Maths Tutors in Cardiff
Welsh boards, Welsh-medium schools, and a GCSE maths structure that does not exist anywhere in England.
Trial lessons are 50% off the normal rate.
Cardiff students sit GCSE and A Level qualifications set by WJEC Eduqas rather than the English boards. Wales runs two separate maths GCSEs - Mathematics and Mathematics Numeracy - and most students are entered for both, which is a structural difference from England rather than a local variation. Cardiff also has both English-medium and Welsh-medium secondary schools, including Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf and Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Plasmawr, where maths is taught and examined through Welsh and which draw pupils from across the city. Math Wizard teaches Welsh qualifications in Cardiff, in person and online.
Two Maths GCSEs, Not One
The split between Mathematics and Mathematics Numeracy is the thing English revision material cannot help with. Numeracy is built around applying mathematics in context; Mathematics covers the more abstract content. Most Cardiff students sit both, often in the same season.
A student who revises only from AQA or Edexcel practice papers gets useful topic practice and completely the wrong exam preparation. Papers are structured differently, and so is the way questions are framed.
Welsh-Medium Schools Draw From the Whole City
Welsh-medium secondaries in Cardiff are city-wide rather than local catchment schools, so pupils travel considerable distances to reach them, and the maths vocabulary in their classroom is Welsh.
That is worth stating plainly when arranging tutoring: a student who has learned a topic through Welsh may know it perfectly well and be unable to recognise the English terminology, which looks like a gap and is not one. Tell us at the start and we work with the terms the student actually uses.

They need different preparation, and most families are only told that late. Send the year group and the school and we will set out what each one asks for. The first lesson is half price.

Around Cardiff, In Person or Online
In person. A tutor comes to the student's own desk across Cardiff and the surrounding area. Everything is worked on iPad and sent afterwards.
Online, same price. Zoom or Google Meet with shared notes. For a pupil already travelling across the city to a Welsh-medium school, an online evening lesson removes a second journey.
Movable sessions. An hour at a time, rearrangeable with 12 hours notice, no contract and no minimum commitment.
Who teaches your lessons
A maths specialist – someone who teaches maths and no other subject, works from the same worksheets you can read on this site, and follows the same method with every student.
You are told exactly who your tutor is before the first lesson, never after. That lesson is half price, with no contract, so if the match is not right you have lost one half-price hour and nothing else.
