Online maths tutor
for UK students

One-to-one maths for UK families from £11 a class, taught by the same teacher every week — inside our own classroom software, not a video call. Key Stage 1 through GCSE.

Start with a free class 55 minutes · no card required

ClassArc is live one-to-one online maths tutoring for school-age children. One teacher and one child, for 55 minutes. The same teacher every week. Classes run inside our own classroom software, not a video call: a shared worksheet you both write on, a shared whiteboard, and answers that sync live.

How a class works · About ClassArc · Pricing

One teacher, one child,
every single class

Every ClassArc class is one teacher and one student for 55 minutes. Not a small group, and not a marketplace where a different tutor appears each week.

Your child works with the same teacher throughout, so nobody spends the first ten minutes working out what was covered last time — and the teacher knows which topics get quietly avoided.

1:1

One teacher, one student, the same pairing every week. No group calls, no rotating tutors.

Affordable enough to
keep going all year

Tutoring only helps if it keeps happening. A fee that feels fine in September and uncomfortable by February helps nobody, so ClassArc is priced to be something a UK family can sustain through the whole school year.

Affordable here does not mean cut back. Every class is the full 55 minutes, one to one, with a teacher who plans it around your child specifically — not a shared session or a recorded one.

There is nothing to pay on joining and nothing extra for materials, and if you stop, the classes you have not used are refunded.

from
£11

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

Three things that make the difference.

i

The same teacher,
every week.

Consistency matters because the teacher learns how your child thinks, where they struggled last week, and what needs to happen next. A marketplace that assigns whoever is free cannot offer that.

ii

Key Stage 1
through GCSE.

The English national curriculum from Year 1 to Year 11, taught to your school's exam board at GCSE — AQA, Edexcel or OCR.

iii

Our classroom,
not a video call.

A shared worksheet both of you write on, a shared whiteboard, and answers that sync live. Nothing to install.

Fifty-five minutes,
and none of it wasted

Every class follows the same shape, so your child always knows what is coming.

“

A method half understood in Year 7 becomes a lost mark in Year 11. We close the loop the same week.

Why the loop matters
i
🔍

Straight back in

The teacher opens last week's work and homework already marked. Nothing is re-explained and no time is spent catching up.

ii
✏️

Worked together

Teacher and student write on the same sheet at the same time. Your child watches a method appear rather than listening to one described.

iii
📐

Then on their own

A problem attempted unaided while the teacher watches the working form, stepping in at the point it goes wrong rather than at the end.

iv
📄

Homework that follows

Set from exactly what was taught that day, then reviewed together next class. The review is where it sticks.

Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3 and GCSE maths

We follow the English national curriculum, and teach to the exam board your school uses.

Our own classroom,
not a video call

Most online tutoring is a video call plus a shared PDF or a Google Doc. ClassArc built its own classroom instead, because a maths lesson needs more than two faces on a screen.

Teacher and student open the same interactive worksheet and both write on it at the same time, with a shared whiteboard beside it and typed answers appearing live.

Your child joins from a browser — no download, no meeting link to hunt for five minutes before the lesson.

“

For a subject worked on a page rather than spoken aloud, watching the working happen is the difference between correcting an answer and correcting an approach.

Why we built our own

Class times that
work from the UK

Our teachers are in India, which suits UK families well. Classes run from late afternoon through evening UK time — typically 3 PM to 9 PM, after school and before bedtime.

Times are set to your local clock, so you never do the arithmetic. WhatsApp reminders arrive 24 hours and 1 hour before each class, in UK time. Reschedule or cancel up to five minutes before a class starts.

What actually happens
in the free first class

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

The teacher uses it to find where your child actually is against their year group. That often means opening above their current topic and stepping back until the ground is firm, because a Year 9 student stuck on algebra is frequently carrying a Year 6 gap in fractions.

You will finish it knowing how the teacher explains things and whether your child engages with them. Subject knowledge and experience matter; so does whether a child is comfortable enough to say they are lost. If the match is not right, we will arrange a second free class with a different teacher.

“

One lesson is enough to judge a teacher. That is why the first is free, and why it is a real one rather than a sales call.

Why the first class is free

Six things that are
true of every class.

Not aspirations — these are the choices we made when we built ClassArc, and they hold for every family on the platform.

One-to-one, always

Never a group and never a class of thirty. Fifty-five minutes in which your child is the only student, so nobody hides at the back and nothing moves on before they are ready.

The same teacher every week

Not a marketplace where you rebook whoever is free on Thursday. The person who spotted the gap in October is the one who closes it in November.

Taught live, not recorded

Every class is a real lesson happening in real time. Recorded videos cannot notice that your child has gone quiet, or change tack when the first explanation does not land.

Our own classroom

Not a video call with a PDF. Teacher and student write on the same sheet, so a wrong step is caught on the line it happens rather than at the answer.

Your school's curriculum

We ask which year group and which board before the first class, and follow the National Curriculum your child is actually being taught.

Affordable, and priced to last

From £11 a class, with no joining fee and a refund on any unused balance. Tutoring that stops in February because of the invoices helps nobody.

The exam your child is actually sitting

Three routes through UK school maths, and they are not interchangeable.

Parent guides to every school year

What each year covers under the national curriculum, what is genuinely new, and where children get stuck — written for parents, sourced from GOV.UK.

Specialist courses and free UK resources

Beyond the year-by-year guides: the niche courses and the free material parents ask for most.

How much does an online maths tutor cost in the UK?
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 — ranges other people publish rather than a survey we ran. ClassArc starts at £11 a class on the Committed plan and £13 a class on Starter. Every class is 55 minutes, one-to-one, with the same teacher.
Do you use Zoom?
No. ClassArc built its own classroom platform. Teacher and student share an interactive worksheet that both can write on, a shared whiteboard, and answers that sync live. Your child joins from a browser — there is no app to install and no meeting link to hunt for. A video call plus a PDF is the standard setup elsewhere, and it is not the same thing.
Can my child get GCSE maths tutoring online?
Yes. We teach GCSE maths at both Foundation and Higher tier, across AQA, Edexcel and OCR. Classes cover the specification, past papers and exam technique. Most GCSE students take two or three classes a week in the months before the exam.
Will my child have the same tutor every week?
Yes. That is a deliberate part of how ClassArc works, not a scheduling accident. The same teacher every class means no re-explaining, and a teacher who knows exactly which topics your child finds hard. If the match is not right, we will set up another free demo with a different teacher.
What time are classes for UK students?
Typically between 3 PM and 9 PM UK time, after school and before bedtime. Times are shown in your local clock and reminders come by WhatsApp in UK time, 24 hours and 1 hour before each class.
Is the first class really free?
Yes, and no card is required. The free class is a real 55-minute lesson in the real classroom, not a sales call. The teacher assesses where your child actually is and starts teaching from there.
What if we want to stop?
You can stop at any point and we refund whatever class balance is left on your plan. No notice period, no questions.
Is online maths tutoring as effective as in person?
Research on tutoring consistently finds that one-to-one attention and frequency matter more than whether the tutor is in the room. What matters online is that the lesson is genuinely interactive rather than a lecture over video. In our classroom the teacher watches the working appear line by line, so a wrong step is caught where it happens rather than at the answer.
How do I choose a maths tutor for my child?
Three things matter more than qualifications on paper: whether your child gets the same tutor every week, whether the tutor starts by finding the gaps rather than following a script, and whether your child will actually talk to them. The free first class exists so you can judge all three before paying anything.
Do you help with KS2 SATs preparation?
Yes. Year 6 students work through the arithmetic and reasoning papers alongside the curriculum, with timed practice closer to the tests. Most start in Year 5 so the preparation is spread rather than crammed.
Who is ClassArc not the right fit for?
Families who want small-group classes at a lower price per child, an on-demand homework answering service rather than scheduled teaching, a different tutor each week from a marketplace, or recorded lessons to work through alone. We also would not be much use for last-minute cramming with no time to fix the gaps underneath. If any of those is what you are after, there are better options than us and we will say so.
