Build confident number sense and problem-solving skills from the ground up. Expert primary maths tutors for Years 1–6.
Mathematics is the subject parents most commonly seek tutoring for at primary level — and for good reason. The foundations built in Years 1–6 directly determine how confidently your child handles maths in secondary school and beyond. At GetYourTutors, our full-time maths tutors in Dubai understand that primary maths is about much more than getting correct answers. We develop genuine number sense, build fluency with operations, and teach problem-solving strategies that empower children to think mathematically. Whether your child follows the British National Curriculum, American standards, IB PYP Mathematics, or another programme, we align every session to their school's expectations.
Many children arrive at tutoring feeling that they are "bad at maths." In almost every case, the real issue is specific gaps in foundational understanding — perhaps place value, or the connection between multiplication and division — that have compounded over time. Our tutors identify these gaps quickly, address them with concrete materials and visual models, and rebuild confidence through carefully sequenced success. We also support children who are already strong in maths but need enrichment and challenge to stay engaged.

Our primary maths tutors cover the full range: number and place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, fractions, decimals, and percentages, measurement (length, mass, capacity, time), geometry (shapes, angles, symmetry, position), statistics (data handling, charts, averages), and problem solving. We follow your child's curriculum scope and sequence.
Times tables are a cornerstone of primary maths, and many children find them challenging. Our tutors use a combination of pattern recognition, visual strategies, games, and structured practice to build recall speed. We don't just drill — we help children understand the relationships between facts so they can derive answers they forget.
Maths anxiety is common and often stems from negative experiences or pressure. Our tutors create a safe, encouraging environment where mistakes are learning opportunities. We start at your child's comfort level, build confidence through success, and gradually increase challenge. Many anxious students transform into confident mathematicians with patient, supportive instruction.
Yes. Whether your child's school follows the British National Curriculum, American Common Core, IB PYP, or another framework, our tutors adapt to match. We coordinate with classroom topics so tutoring reinforces and extends what your child learns at school, rather than confusing them with different methods.
Consider tutoring if your child is falling behind class expectations, shows frustration or anxiety around maths, has gaps in foundational skills (like place value or basic operations), or would benefit from extension and enrichment. Early intervention is particularly effective — maths gaps compound quickly if left unaddressed.
Fractions are one of the biggest stumbling blocks in primary maths. Our tutors use visual models — fraction bars, number lines, pie charts, and hands-on manipulatives — to build conceptual understanding before moving to abstract notation. We teach equivalent fractions, ordering, and simple operations through concrete examples so your child truly understands what fractions represent rather than memorising procedures.
Yes. Gifted primary maths students often disengage when classroom work is too easy. Our tutors provide enrichment that deepens understanding rather than simply racing ahead — introducing problem-solving challenges, mathematical puzzles, logic games, and exploratory investigations that stretch thinking. This keeps your child engaged and intellectually stimulated while building skills that serve them well in secondary school.
Most parents notice increased confidence and willingness to attempt maths within 3–4 weeks. Measurable improvement in school assessments typically appears within 6–8 weeks of regular sessions. The pace depends on how significant the gaps are and how consistently your child attends sessions. Our tutors set clear, realistic goals and track progress so you can see the improvement as it happens.
Yes — our tutors adapt to your child's school methods so there is no confusion between what they learn at school and what they practise at home. Whether the school uses Singapore Maths, bar models, column methods, or another approach, our tutors reinforce the same techniques while also building deeper understanding of the underlying concepts.
