Current offer: Block 1 now £4.99

Affordable GCSE Maths support for students who are struggling, losing confidence, or falling behind — without the cost of weekly tutoring

Home Tutor Academy provides structured, step-by-step GCSE Maths lessons that do not just give answers — they teach students how to think, apply methods, and improve exam performance.

Powered by AI, students can ask questions freely, revisit explanations, and work through problems at their own pace without feeling judged or embarrassed for needing repeated help.

Lessons are fully interactive and can be used with either voice or text, making them flexible and accessible for different learners.

No technical knowledge is needed. All you need is a free ChatGPT account and a notebook for jottings and working out.

Block 1 now £4.99

Start with Block 1: Core Number Foundations. A structured first block designed to rebuild confidence, strengthen weak number skills, and prepare students for harder GCSE topics.

Why it works

  • No more “I don’t get it”: students can ask questions again and again without pressure.
  • Fixes weak foundations: builds the core skills many students are missing.
  • Feels like real tutoring: step-by-step teaching, not random questions.
  • Builds confidence fast: students start to understand, not just copy.
  • Much lower cost: a real alternative to £30–£40 per session tutors.

Early feedback from parents and students

Here is some of the early feedback from families using Home Tutor Academy.

“My son usually gives up quite quickly with maths, but he stuck with this for over half an hour without me prompting him. That never happens!"

Gemma - Year 10 Mom

“We’ve tried using ChatGPT before and it's perfect for one-off questions, but this is completely different. It actually teaches step by step instead of just giving answers.”

Steve - Dad of two

“My daughter said it explained things better than school. She liked that she could go back and ask again without feeling embarrassed.”

Suki - Year 11 Mom

“I’m not great at maths myself, so this takes the pressure off me trying to explain things. It’s really helpful having something structured.”

Denise - Year 10 Mom

“For the price, it’s a no-brainer. It feels much closer to tutoring than anything else we’ve tried online.”

Abdul - Year 9 Dad

On the first test submission, FormSubmit may send a confirmation email to activate the form. After that, submissions should come straight through.

What the trial includes

  • One structured GCSE Maths sample lesson
  • Clear teaching before practice begins
  • Guided support one step at a time
  • Independent questions with reasoning
  • A proper sense of how the full system works

Students are taught step by step, guided through examples, and then challenged with independent questions — much closer to a real tutoring session than a worksheet or random quiz.

What’s included in Block 1

Most students struggle with GCSE Maths because their core number skills are not secure. Block 1 fixes this.

  • Place value and number understanding — so students can read, compare, and work confidently with numbers.
  • Decimals — building fluency and linking them clearly to fractions and percentages.
  • Fractions, decimals, and percentages conversion — helping students move confidently between forms.
  • Efficient percentage methods — including using 10%, 5%, 1%, and key shortcuts like 50%, 25%, and 20%.
  • Application and problem solving — so students can use these skills in real GCSE-style questions, not just routine practice.

The goal is not just to get answers right. It is to build secure methods, deeper understanding, and the confidence to tackle more difficult work later.

Block 1 pricing

Most GCSE tutors charge £30–£40 per session. Home Tutor Academy gives structured, guided support for a fraction of the cost.
