How this compares with a private tutor
MathsGradeUp is a guided self-study platform, not a 1-to-1 tutoring agency — there is no hourly booking and no human tutor assigned to your child. Instead you get thousands of spec-mapped practice questions, real past papers with examiner-style marking, and Study Coach, our learning companion, which explains each step on demand. Many families use it alongside a private tutor so lesson time is spent teaching rather than marking.
What you get
Exam-board practice, past papers, mark-scheme feedback, revision notes and progress tracking — available any time of day, with a weekly Study Coach credit allowance.
What you don't get
Scheduled live 1-to-1 lessons with a human tutor. If that is what you need, use MathsGradeUp as the practice and marking layer around those lessons.
