92% of parents finally understand
where the problem lies — and how to track progress

Alfie is a brilliant teacher and has built my 14 year old’s confidence in maths tremendously in such a small amount of time. Alfie is extremely knowledgeable and explains things really clearly. He is encouraging and makes maths feel less daunting and more enjoyable. Wish we’d found him sooner :)

I cannot praise Abdul enough he instantly engaged my daughter and managed to identify her strengths and weaknesses. In just a few lessons her confidence has grown. She now enjoys the lessons and does not feel overwhelmed as much by maths as a whole. Abdul has a very calm but direct approach and this is very well received. Highly recommend

Frequently asked questions

Many tutoring companies offer a free first lesson that's little more than a brief introduction or a demonstration of the platform.

At Mathema, the introductory lesson is a full assessment. Your tutor prepares for the lesson, evaluates your child's current level, and provides a detailed report afterwards.

For just £5, you receive much more than a lesson — you get a comprehensive assessment of your child's knowledge, a personalised learning plan, and a progress forecast for the months ahead.

The report is yours to keep.

Even if you decide not to continue, you'll still have a detailed assessment of your child's current level. It shows which topics your kid understands well, where there are gaps, and what to focus on next.

It's a valuable resource you'll keep, whatever you decide.

The report will be available within 8 hours of the end of the introductory lesson. You'll receive a detailed report in your Parent Account and by email.

The introductory lesson is available for pupils in years 1–13.

We'll match your child with a tutor based on their school year, current level, and learning needs, whether they need support with algebra, geometry, or both.
