Maths Tutors in Swansea
The second city of a nation with its own exam board, its own two-GCSE maths structure and its own Welsh-medium sector.
Trial lessons are 50% off the normal rate.
Swansea students sit WJEC Eduqas qualifications, including the two separate maths GCSEs used across Wales - Mathematics and Mathematics Numeracy. The city has around seventeen secondary schools, among them the Welsh-medium Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Bryn Tawe and Ysgol Gyfun Gwyr, where maths is taught and examined through Welsh. Swansea's schools serve a wide area running from the city out towards Gower and the Swansea Valley. Math Wizard teaches Welsh qualifications in Swansea, in person and online.
Why English Revision Guides Mislead Here
Most of what is on the shelf in a UK bookshop is written for AQA, Edexcel or OCR. For a Swansea student, the mathematics inside is largely right and the exam it prepares for does not exist.
Timing practice is where this does real damage. A student who has trained on English papers builds pacing habits for a paper structured differently from the one they will actually sit, and discovers it in the exam hall.
A City That Reaches a Long Way Out
Swansea's schools draw from the city, the Gower peninsula and the valleys behind it. For a family at the edge of that area, an in-person evening lesson can mean a considerable round trip for the tutor and a fixed early slot for the student.
Online removes the constraint entirely at the same price, which for outlying areas usually means a better match of tutor rather than a compromise on convenience.

In Person Around Swansea, or Online
In person. A tutor comes to the student's desk in Swansea and the surrounding area. Work is done on iPad and sent through afterwards.
Online, same price. Zoom or Google Meet with shared notes. For Gower and valley addresses this is usually the practical option, and it is the same rate rather than a cheaper substitute.
No commitment. Hour-long sessions, movable with 12 hours notice, no contract and no minimum package.
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.
Fees in Swansea
The same hourly rate applies wherever in the Swansea area you are, and online costs no less and no more.
The full breakdown, including how group lessons are made up and what the half-price first lesson covers, is on the maths tutor prices page.
| 1-to-1, in person or online | £60–£80 per hour |

The rate depends on level – A Level and Advanced Higher sit at the upper end. There is no registration fee, no minimum package, and no charge for the worksheets or materials.
