Maths Tutors Hedge End
Tutoring Heroes has had an excellent reputation for delivering quality maths tutoring in Hedge End since we first started in 2019. Our online reviews from parents and students in Hedge End and the surrounding area show that our experienced tutors get results.
Our first maths classes were held in a small Hedge End location with a maximum group size of three students. We ran two regular sessions per week. We didn’t realise how popular these practical lessons would become, soon we had to relocate our classes to the Underhill Centre, due to its larger capacity and better facilities for larger groups.
When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, we were forced to rethink how Tutoring Heroes operated. In-person classes were no longer possible in Hedge End so we moved to online tutoring.
Conducting online classes wasn’t something we’d considered before, but it actually worked out very well for students and our Tutoring Heroes team. Instead of running group sessions we decided to focus on private tuition. This new teaching format allowed our maths tutors to offer more personalised support and create bespoke tutoring for students’ specific academic needs. Each maths pupil benefited from lesson plans designed around their preferred learning style and maths level.
Online tutoring has also had the added benefit that we can recruit a team of tutors from all over the United Kingdom, as opposed to before when we could only use maths teachers and tutors from the Hedge End Hampshire area.
By 2023 our team of highly-qualified tutors had supported primary and secondary pupils in most of the schools in and around Hedge End, including Shamblehurst Primary School, Berrywood Primary School, Wellstead Primary School, Freegrounds Junior School, Kings Copse Primary School and Wildern School.
Our online classes offer support to primary school pupils with the four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We also help older students at GCSE and A level not only to get their all-important predicted grades, but in many instances, to surpass them!
Since Tutoring Heroes adapted to online tutoring, parents have reported many benefits, not only to the advancement of their child’s maths skills but also in how convenient scheduling tuition has become. Before parents were required to travel to sessions and many students were unable to attend our timetabled classes due to clashes with their other extracurricular commitments. Now our flexible tutors can provide sessions at a student’s convenience.
All of our private tutors have been background checked and have previous tutoring experience.
Why trust Tutoring Heroes for your child's maths tutoring?
Our secret to academic success in maths is combining three essential ingredients:
Fortify Skills
All of our maths tutors have in-depth knowledge of the key maths topics that make up the primary and secondary maths curriculum. Our maths classes are designed to not only teach maths skills but to fortify a student’s problem-solving ability, to develop critical thinking and a methodology to mathematics that helps them not only to understand the question at hand but to give them the tools and logic to tackle any questions in the future.
Encourage enjoyment
We want school kids and secondary school maths pupils to enjoy their time in education. We find that the best maths teachers not only have an in-depth understanding of the maths curriculum but know how to deliver it within a fun learning environment. Engaging a student in maths through combining learning with fun is an important skill to cultivate a student’s passion and dedication for the subject. We only hire maths tutors who are charismatic with strong communication skills.
Build Confidence
In school students are often being taught at the same time as 30 other students. Not everyone feels confident speaking up, answering questions and asking for support in this type of environment. Private tuition allows students to ask crucial questions immediately and resolve moments of confusion in five minutes instead of leaving a classroom confused and frustrated. This has a big impact on a student’s confidence in maths and in turn, their academic progress in school.
Meet some of our tutors
Fred is currently pursuing a Masters in Physics at the University of Edinburgh. Not only does he possess an exemplary level of mathematical knowledge but also the enthusiasm, charisma and communication skills to make him a fun and patient tutor.
Fred’s problem-solving skills, his interest in maths and physics, and strong academic background have led him on an exciting career path. Whilst working on a university project at the UK Centre for Astrobiology he investigated the possibility of plastic biodegradation in the International Space Station! This type of real-life application of mathematics really excites and engages students so they can find their own passion for the subject.
Over the last two years, whilst working for a charity called Children’s Holiday Venture, Fred gained excellent experience developing, organising and running programmes for young people aged 13-18 to help them develop their emotional wellbeing, confidence and social skills.
At the weekend Fred is an assistant football coach for an after-school football club. Working with children under the age of 10, this role has built his communication skills and ability to entertain and engage young people. He developed training strategies through planning and evaluating each session to make sure everyone was having fun whilst improving and developing their skills as team players.

Academic levels that we support
Our team of expert tutors start offering maths tuition to primary school pupils studying Key Stage 2, in years 3, 4, 5 and 6. The idea of extra tuition at this stage is to offer tailored guidance to further support what their qualified teacher is delivering in their school classes, in alignment with the maths curriculum. We find that even the best primary school teacher can struggle to cater for every child’s specific needs which is why our private tutoring can offer peace of mind to parents and prevent a pupil from falling behind their fellow classmates.
Online lessons help KS2 level students to boost their baseline maths skills and give them the extra practice they need to master addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Private tuition allows for the development of unique lesson plans that specifically tackle each student’s requirements in a lesson format that suits their personality and learning style.
Primary school pupils are often nervous about taking their first exams. Whether they need a boost to their functional skills or help preparing for a school entrance exam, 11+, 13+ or SATs, private lessons can provide them with focused study resources, top exam taking tips suited for their level and the extra confidence they need to perform their best on the day.
Moving to secondary school can be quite a shock for young people. Some students are intimidated by being around new people, in larger classes and with many more distractions. Our amazing tutors know exactly how to nurture a student’s confidence and plug any knowledge gaps so students don’t get left behind in years 7, 8 and 9 (Key Stage 3).
When students start their GCSEs in year 10, suddenly they begin to feel an overwhelming pressure. Coursework, exam preparation, confusion about their future (as well as distractions from their social life) can all culminate in anxiety and frustration in the more difficult subjects such as maths. Our online tutors can provide a GCSE maths student with time management skills, exam revision support for all major exam boards and help in specific topic areas.
Likewise, AS and A level maths students can often struggle with exams and suffer in silence. They often feel added pressure to achieve certain grades to get into their university of choice that will set them off on their chosen career path. A private tutor can support a student in mastering complex concepts and vital exam techniques to maximise on the exam marking criteria.
The Tutoring Heroes team is already giving private tuition to many students in Hedge End primary and secondary schools. Get in contact today and we will match you with the perfect tutor.
