The initial reaction of both parent and student may be that receiving face to face maths tuition would be more beneficial than receiving it online. However, this is not necessarily true. Over recent years the services offered by online maths tutors have proven to be particularly effective in improving the grades of GCSE maths students. This is for a wide variety of reasons. First and foremost, an online maths tutor can present maths teaching in a fun and interactive way which students can relate to. Moreover, the tutoring is much more tailored to the individual than would otherwise be achievable in schools.

Making use of an online GCSE maths tutor also eliminates the need for the student to travel in order to be tutored. The student can receive the very best tutoring from the comfort and safety of their own home. Moreover, using online tutors means that the student is not reliant upon the availability of a good maths tutor in the local area. Students from anywhere in the world can make use of an online maths tutor. This is particularly important in remote parts of the country or in areas of the world where English is not the local language.

It has been found that children learn best in small groups of no more than 15 pupils. If the group is too large then the student will not receive the dedicated attention that is required as the tutor’s attention will be far too divided. Conversely, if the student is isolated they will miss a learning opportunity that comes from students being able to compare their work and learn from each other. An online GCSE maths tutor should offer tuition in groups of around 6-10 students in order to create the optimum learning experience.
