Maths support for pupils
Chellaston Tutoring describes Maths tuition in Derby for pupils from Reception to Year 11 (ages 5 to 16), covering primary and secondary work, Year 6 SATs and GCSE preparation. It lists 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 formats, with 3:1 marked for secondary pupils, and identifies a base in Chellaston. The page does not confirm an open place. Note the pupil's year and one topic, then bring a recent question and their working; for GCSE, add the exam board if known.
Adult Functional Skills routes
Derby Adult Learning Service lists Functional Skills Maths from Entry Level to Level 2 at centres around the city and says an informal tutor assessment helps find a suitable class. Its 2026/27 page shows some courses already under way and later November starts, so check whether a place or a future intake is available. Derby College Group lists adult Functional Skills Maths at Joseph Wright Centre and The Roundhouse; its wider list also includes Ilkeston, outside Derby. These are college courses, not one-to-one tuition.
Make the first lesson specific
For a child, use a recent school question to spot whether the difficulty is reading the wording, choosing a method or checking the calculation. For an adult Functional Skills course, note any previous level and ask about the informal assessment and current intake. Choose the route around the learner's age and goal.
