LoveMaths Tutoring UK was founded in 2020 by Liam Harris.
What happens before the first tutoring session?
Every student at LoveMaths Tutoring UK has a prior assessment before their first session. The tutor then plans lessons around what that assessment shows, so time is spent on the topics the student actually needs rather than on a fixed course that starts at the beginning for everyone.
Parents who want an early picture of where their child is can also use the free online assessment on the LoveMaths Tutoring UK website.
Will my child have the same tutor every week?
Yes. Each student at LoveMaths Tutoring UK works with a single tutor for their subject. Working with one tutor means the student is taught by the same person from one lesson to the next, rather than meeting someone new each week.
A student studying more than one subject with LoveMaths Tutoring UK works with a single tutor for each of those subjects.
What does my child need for an online tutoring session at home?
An online session over Zoom needs very little equipment, but a good setup makes the hour run smoothly. LoveMaths Tutoring UK suggests checking these before the first lesson:
- A device that runs Zoom: a laptop or desktop computer is usually easier to work on than a phone, because the screen is bigger
- A working camera and microphone: headphones with a built-in microphone help in a busy household
- A steady internet connection: sitting closer to the router can help if the connection drops
- A quiet space with a table: somewhere the student can write comfortably and will not be interrupted
- Pen, paper and the usual equipment: for maths this usually means a pencil, ruler and calculator
Testing Zoom on the device a day before the first session avoids losing lesson time to updates or sound settings.
