of countries who want maths to become a source of confidence and opportunity for their children.
