BubbMaths: online maths tutoring with University of Nottingham and Bath students

BubbMaths is a tutoring platform that connects students with high-achieving university students studying maths-based degrees. All sessions are delivered online, allowing it to serve students across the UK without depending on geographic proximity. The company presents itself as an alternative to traditional agencies, with tutors who have recently sat the same exams they teach.

Levels and subjects covered

The academic offering is organised around three main levels:

• 11 Plus
• GCSE
• A-Level

The main subject is Maths, although Physics and other STEM subjects are also available on request. Published prices are for GCSE; for A-Level, 11 Plus or other combinations, the company states that you need to get in touch to ask about rates.

Tutor profile

The team is made up of students from the University of Nottingham and the University of Bath, all with outstanding grades on maths-based degrees. The stated minimum requirement is having achieved A or A* in A-Level Maths. According to the company, this means they know the mark schemes in detail, the most common mistakes and the strategies to avoid them, having recently taken the same exams.

How to book sessions

The way it works is described in three steps:

• Browse & Choose: tutor profiles include grades, experience and pricing, with full bios before you commit to anything.
• Free taster session: 30 minutes at no cost and with no obligation to meet the tutor, discuss goals and see whether it's the right fit.
• Regular sessions: weekly online lessons tailored to the student's syllabus, pace and weak spots, with feedback after every lesson.

The company stresses that it does not require long-term commitments and does not operate with the usual agency bureaucracy.

Tutoring model and terms

BubbMaths operates exclusively online, which according to its approach gives access to the best tutors regardless of where you live in the UK, with flexible scheduling around the school calendar. The company says it pays its tutors more than traditional agencies, arguing that better pay leads to better-prepared and more effective sessions. In addition, many tutors cover Physics and other STEM subjects, so the same tutor can teach several subjects.

Presence and ratings

The company states that its tutors come from Nottingham and Bath, cities that appear as the team's places of origin. At the time of the analysis, the site showed a rating of 5.0 out of 5 on Trustpilot.
