Students can work with our specially trained maths instructors at Mathnasium learning centres across the UK, currently with over 40 locations and growing. Families can find our centres across the country, including England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, from London to Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
You can use the "Find a Centre" feature through our website to find one near you. If there is not yet a centre in your area, Mathnasium@home, our online programme, is available until we provide a centre near you.
Private tutors typically focus on homework help and getting a student through this week's test, while our instructors take a longer view.
Every student starts with a diagnostic assessment, which helps us identify knowledge gaps, some of which may have formed as far back as a year ago. From there, we build a tailored learning plan that rebuilds their foundational understanding at their own pace.
We help Year 5 children improve their maths skills, tackle areas they find difficult and feel more confident with the maths they're learning at school. We also help children develop a deeper understanding of maths and skills that last well beyond the next test.
Our specially trained instructors use the Mathnasium Method™ to provide live, face-to-face instruction in a caring and fun group environment and support each child at the right level for them.
The Mathnasium Method™ is our proprietary teaching approach designed to help children build maths mastery by developing a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and enhancing students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we start by understanding what each child already knows and where they need support. We then build their maths skills and understanding step by step.
Our specially trained instructors use the Mathnasium Method™ to provide live, face-to-face instruction in a caring and fun group environment. This helps Year 5 children understand how maths works, build confidence and develop solid foundations for the years ahead.

Yes, at Mathnasium, children receive live, face-to-face instruction from our specially trained instructors in a caring and fun group environment. Each child works from a tailored learning plan based on what they already understand and the areas where they need support.
Our instructors work directly with each child and adapt their approach as understanding and confidence develop. We move at students' own pace and give them the attention they need to make meaningful progress during each session.
At Mathnasium, our instructors can cover any Year 5 maths topic within the Key Stage 2 programme of study for the National Curriculum for Mathematics in England. This includes:
Yes! Year 5 is the ideal time to start, since it gives a full year to close any knowledge gaps before the KS2 SATs in Year 6. Our instructors focus on building the fluency and confidence in arithmetic and fractions that the SATs rely on most heavily, well ahead of the exam year.
Fractions are one of the biggest jumps in Year 5, and struggles here are almost always rooted in shaky times tables or number sense rather than the fractions themselves. Our instructors trace the difficulty back to its source before building fraction skills on top of a steadier foundation.
Yes! Each session includes time for school assignments, so maths homework help is covered as standard.
Our instructors focus on making sure your child understands the underlying reasoning behind their homework, so they build the independence to handle similar questions on their own.
There is no difference between in-centre and online tuition at Mathnasium.
Online Year 5 maths sessions through Mathnasium@home are live and face-to-face, exactly as they would be in a centre. The same specially trained instructors run them and the same tailored learning plan guides them. The only difference is where your child sits.
Mathnasium works on a flat enrolment fee with regular attendance, similar in structure to a gym membership. Pricing varies depending on the programme and your local centre, so we recommend getting in touch directly for details on what's available in your area.
Most students attend Mathnasium two to three times a week, although this will depend on your child’s individual needs and goals. Following their initial assessment, the centre team will recommend the most appropriate schedule for your child.
The assessment gives us a clear picture of your child's current maths knowledge and the foundational maths connected to it.
We build the tailored learning plan directly from those findings, so instruction starts at exactly the right point, without repeating material your child already knows.
Every Mathnasium student begins their Mathnasium journey with this assessment.
