Primary maths
Times tables, place value and the mental arithmetic that everything later leans on. Most primary work is about getting a child to stop bracing before a number question.

Maths Tutor Glasgow: One to One Tuition from Educamus

One to one, never a group
What does one to one maths tuition with Educamus involve?
An hour a week, with one tutor who stays with your child for the whole course. That tutor works out where the marks are actually going: a shaky bit of algebra from S2, a topic that was missed during a run of absences, or exam technique that falls apart under time pressure.
Educamus does the matching before anyone teaches anything. A course consultant asks about the level, the school, what your child is finding hard and how they like to work, then puts them with a tutor who suits all four. Get the pairing wrong and the next session is free with someone else.
Sessions run at your home in Glasgow or through the online classroom, and whichever you pick your child sees the same face each week, with progress reports coming to you as the course goes on rather than a report card in June telling you something you could have fixed in November.
- Vetted tutors, all PVG compliant under Scotland’s Protecting Vulnerable Groups scheme
- A dedicated course consultant you can phone, rather than a booking inbox
- Teachers, professional tutors and strong university students, including a partnership with Glasgow University Rocketry
- Regular progress reports, plus access to the Educamus employability workshop
Which maths levels do you tutor in Glasgow?
Primary counting through to Advanced Higher calculus, plus the qualifications Glasgow pupils sit alongside them.
National 5 Maths
Where a lot of Glasgow pupils first hit a wall. Quadratics, trigonometry and the reasoning questions at the end of Paper 2 are the three that swallow the most marks.
S4, also National 4Higher Maths
The jump from National 5 catches out even strong pupils, because the pace roughly doubles and almost nothing gets revisited. Differentiation, integration and the vectors unit take up most of our Higher hours.
S5 and S6Advanced Higher Maths
Matrices, complex numbers and proof, taught online so your child gets the specialist rather than whoever is free nearby. Brodie came to Educamus with an A at Higher and left Advanced Higher with another one.
Online onlyApplications of Maths and Numeracy
Money, statistics, measurement and the real world questions this course is built on. It rewards a different skill from the Maths course, so it gets taught differently.
National 4 and 5GCSE and A Level Maths
Glasgow families sitting English board exams are covered too, along with college and university maths. All of it runs through the online classroom.
Online onlyWhat have Glasgow maths students actually achieved?
Four real Educamus students. Every starting point is different, so read these as examples rather than a promise.

What do parents say about Educamus?
Reviews left on Google and Trustpilot by families who booked tuition.
Couldn’t recommend these guys enough. Proof is in the pudding though and it’s really shown her potential getting an A for her Math prelim, when her aim was initially to just get a pass.
My S2 son has been having weekly online Maths tuition with Ryder for a few months now. In his latest Maths test since the tuition he scored 82% which has given him a much needed boost. Ryder has been superb at building his ability and confidence!
Highly recommend educamus tuition, Elise is amazing. Elise set and marked homework / past papers. This gave Abby the confidence for the exams, and Abby reached her potential.
Megan tutored Mia and helped her a great deal. Mia was absolutely delighted with her result. She never thought she would have got a B. Huge thanks again to Megan.
Adam was a fantastic tutor for both maths and physics. His calm, reassuring manner settled any nerves and he happily kept going over topics until my son thoroughly understood them.
Great company with excellent tutors. Would highly recommend for all those needing help with exams. Built confidence for exams and reached helped reach the optimum grades necessary. Thanks guys
Absolutely fantastic service from Tony with the arrangement of tutors catered specifically for your child’s needs. My boys have benefited greatly from what educamus has to offer.
I would highly recommend this service! My daughter has received tutor sessions on and off over the last few years and it’s massively helped build her confidence.
Brilliant tutors and always on call to help and support highly recommend

Questions parents ask before booking a maths tutor
The nine that come up most often on the consultation call. Anything not here, ask a consultant.
Book a free consultationHow much does a maths tutor cost in Glasgow?
One hour of home maths tuition in Glasgow is £50. One hour online is £45. Advanced Higher, GCSE, A Level and college maths are £55 an hour and are taught online only. All prices include VAT and sessions are paid for in full when you book.
Will my child get the same maths tutor every week?
Yes. Educamus gives every student the same tutor each session, because progress in maths comes from someone who remembers what you got stuck on last week.
If the pairing turns out to be wrong, the next session is free of charge with a different tutor.
Are Educamus maths tutors PVG checked?
Yes. Every Educamus tutor is vetted and PVG compliant under Scotland’s Protecting Vulnerable Groups scheme.
Tutors are a mix of qualified teachers, professional tutors and strong university students. Educamus is partnered with Glasgow University Rocketry, which is where a number of the STEM tutors come from.
Which maths levels do you cover in Glasgow?
Primary maths, S1 to S3 Broad General Education, National 4, National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher Maths, plus Applications of Maths and Numeracy. GCSE Maths, A Level Maths and college or university maths are taught online.
Is home tuition or online maths tuition better?
Younger pupils, and anyone who works better with a person sitting beside them, usually do best at home. Online tends to win at Higher and Advanced Higher, because it opens up the whole Educamus tutor network rather than only the tutors free in your part of Glasgow that evening.
Advanced Higher, GCSE and A Level are online only. Your consultant will talk this through before you book anything.
How quickly will we hear back after a consultation request?
Within 24 hours. A course consultant calls to go through your child’s level, where the marks are being lost and how they learn, then matches them with a tutor.
The consultation is free and there is nothing to pay until you book a session.
How many hours of maths tuition does my child need?
Educamus recommends at least one hour a week, and sessions are an hour long. Weekly is what turns a shaky topic into a secure one before the next one lands on top of it.
Some families add a second hour in the run up to prelims and then drop back.
Can you help a student who is already getting good maths grades?
Yes. Plenty of Educamus students are chasing an A rather than a pass, or are stepping up from Higher to Advanced Higher Maths.
Brodie came in with an A at Higher Maths and finished Advanced Higher with another A.
What happens if we have to cancel a maths session?
Sessions are paid for when you book. Give as much notice as you can and Educamus will try to move the session to another date at no extra cost.
A cancellation inside 24 hours of the start time may still be charged. Where a refund is due it is processed within three working days.
