How a class works · About ClassArc · Pricing

One teacher, one student,
for the whole GCSE course

Every class is one teacher and one student for 55 minutes. Not a small group, and not a marketplace where the tutor changes between sessions.

Across two years of GCSE that continuity matters more than almost anything else — the teacher knows which topics your child quietly avoids, and returns to them rather than hoping they were understood.

1:1

Always one teacher to one student, and the same teacher every week. No group calls, no rotating tutors.

Affordable right through
Years 10 and 11

GCSE maths is a two-year course, and tutoring that stops in January because the invoices got uncomfortable is worse than tutoring that never started. Consistency to the exam is the whole point, so the price has to be one you can carry that far.

Affordable, not stripped back — a full 55 minutes, one to one, with the same teacher right through to the paper, and past-paper work built into the classes rather than sold as an add-on.

No joining fee, and any unused balance is refunded if you stop.

£14

per 55-minute, one-to-one class. The first class is free and no card is required.

Three things that change a GCSE result.

i

Fix the
foundation first.

A student stuck on quadratics usually has an unresolved Key Stage 3 gap underneath. We find it in the first class and repair it, rather than teaching Year 11 harder.

ii

Method marks,
not just answers.

GCSE rewards working. Our classroom shows the teacher your child's method line by line as they write it, so a wrong approach gets corrected, not just a wrong number.

iii

Papers under
real conditions.

Once content is solid, classes move to timed past papers, then work backwards through the mark scheme so your child learns where marks actually sit.

Fifty-five minutes,
built around the mark scheme

GCSE rewards method as much as answers, so a class is structured around producing working an examiner would credit.

“

A mistake left unexplained is just a habit waiting to form. We close the loop before the next paper.

Why the method matters
i
🔍

Last week's paper first

The teacher opens the previous homework or past paper and goes to the questions that lost marks, before anything new starts.

ii
✏️

The method, written out

Worked together on the shared sheet, with the steps an examiner needs to see written in full rather than skipped.

iii
⏱️

A question under time

Your child attempts one unaided, timed as it would be in the exam, while the teacher watches the approach form.

iv
📄

Targeted practice set

Homework aimed at the specific topic that wobbled, not a general worksheet. Reviewed at the start of the next class.

The full GCSE maths specification, both tiers

We teach to the board your school uses, and to the tier your child is entered for.

Our own classroom,
not a video call

Most online tutoring is a video call plus a shared PDF. ClassArc built its own classroom instead.

Teacher and student write on the same interactive worksheet simultaneously, with a shared whiteboard for setting out a full method and answers that appear as they are typed.

Your child joins from a browser. Nothing to install, which matters more than it sounds at 6pm on a school night.

“

For a subject where the method carries most of the marks, watching the working happen is the difference between correcting an answer and correcting an approach.

Why we built our own

What actually happens
in the free first class

The first class is free, runs the full 55 minutes, and is a real GCSE lesson. No card is needed to book it.

The teacher uses it to work out which grade your child is currently sitting at and which topics are costing the marks. That usually means a few questions from a past paper, then going backwards until the underlying gap appears — a Higher tier student losing marks on quadratics often has an expanding-brackets problem.

You will come away knowing how the teacher explains a method and whether your child follows it. Experience with the specification matters, and so does whether your child will admit when they are lost. If the match is wrong, we will arrange a second free class with a different teacher.

“

By the end of the first class you should have a straight answer about where your child is and what is costing the marks.

What the free class is for

Six things that are
true of every class.

Two years is a long commitment. These are the things you can count on for the whole of it.

One-to-one, never a revision group

Group revision costs less per head and works for the students who are already close. A student losing method marks needs someone watching only them.

The same teacher to the exam

Not a different tutor each session from a marketplace. One person who has watched the whole course and knows where the marks are going.

Live teaching, not video revision

There is no shortage of GCSE maths videos, and they are free. What they cannot do is notice that your child has followed step one and lost step two.

A classroom that shows the working

GCSE awards method marks. Our classroom lets the teacher see each line as it is written, which is the only way to fix how a child sets an answer out.

Your tier and your exam board

AQA, Edexcel and OCR ask the same maths in different ways. We teach the paper your child is actually sitting, at the tier they are entered for.

Affordable across both years

From £14 a class with past-paper work included rather than sold as an add-on, no joining fee, and a refund on any unused balance.

The two GCSE years, in detail

What each year of the course involves, written for parents rather than for teachers.

How much does a GCSE maths tutor cost?
Published guides most often quote £15 to £40 an hour for online maths tuition in the UK, and £25 to £60 for private maths tutors generally — those are ranges other people publish rather than a survey we ran. ClassArc's Years 9–11 band starts at £14 a class on the Committed plan and £16 a class on Starter, for 55-minute one-to-one lessons with the same teacher each time.
Do you cover AQA, Edexcel and OCR?
Yes, all three, at both Foundation and Higher tier. Tell us the board and tier and we teach that specification, using that board's past papers for exam practice.
When should my child start GCSE tutoring?
Year 10 is ideal, because there is time to fix gaps from Key Stage 3 before they compound. Starting in Year 11 still works, but the balance shifts towards targeted repair and exam technique rather than teaching the course properly.
Can you help move a student from Foundation to Higher tier?
Sometimes, and we will tell you honestly whether it is realistic in the time available. Moving tiers means covering additional topics while consolidating existing ones, so it depends on how much time is left and how solid the foundation is.
Do you use Zoom?
No. ClassArc built its own classroom platform. Teacher and student share an interactive worksheet they both write on, plus a shared whiteboard and answers that sync live. Your child joins from a browser on a laptop, Chromebook or tablet — nothing to install.
Is the first class free?
Yes, and no card is required. It is a real 55-minute lesson where the teacher works out where your child actually is, which for GCSE usually means finding the Key Stage 3 gaps sitting underneath the current topic.
Is online GCSE maths tutoring as good as in person?
For many students it is, as long as the lesson is genuinely two-way. The risk with online tutoring is a tutor talking over a screen share, which is not what happens here. Our classroom shows the teacher every line of the method, which is where GCSE marks are actually won and lost.
Are maths tutors worth it for GCSE?
They are worth it when the problem is a specific gap rather than general effort. A student stuck on algebra usually has an unresolved Key Stage 3 topic underneath, and one-to-one time finds it in a way a class of thirty cannot. If your child is simply not doing the work, a tutor alone will not fix that.
How many hours of GCSE maths tutoring does my child need?
Two 55-minute classes a week through Years 10 and 11 is the usual pattern, moving to three in the months before the exam. Starting in Year 10 matters more than the hours per week — it leaves time to repair foundations before revision has to begin.
Who is ClassArc not the right fit for?
Families who want group revision classes at a lower price per student, a different tutor each session from a marketplace, or a self-paced video course to work through alone. We are also the wrong fit if you want exam technique taught on its own — technique earns marks, but it cannot carry a student who is unsure of the method underneath it.
