What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Progress reports and structured assessments come up repeatedly in reviews of this Morningside Road maths centre, with Tara named as heading a team credited for translating test results into a clear plan for each pupil. Individual sessions held twice a week are mentioned as the typical format, with several parents describing children moving from a low grade in a mock exam to a much stronger result within a matter of months, in one case a full grade jump ahead of a GCSE.

Confidence is described as building alongside the numbers, with reviewers noting pupils who previously struggled to concentrate on maths becoming more willing to sit and work through problems without prompting. The venue itself is described as bright and welcoming, and small incentives such as a Pi Day pizza event and prize draws are mentioned as helping younger pupils look forward to attending rather than treating sessions as a chore.

Parents describe being invited to sit down with Tara to go through assessment results in detail, rather than receiving a bare set of scores without explanation. A monthly subscription arrangement is mentioned as allowing flexible booking of extra sessions at short notice in the run-up to exams. The centre is open weekday afternoons and evenings, plus Saturday mornings, and is closed on Sundays.

Tara and her team were absolutely fantastic, from failing the prelim to getting the pass in Nat 5 maths we aimed for. Basically starting fresh with the syllabus my daughter was helped through all the course work in 5 months they helped so much in confidence walking into the exam with a positive attitude. I cannot recommend enough, even down to touching base and keeping the parents up to date, Tara was great from start to finish the Centre gave our girl all the support she needed to succeed.

Absolutely amazing service. Lots of support given from start to finish. Seen much improvement in both math skills (national 5) and general academic confidence. Thanks for all your help.

Mathnasium is a great place to give your children the confidence to tackle maths. They've been kind and patient with my daughter so her confidence has grown enormously which means her abilities have grown too. If only maths was taught this way in schools.

We are so grateful for the support Tara and her team has given our son with his GCSE maths. Before tutoring, he lacked confidence and often felt overwhelmed, but with Tara's patient and clear teaching style, we’ve seen a huge improvement both in his ability and his confidence. Tara explains concepts in a way that really makes sense and ensures every session is tailored to what our son needs. He now approaches maths with a positive attitude and is much more prepared for his exams. We can’t recommend Tara at Mathnasium highly enough!"

Tara and her team have delivered excellent results in just a few months. My son has gone from a prelim D grade to an A grade in his recent exam results. This could not have been achieved without the outstanding tuition provided by Tara and the team. The twice weekly one to one sessions allowed my son to focus and consolidate his learning on the topics he found challenging. The assessment and progress reports provided an accurate insight to the work that needed to be done. My son was happy and motivated to attend sessions. This was due to the friendly and welcoming environment which was consistent throughout. I would have no hesitation recommending Tara and her team!

Many thanks to Tara and her team for helping our daughter with maths. It’s a really friendly and welcoming space and my daughter enjoys going there to learn and have fun. We have seen her confidence and maths skills grow which is wonderful, thank you.
