About Pocket Maths Tutor

Clear, supportive GCSE maths teaching from a qualified teacher

Pocket Maths Tutor was created to give students structured teaching, calm support and a clearer route through GCSE maths.

A £20 reservation payment secures a September Membership space. It is fully refundable if you cancel before 1 September 2026. If you continue, it is credited against the first month’s £50 fee, leaving £30 to pay.

Why I created PMT

Students often need clearer support, not simply more work

I have spent more than ten years working in education, including teaching mathematics, leading maths departments and supporting students through important choices and transitions.

During that time, I have seen many capable students lose confidence because they missed one method, struggled with the pace of a lesson or did not know how to organise their revision.

Pocket Maths Tutor was created to give families a more structured alternative. The aim is to combine clear teaching, regular support and useful resources in a way that feels manageable for students and reassuring for parents.

My teaching approach

Build understanding first, then build confidence

Effective maths support should help students understand what they are doing, recognise progress and feel able to try.

1

Explain clearly

Methods are broken down carefully before students are expected to apply them independently.

2

Build in steps

Students strengthen the foundations before moving towards more demanding GCSE questions.

3

Practise purposefully

Questions are chosen to develop understanding, accuracy and effective examination habits.

4

Support calmly

Students are encouraged to ask questions, make mistakes and keep moving without feeling judged.

Why the Membership model

Support that continues beyond one weekly lesson

PMT Membership combines live teaching with recordings, video lessons and support between sessions.

For students

Students have a clear weekly structure, different support pathways and somewhere to turn when they become stuck.

  • three weekly live pathways
  • Foundation and Higher support
  • lesson recordings
  • Pocket Lessons video library
  • Pocket Support during term time

For parents

Parents know that their child has structured GCSE maths support from a qualified teacher without needing to organise everything themselves.

  • clear Membership structure
  • straightforward pricing
  • professional communication
  • policies and safeguarding
  • an alternative to weekly private tuition

You have empowered them and made maths fun and enjoyable. My daughter has gone from not enjoying maths to now enjoying it and wanting to study A level, which I honestly wasn’t sure we would see.
