Online Maths Tutoring, Honestly Assessed
Most tutoring sites tell you online is just as good. Here is what it genuinely does better, what it does worse, and which students it suits.
Trial lessons are 50% off the normal rate.
Math Wizard teaches maths online anywhere in the United Kingdom, at the same price as in person: £60–£80 per hour for 1-to-1 and £40 per student per hour in groups of five or six. Lessons run on Zoom or Google Meet, worked through on an iPad so the student watches the maths appear line by line, and the notes are sent afterwards. All UK exam systems are covered – GCSE and A Level, SQA National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher, CCEA, IGCSE and IB.
What Online Does Better, and What It Does Worse
Both are true. Anyone who tells you online is simply equivalent has not taught many teenagers.
Better: nothing gets lost
Every line written during the lesson is saved and sent afterwards. In person, the working lives on a page that gets shoved in a bag. Students revising from a term of saved lesson notes revise from something that was built for them.
Worse: less control of the room
Being physically present means knowing whether a student is actually working or has a phone under the desk. That is the real difference an in-person lesson makes – not any change in how the maths is taught.
Better: no travel, so no wasted hour
A session can be half an hour before a mock rather than a fixed Tuesday slot chosen around traffic. Frequency can rise before exams without anyone driving anywhere.
Worse: harder to read a quiet student
A student who has gone silent because they are lost is easier to spot in a room than on a screen. It is manageable – it just means asking more direct questions more often.
Better: you are not limited by geography
Advanced Higher, Further Maths and IB HL are courses where the nearest specialist may be a long way away. Online removes that entirely, which matters most for exactly the students with the fewest local options.
Neither: the teaching itself
Same iPad, same worksheets, same method, same tutor. The maths does not know which room it is in.
Not sure whether online will suit your child?
Try one lesson at half price and find out - that is a far better test than any paragraph on this page, and there is no contract either way.
Trial lessons are 50% off the normal rate.
Who Online Suits Best
Sixth formers, almost always. A Level, Advanced Higher and IB students are old enough to run their own session, and they are the ones most likely to want a lesson at short notice before a deadline.
Anyone on a course with few local specialists. Further Maths, Advanced Higher and IB Higher Level in particular. Geography stops being a constraint.
Families outside the 17 in-person cities. Which is most of the country. Online is not the consolation prize here – it is the same lesson at the same price.
Less well: a student who will not sit still. If the honest problem is focus rather than maths, in person is worth the travel where it is available. We will say so rather than sell you the online lesson.
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
Online is the same price as in person, because it is the same lesson.
| 1-to-1, in person or online | £60–£80 per hour |
| Small group (5–6 students) | £40 per student per hour |
| Trial lesson | 50% off the normal rate |
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.
