Maths tutor Grace C. — Mathema

Grace C. 🇬🇧

5 years of experience
  • Maths

Hi there! I’m Grace, a University of Leeds student and an enthusiastic math tutor who loves helping students discover that math doesn't have to be intimidating! I have been tutoring privately since 2018, and my goal is always to turn math from a source of exam stress into a source of genuine confidence. I’ve always had a massive passion for problem-solving. During my seven years as an Academic Scholar at St Swithun’s School, I spent a lot of time exploring advanced math, joining the Enigma Maths Club, and earning six Gold awards and a Medal prize in the UKMT Maths Challenge. I love bringing that same excitement into my lessons, breaking down tricky equations, geometry, and numerical concepts into clear steps that actually make sense. I specialize in preparing students for the 11+ and GCSE exams. Because every child learns differently, I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I tailor all of my lesson plans to match your child's unique learning style, and I have a lot of experience supporting students with diverse needs, including SEN and EAL. I handle all the lesson planning, scheduling, and progress tracking, so you'll always know exactly how your child is developing. Whether they need to catch up on the basics or want to be stretched to their full potential, I'm here to support them every step of the way!

Maths tutor Heba F. — Mathema

Heba F. 🇬🇧

  • Maths

Maths can become much easier when you have someone who explains things in a way that actually makes sense to you. I’m a UCL Mathematics and Statistical Sciences graduate with over four years of one-to-one tutoring experience, primarily teaching GCSE, IGCSE and A-Level Maths. I have taught students across a wide range of abilities, from those who feel stuck and need support with the basics to those aiming for the highest grades. I understand that Maths can feel overwhelming, especially when lessons move quickly or there are gaps in understanding. My approach is to slow things down when needed, explain ideas clearly and build understanding step by step. I want students to feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes without feeling judged. I have completed over 250 hours of GCSE and IGCSE Maths tuition. Alongside helping students understand difficult topics, I also focus on problem-solving and exam technique, including how to approach different types of questions, structure working clearly and avoid common mistakes. Rather than asking students to simply memorise methods, I encourage them to understand the reasoning behind what they are doing. As their confidence grows, I gradually encourage them to tackle questions more independently and explain their own thinking. I hold a BSc in Mathematics and Statistical Sciences from UCL, graduating with a 2:1, and achieved A*A*A*A in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry at A-Level. Whether a student wants to catch up, strengthen their foundations, prepare for exams or push themselves further, I tailor lessons to their individual needs. My goal is for students to leave lessons feeling that Maths is clearer, more manageable and something they can tackle with confidence.

Maths tutor Jan F. — Mathema

Jan F. 🇬🇧

15 years of experience
  • Maths

Mathematics has been a lifelong passion of mine, a field to which I have dedicated over 25 years of exploration and contribution. This journey has shaped me into a skilled mathematician, culminating in a degree in Mathematics from Monash University and the University of South Australia, where I specialized in Mathematical and Computer Modeling. My engagement with mathematics took a significant turn during my sophomore year when I successfully solved a mathematical puzzle that had baffled scholars for 165 years. This achievement served as a catalyst for further research opportunities and collaborations. My time at the University of South Australia was particularly impactful. I had the opportunity to work as an Applied Mathematics Researcher, immersing myself in rigorous research while mentoring a diverse group of six PhD students. In this role, I guided them through the complexities of their research projects and helped them develop their academic and analytical skills. Throughout my career, I have made substantial contributions to the field, publishing two mathematical books and several influential research papers. As a mathematics tutor, I have empowered students to overcome challenges, including those from Non-English Speaking Backgrounds (NESB), assisting them in enhancing their academic skills. In 2022, I returned to Poland after a transformative 35 years in Australia, and I now teach mathematics at Mathema as well as English at a language school. I am committed to inspiring my students through engaging, interactive lessons while providing private tutoring to support their individual learning journeys. My diverse career seamlessly integrates my passions for mathematics and language education, enabling me to empower students from various backgrounds to achieve their academic aspirations.

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

Joy is very patient and takes her time to go over the topics until it is fully understood. She is flexible with her lesson planning to suit the student's current needs. My son is enjoying mastering his year 8 maths topics with Joy ahead of his end of year exam!

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.

Best online Physics and Math tutors in Edinburgh

Looking for a physics and math tutor? On mathema you can find a tutor for physics, for maths or for both — for school, exams or university, with no travel.

Every tutor is verified, with real reviews and transparent prices. Physics problems usually stall on the maths behind them, so working on both with one plan saves time.

🎯 When to choose a physics and math tutor

Physics and maths lean on each other: a gap in algebra or trigonometry shows up as a wrong answer in mechanics or electricity. Here is what a tutor does at each stage.

GCSE (Years 10–11)

Forces, energy and electricity at GCSE are half maths: rearranging formulas, units and graphs. A tutor works on the physics and the algebra behind it in the same lesson.

Find a GCSE tutor

A-Level (Year 12)

A-Level physics leans on calculus and trigonometry that A-Level maths is only starting to teach. A tutor closes that gap before it costs marks.

Find a Year 12 tutor

A-Level (Year 13) and university

Final-year exams, university entrance and first-year mechanics and calculus. A tutor drills the problem types where physics and maths meet.

💻 How online lessons work

Online lessons with a Mathema tutor are not just a video call. It's a structured process where every step is designed for results.

🔍 Choose your tutor
Filter by year group, topic, price and rating. Every profile includes a video introduction, student reviews and homework examples — so you choose with confidence.

🧑‍🏫 Take an introductory lesson
The first lesson is a trial. The tutor assesses your level, finds gaps and explains how the course will be structured. You decide if this teacher is right for you — risk-free.

📅 Agree on a schedule
Together with your tutor, agree on a convenient time — once a week, twice, or intensively before exams. The schedule can be changed in your personal dashboard.

💻 Learn online
Lessons take place via Zoom or Google Meet with an interactive whiteboard: the tutor writes formulas, solves problems, and the student comments and responds in real time. The feel of live contact — without travel time.

📝 Get homework and feedback
After every lesson — materials, assignments and a short progress report. Parents can track progress through the parent dashboard: grades, attendance, tutor comments.

🔄 Switch tutors for free

How to choose a Physics and Math tutor in Edinburgh

Looking for a physics and math 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.
