    “Shy really enjoyed the session and really likes your way of engaging and teaching. She says you made her feel at ease and is very happy that you've helped her prepare for a test. She says you explained everything really well. I'm really happy, thank you 😊”

    “My son really benefited from the way Jafar’s teaches and would not have made it through matric without his help and input. By engaging in regular tutoring, my son was able to rest assured that Jafar would always be there to help through difficult concepts especially in exam periods. From my son’s experience, Jafar was able to convey concepts both in Maths and English, in several different ways if he was not grasping the idea. Jafar also relies heavily on interpersonal skills and engaging with students in order to gauge their level of competence. This allows for students to feel comfortable in asking questions or coming back to a concept with ease and not afraid of asking repeat questions if they struggle with an equation.”

What you need to know about Maths

What you need to know and how we support your child

At Global Tutors we specialise in Maths. We recommend a tutor based on your child's subject, level, and goals. Our tutors are qualified educators with experience in this area and work with students at different levels and from different curricula. Whether your child is preparing for formal exams or building a stronger foundation, we tailor each session to your child's goals and pace.

Maths requires clear problem-solving, logical structure, and fluency with the formulae and methods examiners expect. We build confidence through worked examples and past-paper practice.

Many students come to us for help with syllabus coverage, past papers, and exam technique; others want ongoing support to stay on track during the year. We use a one-to-one model so that your child can focus on the topics they find hardest and get immediate feedback. Our tutors are familiar with major exam boards and can align their teaching to your child's specification or school programme.

Students and families choose Global Tutors for personalised Maths support that fits their schedule and time zone. You can book regular weekly sessions or block revision as exams approach.

With Maths, we prioritise clear working and step-by-step reasoning so examiners can award full marks.

What we offer

  • 1-on-1 sessions tailored to your child's level and curriculum

  • Qualified tutors with curriculum and exam-board experience

  • Flexible scheduling to suit your calendar and timezone

Kenan has been teaching our son Mathematics and English and we couldn't be happier with him. Kenan has a very relaxed way with children but still keeps him focused and makes sure the work gets done. We've noticed that our son is much more confident with both subjects and doesn't…

What we cover

What we cover for Maths

    intro · core

    One-to-one sessions tailored to your child's level and goals so your child can focus on the areas that matter most.

Common mistakes

Where maths marks are lost

Most lost marks in maths come from how the answer is written, not from topics your child has never seen. These are the mistakes we fix most often.

Skipping steps in the working

Method marks are awarded for each correct step, so an answer with no working can score zero even when the final number is right. Your tutor trains your child to set out every line the way the marking guideline expects.

Algebra slips inside harder questions

A sign error or a wrongly expanded bracket can wreck a calculus or functions question your child understands. Lessons build accurate algebra through short daily practice, so the basics hold up under exam pressure.

Euclidean geometry without reasons

Every statement in a geometry proof needs a reason in the accepted form, and statements without reasons lose most of their marks. Your tutor drills the standard reasons and how to lay out a proof step by step.

Sketching graphs that miss key features

Graph questions award marks for intercepts, turning points and asymptotes, and learners often leave one out. Your tutor gives your child a checklist for every sketch until it becomes automatic.

Finance formulas with the wrong period or rate

Learners often forget to divide the interest rate and multiply the number of periods when interest compounds monthly or quarterly. Lessons practise identifying i and n from the wording before any calculation starts.

Calculator and rounding errors

A calculator left in radians, or rounding too early in a long calculation, costs marks at the end. Your tutor shows your child how to keep full values until the last step and how to check the calculator settings before each paper. ---

Study strategy

Study plan and exam strategy for Maths

A clear path from your syllabus or specification to exam day

  1. 1

    Ongoing

    Foundation and core concepts

    Build understanding of key topics with clear explanations and worked examples. Identify what your child finds hardest and prioritise those areas. We align to your child's syllabus or curriculum so they cover the right content.

  2. 2

    Before exams

    Past papers and exam technique

    Introduce past papers and marking schemes. Practise under timed conditions and learn how marks are awarded. Focus on question types and command words so your child answers what is asked.

  3. 3

    Revision period

    Targeted revision

    Concentrate on weak areas and common mistakes. Use active recall and spaced repetition where they help. We can tailor this to your child's exam board and subject.

  4. 4

    Final weeks

    Exam readiness

    Full past papers under exam conditions. Refine time management and presentation. Avoid last-minute cramming; focus on technique and confidence.

Tactics

  • Use past papers and mark schemes as the core of your child's revision.

  • Practise under timed conditions to build pace.

  • Target your child's weakest topics first, then consolidate strengths.

  • Get feedback on structure and presentation, not just content.

Recommended approach

A strong approach combines syllabus coverage, past papers, and structured revision. Start by mapping your child's syllabus and identifying gaps.

Use past papers early so you know the format and how marks are awarded. Practise under timed conditions and review your child's work with the mark scheme.

In the run-up to exams, focus on weak areas and full past papers. Time management and clear presentation matter as much as content.

Our tutors can tailor this to your child's curriculum and subject and help your child prioritise what will make the biggest difference.
