Hello my name is Anne-Marie, I am from Ireland but have been living in the UK since 2004. This is now a place I call home.

I now have an 11 year old son who loves reading and writing. He can articulate himself well and it's truly a joy to see. It's amazing the wonder a child sees in learning.

Parents' reviews about Mathema tutors in Edinburgh
Very good teacher, my daughter loves her course, very patiente and explain very good, so happy about her
My son started with Abdul three months ago. His attitude towards has changed significantly. His got assessments and exams coming up so we will see how that goes. I will be back with another review.

Amina was absolutely wonderful with my daughter. She was kind, positive, patient, and very engaging throughout the lesson. My daughter felt comfortable and really enjoyed the session. I also really appreciated Amina’s professional approach and the helpful assessment she provided. Thank you so much for your kindness and support! 🌸🤍

Answering your "what ifs?"
All lessons are conducted online in a one-on-one format between the student and teacher. They work together via Zoom or Google Meet: solving problems, discussing examples, and reaching understanding step by step. The format is convenient and flexible — no rush or pressure, with a focus on understanding. A phone, tablet, or computer with internet access and a camera is all you need. Teachers may use interactive whiteboards for explanations, so we recommend choosing a device with a larger screen when possible.
Yes, we recommend turning on the camera and microphone during the lesson. This helps the teacher better sense the child's mood, notice where help is needed, and maintain a live connection. If there are technical difficulties — don't worry. We'll always find a convenient solution together.
We suggest answering a few questions to understand what matters most for your child right now: their level, goals, and topics they want to work on. Based on your answers, we suggest a teacher who best fits this request and with whom the child will feel calm, understood, and interested in learning. Such a teacher is marked with a "Best recommendation" badge — meaning their experience matches your situation well. If you find it hard to choose, our manager will gladly help. According to our statistics, 95% of parents are satisfied with the selected teacher. However, if the teacher doesn't suit for any reason, we'll find another one for free.
Learning at our school starts with an introductory lesson — a full session aimed at identifying topics that need special attention, creating an individual learning plan for your child, as well as getting acquainted with the teacher and setting the child up for comfortable learning. After the lesson, the teacher prepares a report for parents and a personalized lesson plan to make learning clear, comfortable, and as effective as possible.
Parental presence is not required. During the first introductory lesson, it's helpful if you can join for the last few minutes to hear feedback and ask the teacher questions. If that's not possible, you can review the report and the learning plan on the platform. During regular lessons, we recommend that the child works independently with the teacher. This helps them focus better, build rapport, and gradually feel confident in their own learning.
Yes, you can change your teacher at any time. You can do this on your own in your personal account or by contacting the support chat on the platform.
The standard lesson duration is 55 minutes. This is enough time to properly explain the material, reinforce the topic, and answer all the child's questions without overloading.
Lesson price starts from £27 for a 55-minute lesson.
Yes, if you wish, you can pause learning for up to 180 days. All lessons are kept on your balance, and after resuming, the child continues from where they left off.
Yes. If your plans have changed, you can reschedule or cancel a lesson on your own in your account, or contact support. Please note: in case of a no-show without prior notice, the lesson will be deducted from your balance. We recommend notifying us of changes in advance to preserve your lesson.
Mathema vs bulletin boards in Edinburgh
Finding a tutor on a bulletin board is easy. Making sure they actually know how to teach is much harder. Behind a polished profile may hide someone with no experience, no methodology and no understanding of the school curriculum. You only find out after a few paid lessons. At Mathema every tutor is vetted before they ever reach you. Compare for yourself — and choose what delivers results, not just fills a slot in the timetable.
Our students' success stories in Edinburgh
Numbers are great. But the best thing about Mathema is told by the students and their parents themselves. Here are a few real stories — from a child who was afraid of the blackboard to a student who earned a place at university.

"My daughter said maths was 'not her thing'. After 12 lessons she asks for extra problems herself. I don't know what the tutor did, but it's magic."

"I thought I'd fail differential equations. The tutor explained in 6 sessions what my lecturer couldn't get across in a whole semester. Scored 87%."

"I worked with a tutor for 4 months before my GCSEs. We went through every problem type I struggled with. There were no surprises on exam day — I'd seen it all before."

"Alina used to cry before every maths test. Now she looks forward to her lesson — the tutor turned maths into a game."
Ratings are given by real students and parents after every course. We never edit or delete reviews — only publish them.

🎯 When to choose a maths tutor
Maths is a subject where every gap pulls the next one along. The earlier support starts, the easier it is to catch up. Here is what a tutor does at each level.
Years 1–4
Primary school is the foundation: times tables, basic operations, first word problems. If your child gets lost in class or is afraid to answer — that's a signal. A tutor works at the child's pace, explains without pressure and brings back interest in the subject before fear takes hold.
Find a tutor for Years 1–4Years 5–9
Secondary school brings fractions, equations, geometry and the first serious exams. The curriculum gets harder fast, and many students start struggling here. A tutor helps close specific gaps, prepare for end-of-year tests and avoid building up debt before GCSE years.
Find a tutor for Years 5–9GCSEs
GCSE preparation is the most popular request. It's not just about knowledge — speed and problem-solving strategy matter too. An online maths tutor builds an individual plan: from revising core topics to practising exam-style questions in real test format.
Find a GCSE maths tutorA-Levels & university
A-Level and university maths — calculus, differential equations, probability theory — is a different challenge entirely. Textbook explanations often aren't enough. A tutor explains concepts tailored to your specific course and lecturer, helping you pass exams with confidence.
Find an A-Level maths tutorMaths competitions
Competition maths requires a different kind of thinking: non-standard problems, combinatorics, number theory. Preparation needs a tutor with competition experience — someone who understands the logic of contests and can teach you to find creative approaches.

How to choose a Maths tutor in Edinburgh
Looking for a maths tutor but not sure where to start? Five simple steps to help you choose.
Read real reviews
Before choosing a tutor, read what previous students say. Real reviews tell you more than any CV. Look for concrete results: improved grades, overcoming fear of maths, successful exam preparation.
Check experience and specialisation
An experienced tutor knows not just the subject but the typical struggles students face at each level. Ask whether they have experience with your specific goal — GCSE prep, closing knowledge gaps or an advanced course.
Start with a trial lesson
A trial lesson is the best way to see if the tutor is right for you. Pay attention to how clear the explanations are and whether you want to come back. Comfort from the first lesson is already a good sign.
Ask about the teaching approach
Every tutor has their own style: some explain through real-life problems, others through logic and structure. Ask how they tailor material to each student and how they track progress.
Assess the atmosphere and rapport
Maths comes easier when there's trust between student and tutor. A good teacher doesn't just explain — they motivate, support and notice when something isn't working. A comfortable atmosphere is half the success.
