Your child talks through what feels easy, what feels confusing, and what usually happens when maths starts to feel stressful.
GCSE maths support in Hull
GCSE maths tutoring in Hull that starts with understanding.
If your child is working hard but still feels stuck, they may not need louder revision or more worksheets. They may need someone to notice what is already secure, where confidence drops and exactly where the working starts to break down.
Hi, I’m Amir from Hull Maths Tutor. I have a maths degree, QTS, and 16 years’ secondary maths teaching experience. I support Foundation, Higher and post-16 resit students in Hull and online, with a diagnostic approach that starts from how your child is actually thinking.

The foundation problem
More questions do not fix a broken foundation.
Most students do not need endless new questions. They need to understand their own working.
When a student gets a multi-step algebra, ratio or geometry question wrong, a typical tutor might simply reteach the topic. I ask: “Talk me through what you were thinking on this line.”
Usually, the student knows more than they realise. The issue is often a mix of topic gaps, confidence, routine, and the way they have learned to approach questions.
Once we understand what is really going on, the next step becomes calmer, clearer and much more specific.
Maths MOT & Action Plan
A clear diagnostic first step before committing to lessons.
The £45 Maths MOT & Action Plan is a relaxed in-person diagnostic assessment for families who want a clearer starting point before regular tuition.
It looks at real working, strengths, gaps and confidence, then gives parents practical next steps.

The diagnostic process
How I build a clear plan without pressure.
Understand
I look at their working to identify strengths, topic gaps, confidence patterns, and the way they seem to learn best.
Plan
You receive clear feedback and a personalised action plan, with calm next steps you can understand as a parent.
Quiet confidence
“Before we add more work, I want to understand how your child is thinking, where confidence drops, and what routine would help them feel ready to try.”
The aim is not to pile on more work. It is to understand what is getting in the way.
About Amir
A local qualified teacher parents can speak to directly.
I’m Amir at Hull Maths Tutor. I have a maths degree, QTS, and 16 years’ secondary maths teaching experience helping students make sense of GCSE maths.
I work calmly with students who feel anxious, stuck or frustrated by GCSE maths. Some arrive convinced maths just is not for them, when they are often much closer than they think. My job is to help them understand their own working, rebuild confidence, and move forward without making them feel foolish.
I also support neurodivergent learners and understand that trust, routine, patience and confidence can matter just as much as the maths content itself.
Particular support is available for students working around the crucial Grade 3-5 boundary, where small gaps in fluency, method choice or exam habits can hide behind the same grade.
- Maths degree, QTS and 16 years’ secondary experience
- Clear explanations without judgement
- Focused practice, not random worksheets
- Support for anxious and neurodivergent learners
- Trust, routine, patience and confidence taken seriously
- Local Hull support, online or in person
- Clear parent updates and practical next steps
Regular weekly tuition
What weekly GCSE maths tuition looks like.
Regular one-to-one GCSE maths tuition is shaped around the student in front of me: their school work, confidence, exam tier, gaps and the action plan we agree.
A typical lesson starts by checking what has stuck since the last session, then moves into focused teaching and guided practice. We slow down the exact step that feels uncertain, make the working visible, and build towards questions the student can try more independently.
Review
Revisit recent work, school topics or agreed priorities so practice does not become random.
Teach
Explain the missing step clearly, using the student's own working to show where the method changes.
Practise
Move from guided questions into GCSE-style practice, with confidence, layout and exam habits built in.
Parents receive clear updates and practical next steps, so everyone knows what is improving and what still needs attention.
Clear pricing
Clear options for GCSE maths support.
Some families begin with the Maths MOT. Others move straight into regular tuition or a focused intensive session, depending on what the student needs.

Frequently asked questions
The practical details, clearly answered.
If your question is not here, include it in the enquiry form and I will reply personally.
Do you only teach GCSE maths?
The main focus is GCSE maths, including students rebuilding earlier foundations and post-16 students preparing for a resit.
Do you offer online lessons?
Yes. Some one-to-one GCSE maths tuition can be arranged online, using shared working so each step can be explained, practised, and reviewed together.
Do you offer in-person lessons in Hull?
Yes. The Maths MOT & Action Plan is an in-person diagnostic assessment, and regular tuition can also be arranged in person depending on area and timetable.
What happens in the £45 Maths MOT & Action Plan?
We work through carefully chosen questions in a relaxed way, look at your child’s working, and talk about what feels difficult. I identify strengths, gaps, confidence issues and how your child learns best, then give parents clear feedback and a personalised action plan.
What if my child lacks confidence?
That is a common starting point. I slow things down, make progress visible, and build challenge gradually so confidence can grow alongside the maths.
Do you support neurodivergent learners?
Yes. I support neurodivergent learners and understand that trust, routine, patience and confidence can make a real difference to how a student engages with maths.
Do you support Foundation and Higher GCSE?
Yes. Support is shaped around the student’s current level, exam tier, topic gaps, and goals.
Can tutoring align with school work?
Where appropriate, and with parent permission, I can contact school or review published curriculum information so tutoring supports what is happening in class.
