How Pocket Maths Tutor works

One clear support system for GCSE maths

Pocket Maths Tutor brings together live teaching, on-demand video lessons, help between sessions and optional individual support. Parents can see the full structure at a glance, while students always know where to go next.

The main membership provides the regular structure. One-to-one support is an optional extra, not something every student needs.

The complete picture

Four connected parts, each with a clear purpose

PMT is designed to avoid random revision and disconnected resources. Each part supports a different stage of learning, from first explanation to independent practice and focused help.

A simple weekly rhythm

Students always have a sensible next step

The system is flexible, but the routine is deliberately straightforward.

1

Attend

Join the live pathway lesson that best matches the student’s current confidence and target.

2

Revisit

Use the lesson recording or a focused Pocket Lesson to review a method and practise it again.

3

Ask

Send a focused Pocket Support question if one step is still causing difficulty.

4

Go deeper

Add a one-to-one session only when a wider topic or individual priority needs more time.

What this means for parents

Clear support without having to manage the maths yourself

You do not need to decide every topic, find a new resource each week or work out how to explain a difficult method.

PMT gives your child a structured place to learn, revisit and ask for help, with support led by a qualified maths teacher.

The aim is steady progress and stronger confidence over time, not pressure, unrealistic promises or more work for the sake of it.

Questions parents ask

How It Works FAQs

Is PMT the same as weekly one-to-one tuition?

No. The core membership is a structured group support system with live lessons, on-demand lessons and help between sessions. One-to-one sessions are available separately when individual support would add clear value.

Which part should my child use first?

The live lessons provide the main weekly structure. Pocket Lessons help students revisit or fill a gap, while Pocket Support is for a focused question when they are stuck.

What happens if my child misses a live lesson?

Live lessons are recorded so students can catch up. They can also use a related Pocket Lesson where one is available.

Can the support change as my child improves?

Yes. A student’s pathway and the way they use the different parts of PMT can change as their confidence, school work and target develop.

Does PMT guarantee a particular GCSE grade?

No. PMT provides teaching, structure, practice and support, but no tutor can guarantee a specific examination result. Progress also depends on attendance, effort and the student applying the guidance provided.
