We find the students, run the assessments, write the four-week plans and send the parent reports. You turn up and teach.

If you tutor independently you already know the real job isn't the teaching — it's the finding, the planning, the resource-hunting and the chasing of invoices. We do all of that.
No adverts, no platform profile, no undercutting yourself to win a booking. We bring you students matched to your postcode so you're not driving across the city.
Every student sits a monthly diagnostic built on the new WJEC specification. We run it and mark it. You get the skill map.
You receive a plan built from that student's measured gaps — what to work on and in what order. How you teach it is entirely yours.
Every block opens with a written report to the parent, and we write and send it. No more "so how's she getting on?" messages on a Sunday night.
You invoice us monthly and we pay you — we deal with parents, late payers and cancellations. Nothing is deducted from your fee.
Once we introduce you, you and the family agree times that suit you both. We give you a date by which the block's sessions need to be finished — how you fit them around your week is yours to decide. We don't set your hours.
If a parent cancels with under 24 hours' notice, you're paid for that session. Your time isn't free just because someone changed their plans.
On rates: we'll tell you exactly what we pay on our first call — no vagueness, no "competitive rates". Nothing is deducted from your fee, and we top it up for sessions outside your core area.
Why now
Wales has replaced the two separate maths GCSEs with the new WJEC Mathematics and Numeracy (Double Award) — first taught from September 2025, first awarded November 2026. Three units instead of two, two tiers instead of three, and learners can now be entered at different tiers for different units.
Every assessment and plan we hand you is built on that specification. We've already done the work.
What we ask
You'll be trained on our diagnostics, our reporting and our safeguarding standards — not on how to run a lesson. You're an experienced teacher and we'd be daft to tell you your job.
In a room with the door open, with an adult present in the house. We'll always know where you are and when, and you can leave any situation you're uncomfortable in — no explanation needed, no questions afterwards.
How it works
Tell us a bit about your background. Two minutes, not an application portal.
A proper chat about how you teach, what you're looking for, and what we pay.
Thirty minutes. You'll see our assessment as a student does, then work through three real wrong answers — what went wrong, and how you'd explain it.
DBS, references, ID, and a short induction on the system and safeguarding.
Matched by postcode, with their skill map and four-week plan already written. You arrange session times directly with the family.
We ask everyone to sit it — partly so you know exactly what your students will experience, partly because your answers help us calibrate our own questions. It isn't a maths exam; if you're here, you can do GCSE maths. What we're interested in is how you read a wrong answer and how you'd explain the way out of it.
Get in touch
We're taking on two or three tutors to launch with. If maths is your subject and the admin is the part you hate, we should talk.
A few quick questions — most of them one click. We'll come back to you within 48 hours.
Or just email hello@datumlearning.co.uk if you'd rather.
