The perfect maths tutoring solution for your child

Our fully integrated system has everything your child needs to succeed in one place. Super flexible subscriptions ensure they get the right level of support to suit their needs across their academic life.

We know that every child is unique at PLYTIME Learning

Help develop a growth mindset

Research shows that mistakes are important for learning and growth, yet most of us tend to view them as negative. At PLYTIME Learning, we embrace mistakes as positive catalysts for growth – we even reward students for reviewing them – and that helps turn mistakes into learning opportunities.

“When students make a mistake in math, their brain grows, synapses fire and connections are made.”
Jo Boaler
Author, Mathematical Mindsets

Personalised to your child

Your child is unique, so their learning needs to be tailored to them. Our intelligent software automatically provides personalised curriculum-based content to your child and identifies strengths and weaknesses. And you can add FOCUS Tutoring support at the click of a button to help them to be their best.

FOCUS Tutoring

Make every penny count

Don’t waste money on expensive tutoring your child doesn’t need or on tutors spending time watching them answer questions. With FOCUS Tutoring, you can add support in 15-minute chunks, so you only pay for what they need. And the tutor knows exactly where to direct their attention, which is why research proved it to be so much more efficient and effective.

15-minute sessions are
25% more effective
than longer sessions

MMU Research

Rewarding their efforts

Our research showed a strong link between improvement and the amount of time spent practicing. To help keep your child motivated, they can earn tokens for practicing and reviewing, which can then be redeemed for rewards such as store vouchers or games.

EXCELLENT
Very effective – 15 minute bursts of help maintained Izzy's focus and it was not too much following a day at school. Tutor was excellent and very supportive.
Anne
Parent
5/5
The tutor was fantastic with my son and he really enjoyed their sessions. He has gone from not liking maths as a subject to thoroughly enjoying it. His teacher has commented on the same.
Steve
Parent
5/5
We particularly like the 'flag' buttons. So if my daughter was struggling on a certain area, the tutor could spot this and then tailor the sessions accordingly.
