University Maths Tutors

First-year calculus, linear algebra and analysis – and the maths modules on degrees that are not maths degrees.

Trial lessons are 50% off the normal rate.

Math Wizard teaches first-year undergraduate mathematics: calculus and real analysis, linear algebra, differential equations, probability and statistics, and the compulsory maths modules on engineering, economics, computer science and natural sciences degrees. Lessons cost £60–£80 per hour and run online anywhere in the UK, which is how most university students prefer to work.

Why First-Year Maths Goes Wrong

Almost nobody arrives here because they are bad at maths. They arrive because of one of these.

Proof replaced computation

School maths asked you to calculate. A first analysis course asks you to prove – epsilon-delta, formal definitions, arguments rather than answers. It is a genuinely different discipline, and being good at A Level does not prepare anyone for it.

The pace is roughly triple

A term covers what school would have spread over a year, and nobody checks whether you kept up. Fall two lectures behind in week four and the rest of the module is built on ground you never covered.

Maths on a degree that is not maths

Engineering, economics, psychology and biology students often meet a compulsory quantitative module they did not expect and were not warned about. It is frequently the module that threatens their overall result.

Nobody is checking on you

No parents' evening, no one chasing homework, and lecture halls where asking a question feels impossible. Problems compound quietly until an exam makes them visible.

Exam in a few weeks and the lectures stopped making sense in week four?

That is the most common way this starts, and it is usually fixable faster than you think - because the problem is nearly always one or two foundational ideas, not the whole module. First session is half price.

Trial lessons are 50% off the normal rate.

How University Tutoring Works Here

Online, almost always. Students are spread across the country, working to their own timetable, and often want a session at short notice before a problem sheet deadline. Everything is worked through on iPad with the notes sent afterwards.

Your module, your notes. Universities vary enormously in how they teach the same material, so sessions work from your actual lecture notes and problem sheets rather than a generic syllabus.

No contract. Most university students want a handful of sessions around a specific module or exam rather than a standing weekly slot, and that is completely fine – there is no minimum and nothing to sign.

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

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.

Most UK tutoring agencies quote you privately. Ours are above.

Common Questions

First-year calculus and real analysis, linear algebra, differential equations, probability and statistics, and the compulsory quantitative modules on engineering, economics, computer science and natural sciences degrees.
Yes, and it is usually the right approach. Universities teach the same material in very different orders with different notation, so working from your actual notes and problem sheets is far more useful than a generic course.
No. There is no contract and no minimum. Most university students want a few sessions around a specific module or exam rather than a weekly slot, which is completely normal here.
Both are available, but nearly all university tutoring here runs online - students are spread across the country and often want a session at short notice. It is the same price either way.
£60 to £80 per hour, with university-level work at the upper end of that range. The first session is half price.
