How to Find the Right Maths Tutor: 5 Steps to a Perfect Match

Finding the right Maths tutor should be a deliberate choice, not guesswork. In this video, Spires tutor Mark explains a clear process to identify the tutor who fits your goals—whether you are aiming for a top grade, securing a pass, or rebuilding confidence. You will learn how to define your objectives, what to ask before and during a trial lesson, and how to judge real progress from the very first session.

Fit matters as much as qualifications. If you need advanced A-Level or university support, choose a tutor who teaches at that level. If you are targeting a GCSE pass and need reassurance and patient explanations, prioritise communication style and rapport. Spires conducts full background checks on every tutor, so you can focus on learning with peace of mind. And remember: you are not locked in—if a match is not working, switch quickly and keep momentum.
