How It Works
1. Tell us what your child needs
Complete the short tutor request form and to let us know the type of support required.
2. We learn more and match your child with a tutor
After you submit the Request a Tutor form, one of our Education Consultants will call you to discuss your specific requirements and learn more about your child’s needs.
3. Your child starts their lessons
The majority of our maths lessons take place online using an interactive learning space with audio, video and digital whiteboard tools. Tutors can upload resources, explain concepts visually and work through problems with your child in real time.
4. You receive feedback
After lessons, parents receive written feedback so they can see what has been covered and what the tutor recommends next.
How does Online Tuition Work?
Our virtual online classrooms use digital whiteboards with integrated audio and video capability. The entire whiteboard contents can be downloaded after each lesson for your notes. Both tutor and student can write on the whiteboard and learning material can be uploaded to the learning space.
This means a highly effective and efficient one to one maths tutoring session can take place, without the pupil having to spend any time making notes.

Why Choose Online Maths Tuition in Manchester?
While we offer a premium home tuition service for maths tuition in the Manchester area, many families choose online maths tuition because it is flexible, effective and often more cost-effective.
For maths tuition, the right teacher matters more than the nearest tutor. Limiting your search to someone who lives within a short drive of your home can make it harder to find a qualified maths teacher with the exact experience your child needs.
Online tuition removes those restrictions. It allows us to match your child with a suitable qualified maths teacher based on their level, goals, confidence and curriculum requirements, rather than simply their postcode.
Lessons are delivered one-to-one in an interactive online classroom, with clear explanations, worked examples and targeted practice tailored to your child’s level. Your child can ask questions, work through problems with their tutor and receive immediate feedback, all without the disruption of travel.
Online maths tuition is particularly helpful for busy Manchester families who want high-quality support without traffic, commuting time or limited local availability.

For families who prefer in-person support, Principal Tutors also offers a premium home tuition service in selected parts of Manchester and the surrounding areas.
Home tuition may be suitable for families who specifically want face-to-face lessons. However, availability can be more limited because we only work with qualified teacher-tutors who meet our standards. For many families, online tuition provides a wider choice of specialist maths teachers and a more flexible, cost-effective option.
Whether you choose online or home tuition, our focus remains the same: matching your child with a qualified maths teacher who can provide expert, personalised support.
