Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

💰 What is the average cost of a maths tutor for children?

Maths tutors for children typically charge between £15 and £20 per hour. However, it should be noted that the cost of maths lessons for children can vary depending on the qualifications of the tutor, as well as where they're located. Maths tutors in London for example tend to charge a higher rate than maths tutors located in other areas.

🧐 Are maths tutors worth it?

Maths tutors are absolutely worth the investment for the vast majority of students. It's no secret that maths is a subject that very often intills anxiety in students and it feels like you either get maths or you just don´t. 

Hiring a maths tutor for your child can allow them to set off on the right foot with maths and to approach the subject with increased confidence.

🧑‍💻 How do I know if my child needs a maths tutor?

You may realise your child needs after-school tuition in maths if they start to fall behind in the subject, if their grades drop, or if they have a fear of the subject. Hiring a tutor for maths can help them increase their knowledge of maths, understand its applications and boost their confidence. 

On the other hand, you could still find a private maths tutor even if your child may not be struggling with maths. This will allow them to stay on top of the course content or even get ahead in maths.

🗺️ How can I find a tutor near me?

If you want to find a maths tutor for children near you, the first thing you could do is ask friends or other parents at your child's school if they have any recommendations for maths tutors. Personal recommendations reassure you that the tutor is trustworthy and can generate good results.

Additionally, you could also do an online search for after-school tuition centres near you. Many of these centres offer both private lessons and group tuition.

Finally, you can check online platforms like FindTutors. Here you can filter tutors according to your needs and contact them or schedule a trial lesson with them for more information before purchasing a private lesson.

📅 How often should you take private maths lessons?

Students should ideally have at least one private maths lesson per week in order to stay on top of the subject. However, this all depends on the needs and goals of the student. Students coming up to important exams may find that they require more private tutoring sessions in order to adequately prepare.

How to choose a good maths tutor for your child

If you want to ensure you´re choosing a good maths tutor for your child, there are a number of steps you can take:

  1. Enquire whether the tutor has a DBS check or experience working with children. Even if you´re seeking online lessons, you should ask your chosen tutor if they have a DBS check or have qualifications or experience in working with children. 
  2. Check if they have reviews and recommendations from past students. You can also check if the tutor has any references to ensure that they´re trustworthy, reliable and that they have achieved positive results from their past pupils.
  3. See if you can schedule a trial lesson. You should ask the tutor if you can schedule a trial lesson between them and your child which you can join. This gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you might have and see how your child interacts with the maths tutor.

What qualities should a good tutor have?

There are a number of qualities you should look for when you set out to find your tutor.

  • A good communicator. A good tutor should be able to communicate with your child in a way in which they understand and should give you as a parent any updates on their progress where necessary.
  • Patience. When learning maths, many children can become frustrated when they don't understand or can't pick up something right away. It's essential that their tutor is patient to be able to encourage them through these frustrations.
  • Adaptability and organisation. It's important that tutors should be organised for their classes and adaptable in case they need to make any last minute changes or adjustments. 
  • Fun and friendly. Finally, a tutor should be able to create classes that are fun and interactive, especially for young children. In order to advance in maths, children should be fully engaged in their lessons.

They can also teach children the practical applications of mathematics, allowing them to understand the importance of the subject and thus improve their motivation to study it. 

How to help your child with maths at home

If you´re a parent and you also want to help your child with maths at home, there are a number of resources available for you to use.

You can check for websites and applications where children can learn maths through interactive activities and games. As well as this, you could also buy activity books or downloads where your child can do some extra maths activities to help them in their understanding.

Beyond this, you should teach your child the everyday applications of maths and can give them activities to improve their mental maths. For example, you could bring them grocery shopping with you and ask them to count up the items you need or add up the total cost to ensure you´re within your budget. 

To conclude, private maths tutors can help children get ahead in maths and tackle maths anxiety before it starts or gets any worse. So if you´ve been considering private tuition for your child, start the search on FindTutors and find your maths tutor today.
