Online Math Tutor for Homeschoolers
Math is the subject homeschooling families hand over first, and it's rarely a failure of teaching. It's the subject where staying a chapter ahead stops working — usually around fractions, long division, or the first time a child asks why and the honest answer is "I'm not sure."
We teach one child at a time, live on Zoom, for grades 1 through 8.

Daytime lessons
Morning and early-afternoon slots, when your day actually has room in it — not squeezed in after a school day you don't have.
Alongside what you use
Keep your curriculum. We teach the idea your child is stuck on and hand them back able to carry on with the book you already own.
An outside read on progress
The hardest part of teaching your own child is having nobody to tell you whether it's going well. You get that in writing every week.
We Don't Sell You a Curriculum
This is worth being straight about, because most tutoring companies answer it one of two ways: either they run a proprietary program your child has to switch into, or they claim to be specialists in whichever curriculum you name.
We do neither. We've read the major programs closely — Singapore, Saxon, Beast Academy, Math-U-See — and what we teach is our own, built out of what each of them does well and what each tends to leave thin. We wrote up that comparison honestly, including where each one is a poor fit, in our guide to choosing a homeschool math curriculum.
The practical upshot is that we're not trying to convert you. If your child is working through Saxon at home, we teach the idea they're stuck on and hand them back able to carry on with Saxon. You keep the curriculum you chose, and the spine of your year stays yours.
What the First Month Looks Like
Homeschooling parents tend to ask this more precisely than anyone else, because you're the one who has to fit it into a week you designed yourself.
The trial lesson
A teacher works with your child for a full lesson while you get on with your day. The point isn't to impress you — it's to find out how your child thinks and where the ground stops being solid. You get our read afterwards, including if we think they don't need us.
The first few weeks
We start at the gap, not at whatever page your curriculum is open to. That sometimes means going back a year or two for a fortnight, which feels like losing ground and is the opposite. Once the missing idea is in place, the current work usually stops being a fight on its own.
What you get in writing
A short update every week — what we covered, how it went, and one thing to practise. At the end of the month, a fuller progress report. For a parent teaching without a staffroom to compare notes in, that written record is usually the part that ends up mattering most.
What Homeschooling Parents Actually Ask Us
Can you just take math off my hands entirely?
Yes, and for some families that's the right call — usually once a parent is teaching two or three children at different levels and math is the bottleneck in every one of them. More often we take one strand: the child who needs it, in the area they need, while you keep the rest.
My child is ahead. Is tutoring still worth it?
Often more so. A child who finds their curriculum easy isn't being stretched by it, and boredom does its own quiet damage. We cover this in our guide to tutoring for gifted children.
How do I know whether they're actually behind?
Without a class to compare against, this is genuinely hard, and it's the question we hear most. Our grade-by-grade breakdown lays out what each year is meant to cover and where students typically come unstuck, which is usually enough to tell.
Try a Free Lesson First
One daytime lesson, no card and nothing to cancel. A teacher works with your child, you see how they respond to someone who isn't you, and then we tell you what we'd do and what it would cost — in writing, before you decide anything.
