Maths Tuition in London | Online Maths Tutor, KS2 to A Level

What does maths tuition in London with us involve?

We are an online maths tutor for London learners aged 6 to 67. Lessons are live on video with a real teacher, in groups of five to ten learners at one level or one to one. We cover KS2 maths and Year 6 SATs preparation, the Year 4 multiplication tables check, KS3 maths, GCSE maths at foundation or higher tier on the AQA, Edexcel or OCR specification, IGCSE, A level Maths and Further Maths, and adult maths including Functional Skills and GCSE maths resits. Every course mixes exam practice with real data; our London example asks whether 40 Santander Cycles docking stations can tell you the average size of all of them. The first lesson is free. After that a group place is USD 100 a month and one-to-one lessons are USD 150 a month.

Every stage

A maths tutor in London for KS2, KS3, GCSE and A level

London schools teach the national curriculum for England, whichever borough they sit in, so the stages below apply from Havering to Hillingdon. Adults pick up wherever they stopped.

Maths stages for London learners and the focus of our lessons at each
Stage	School years	Where our lessons put the weight
KS1	Years 1 and 2	Counting, number bonds to 20 and 100, halves and quarters, telling the time.
KS2	Years 3 to 6	Times tables before the Year 4 check, long multiplication and division, fractions, and the reasoning papers of Year 6 SATs maths.
KS3	Years 7 to 9	Algebra, ratio and proportion, angles, probability and first statistics, built carefully because GCSE rests on them.
GCSE	Years 10 and 11	Foundation or higher tier, matched to AQA, Edexcel or OCR, including sampling, histograms and scatter graphs.
A level	Years 12 and 13	Pure, statistics and mechanics, with Further Maths for learners who want more proof and more abstraction.
Adults	Any age to 67	Functional Skills maths, GCSE maths resits, refreshers and maths for work.

KS2 maths and Year 6 SATs

The multiplication tables check is statutory for Year 4 pupils at state-funded schools in England, so most London children meet it at eight or nine. We teach the tables as connected facts: a child who knows 6 × 7 can work out 6 × 8 by adding one more six, and that habit is what survives a nervous morning.

Year 6 SATs maths rewards children who can explain an answer, not just reach it. Our KS2 lessons spend real time on questions such as why 3/4 is larger than 5/8, because the reasoning papers are built from exactly that kind of question.

GCSE, IGCSE and A level

A GCSE maths tutor has to know which board and tier a learner sits. We teach to the specification the school uses, AQA, Edexcel or OCR, and we decide with the family whether foundation or higher tier fits. Learners at schools that enter the international papers follow our IGCSE course instead.

Our national pages explain each stage in more depth: KS2 maths, KS3 maths, GCSE maths, IGCSE maths, A level maths and Further Maths.

The London project

How big is a typical Santander Cycles docking station?

TfL publishes every docking station with its number of docks. That makes it a rare thing in statistics: a population we can see in full, so we can test how well samples do.

On 1 October 2026 we downloaded the cycle hire list from the TfL open data service. Each docking station comes with a name, a position and the number of docks it has, and every station in the list was marked as installed. Across all of them the mean is 26.29 docks per station and the median is 24.

The smallest station in the list has 10 docks, at Royal Avenue 1 in Chelsea. The largest has 63, at Jubilee Plaza in Canary Wharf. The standard deviation, which measures how far a typical station sits from the mean, is 8.55 docks.

Now imagine a GCSE student who cannot download the list and has to walk around counting docks. They might visit 40 stations. The question every statistics course asks is how close the average of those 40 will be to the true 26.29, and whether the way they choose the 40 matters.

To test it we split London into three rings by straight-line distance from a point in Trafalgar Square that we chose as the centre. Then we drew samples of 40 in four different ways and repeated each one 10,000 times, keeping a record of every estimate.

Santander Cycles docking stations by distance from Trafalgar Square, our calculation from TfL data on 1 October 2026
Ring	Stations	Mean docks per station
Under 3 km	299	25.16
3 km to under 6 km	349	26.21
6 km and over	153	28.67
Every station in the list	All of the above	26.29

Notice that the outer ring has larger stations on average, 28.67 docks against 25.16 in the middle of town. A sample that only visits central stations will therefore guess too low. That is bias, and the next section measures exactly how much it costs.

Data: TfL Unified API, BikePoint, read 1 October 2026. Powered by TfL Open Data. The rings, the centre point and every average above are Modern Age Coders' calculations, not TfL figures. Dock counts change as stations are rebuilt.

Sampling, measured

Four ways to choose 40 stations, tested 10,000 times each

The DfE content for GCSE maths asks students to "infer properties of populations or distributions from a sample, whilst knowing the limitations of sampling". Here are those limitations, counted.

Estimates of the mean docks per station from samples of 40, repeated 10,000 times (our simulation)
How the 40 were chosen	Middle 90% of estimates	Within 1 dock of 26.29
Simple random: any 40, every station equally likely	24.18 to 28.55	55.1%
Stratified: 15 inner, 17 middle, 8 outer, each at random	24.23 to 28.50	55.2%
Convenience: 40 at random from the inner ring only	23.02 to 27.35	39.0%
Systematic: every 20th station by terminal number	24.57 to 28.20	80.0%

What the numbers say

The convenience sample is the one a tired student takes: stay in the centre where the stations are close together. Its estimates centre on 25.15 rather than 26.29, so even ten thousand of them would never average out to the truth. Only 39.0% land within one dock.

Stratifying by ring barely helped here, 55.2% against 55.1%. That surprises students, but it makes sense: the three rings have fairly similar means, so knowing which ring a station is in tells you little about its size. Stratification pays off when the groups really differ.

The surprise winner

The systematic sample, taking every 20th station in order of its terminal number from a random start, did far better than the others: 80.0% within one dock and a spread of estimates of 0.98 docks against 1.32 for simple random sampling.

We have not checked why. One reasonable guess is that neighbouring terminal numbers tend to be stations of a similar type, so spreading the sample evenly through the list covers every type. Testing that guess is a good A level statistics exercise in its own right.

At KS3 we use this data for mean, median and range. At GCSE the focus is the sampling methods and the word bias. At A level students find the standard error, compare it with 8.55 ÷ √40, and ask why the simulation and the formula agree so closely.

All simulation figures are Modern Age Coders' calculations from the TfL list above (10,000 repetitions of each method, fixed random seed). GCSE wording: DfE, GCSE mathematics subject content.

Maths around London

Six Maths Hubs, the Ri Masterclasses and the 11 plus boroughs

A great deal of maths support in London happens through schools rather than through families. We describe it so parents know what exists; we run none of it.

NCETM Maths Hubs that serve London, with the lead school and council areas each page lists
Maths Hub	Lead	London council areas
London Central and North West	The St Marylebone CE School, Westminster	Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey, Islington, Westminster
London Central and West	Fox Primary School, Kensington and Chelsea	Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Kensington and Chelsea
London North East	Elmhurst Primary School, Newham	Barking and Dagenham, Hackney, Havering, Newham, Redbridge, Waltham Forest
London South East Plus	Redriff Primary School, Southwark	Bexley, City of London, Greenwich, Lewisham, Southwark, Tower Hamlets
London South West	Belleville Primary and Chesterton Primary	Kingston upon Thames, Merton, Richmond upon Thames, Sutton, Wandsworth
London Thames	Harris City Academy, Crystal Palace	Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth

Royal Institution Masterclasses

The Ri Masterclasses began in London: the Royal Institution says that in 1981 the first ones for secondary students were set up, "offering London children the opportunity to discover new mathematics". It adds that "Quite a few London series are administered by the Ri team".

The Ri is clear that "Masterclasses are free to attend, school students are nominated by their teacher", usually at ages 9 to 10 and 13 to 14. A keen London learner should ask a maths teacher about a nomination. Between them, the six hubs in the table cover all 32 boroughs and the City; the London Central and North West Maths Hub, for example, works with schools from Barnet to Westminster.

11 plus maths in London boroughs

Several outer boroughs still have selective schools with their own tests. We have separate pages on 11 plus maths for Barnet, Bexley, Enfield, Kingston, Redbridge and Sutton, each about that borough's test.

This page is the general one: maths for every age and stage across all of London. For competition maths, our UKMT maths challenge page covers the Junior, Intermediate and Senior challenges.

Grown-up learners

A maths tutor for adults in London: Functional Skills, resits and refreshers

Many of our London learners are adults: people resitting GCSE maths for a course or a job, parents who want to follow homework, and professionals who use numbers every day and want to trust them.

GCSE maths resit

Our GCSE course takes resit candidates and starts from what the learner actually knows, which is rarely what the last result suggests. Most adults move faster than they expect once fractions and percentages make sense.

Functional Skills maths

Practical maths for work and training: percentages, measures, data and problem solving in context. Our Functional Skills page explains how we teach it.

Refreshers and work maths

Ratios, spreadsheets, statistics for reports, and the sampling ideas on this page. See our page on maths classes for adults.

Adults often enjoy the docking station project more than teenagers do, because they have stood at a full station looking for a free dock. The question of whether a sample of 40 can speak for the whole network is one they meet at work all the time, in surveys, audits and customer feedback.

Progress

Four stages from number facts to judging a sample

This is the order in which the ideas build. A new learner can join at any stage; the free lesson shows us where.

How London learners move from arithmetic to statistical judgement
Typical years	Stage	How we know it is secure
Years 3 and 4	1. Number facts	Recalls tables to 12 × 12 and derives a forgotten one from a neighbour
Years 5 to 7	2. Written methods	Multiplies, divides and handles fractions and decimals accurately on paper
Years 8 to 10	3. Algebra and averages	Forms equations and chooses between mean, median and mode for a data set
Years 10 to 13	4. Inference	Explains how a sample was chosen and how far its answer can be trusted

Joining in Year 10 or 11

A GCSE learner who starts late can still make real progress, provided we repair the foundations first. Weak algebra, in particular, undermines almost every higher-tier topic.

If the time before the exam is shorter than the gap to close, we will say so plainly after the free lesson.

After GCSE

Many learners continue to A level Maths or Further Maths. Others take our statistics and probability course, where sampling is studied properly.

Some go on to maths through coding and rebuild the docking station simulation as a short Python program.

London maths questions

What London families and adult learners ask before booking

How much does a maths tutor cost in London?

With us the first lesson is free. After that, a place in a group of five to ten costs USD 100 a month and one-to-one tuition costs USD 150 a month, with no joining fee and no fixed term.

Is online maths tuition as good as face to face?

For most learners it works as well, provided the lesson is live and the teacher can see the working. Our lessons are live on video with a shared whiteboard, and the teacher watches each step rather than only the final answer.

What is stratified sampling?

Stratified sampling splits a population into groups, called strata, and then samples from each group in proportion to its size. It improves accuracy when the groups differ from one another; in our London cycle dock data the rings were too similar for it to help much.

Can you help with a GCSE maths resit?

Yes. Our GCSE course takes resit candidates of any age. We start by finding which topics are secure and which are not, then rebuild the weak ones before moving on to exam practice.

Do you teach Further Maths?

Yes. Learners who take Further Maths alongside A level Maths can study the extra pure, statistics and mechanics content with us, one to one or in a group if one at the right level is running.

Which exam boards do you teach for GCSE maths?

AQA, Edexcel and OCR, at foundation or higher tier. We also teach IGCSE for learners whose schools enter the international papers.

What is the best way to prepare for the Year 4 multiplication tables check?

Short, frequent practice that links facts together works far better than long drills. We teach children to derive a fact they forget from one they know, so 7 × 8 can be rebuilt from 7 × 4 doubled.

Do you offer 11 plus maths for London boroughs?

Yes. We have separate pages for Barnet, Bexley, Enfield, Kingston, Redbridge and Sutton, each describing that borough's test. This page covers general maths tuition for every age.

Are you connected with the London Maths Hubs or the Royal Institution?

No. We describe their public activities so families know about them. We have no link with the NCETM, any Maths Hub, the Royal Institution, TfL or any London school.

Do you promise particular grades?

No. We teach carefully and report progress honestly, but no tutor can promise an exam grade and we do not.
