Primary maths tutors help children build confident number sense, master times tables and tackle problem-solving well before the Year 6 SATs. One-to-one sessions let the tutor identify exactly which concepts a child finds tricky and address them without the time pressure of a class of thirty.
London has the highest demand for private tutors in the UK, driven by competitive grammar and independent school entry processes.

Why students need help
Many children hit a wall with column addition, fractions or long multiplication, not because they lack ability but because the class moved on before the concept clicked. A primary maths tutor spots the precise gap and fills it, building confidence that carries into secondary school.
At what age should my child start maths tutoring?
There is no single right age. Some parents start at Year 1 if their child is struggling with phonics and number bonds simultaneously. Others wait until Year 4 or 5 when fractions and long division become challenging. The most common starting points are Year 3 (multiplication tables become statutory) and Year 5–6 (SATs preparation). A brief assessment call with a tutor will tell you quickly whether extra support is needed.
How much does a primary maths tutor cost in the UK?
Primary maths tutors typically charge £20–£45 per hour depending on location and experience. Highly qualified tutors or those with a specialist SEN background may charge more. Online sessions are sometimes slightly cheaper because there are no travel costs.
Will a primary maths tutor help with SATs preparation?
Yes, most primary maths tutors are very familiar with the Year 6 SATs format (arithmetic and reasoning papers) and will build targeted practice into sessions from Year 5 onwards. They will also address the underlying concepts so your child genuinely understands the material rather than just drilling past papers.
How often should my child have maths tutoring?
Once a week is the most common frequency. It is enough to make consistent progress without overwhelming a young child. Some families move to twice a week in the final term before SATs. More important than frequency is regularity, keeping sessions at the same time each week helps children build routine.
