Why Choose Online Over In-Person?
Online GCSE maths tutoring removes the constraints of geography and travel. Your child can access a vetted tutor from home, which is typically more convenient for busy families. There is no need to travel to a tutor’s location or host someone in your home. Online sessions can often be scheduled more flexibly, and our interactive whiteboard is purpose-built for mathematical working — drawing diagrams, writing equations, and solving problems collaboratively in real time.
How Our Online Lessons Work
Each session takes place on StudyGuru’s browser-based platform. The tutor and student share an interactive whiteboard where both can write and draw simultaneously, alongside HD video calling. Students can upload work to discuss, and tutors can prepare materials in advance. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam, microphone, and stable internet connection. No software downloads are required — we recommend Chrome or Firefox for the smoothest experience.
Getting Started: The Process
Step 1: Optionally, book a free 15-minute intro call to discuss your child’s needs and goals. Step 2: Create a free account and claim the £15 Starter Pack — 4 full sessions at £15 each. Step 3: Browse our DBS-checked tutors, view profiles, and choose a time that works. Step 4: Your child joins the lesson from any browser — the tutor handles everything from there. Step 5: After each session, review the AI-generated summary in your parent dashboard.
Exam Board Coverage
Our online GCSE maths tutors cover AQA, Edexcel, and OCR specifications. Each exam board has its own question styles, content emphasis, and mark scheme approach. Our tutors are familiar with these differences and tailor lessons accordingly. We support both Foundation tier (targeting grades 1 to 5) and Higher tier (targeting grades 4 to 9).
What Parents See After Each Lesson
Transparency is a core part of what StudyGuru offers. After every session, AI generates a lesson summary that includes: the topics covered, your child’s progress level on those topics (rated as Struggling, Progressing, or Confident), key moments from the lesson, and specific practice recommendations. AI also generates personalised practice tasks based on what was covered. Your parent dashboard tracks all of this over time alongside current versus target grades.
Safeguarding Online
All StudyGuru tutors pass our 7-step verification: identity verification, right to work, Enhanced DBS verification (via the Update Service or a fresh application through uCheck), certificate upload, database verification, a 20-minute live teaching assessment, and final safeguarding team approval. Our platform is purpose-built with safety in mind — sessions happen within our controlled environment with no need to download separate video software, and all communications are handled through the platform.
Common Pain Points We Help With
Parents typically reach out when their child is struggling with confidence in maths, has received disappointing mock results, needs help catching up after missed school time, is preparing for final GCSE exams, or wants to push for a higher grade. Our tutors start by understanding where the gaps are, then build a tailored plan that focuses on the topics likely to make the biggest difference.
