Maths is the subject where gaps snowball fastest: miss one topic and everything built on top of it starts to wobble. One-to-one maths tutoring helps school children across the Czech Republic — online or in our classrooms in eight cities — find exactly where things broke down and calmly fix it.
When to consider a maths tutor
A few signals most parents will recognise:
- maths homework swallows entire evenings and ends in frustration;
- your child has started saying "I'm just bad at maths" — though a year ago numbers were fun;
- grades slipped after one particular topic (fractions, percentages, equations);
- a change of teacher or school, and something "stopped clicking".
None of these means anything is wrong with your child. Far more often, one step somewhere behind was never properly mastered — and new floors keep being built on top of it.
How the lessons work
In the first lesson the tutor finds out not just what your child can't do, but where the misunderstanding begins. A percentage problem is often really a fractions problem; an equations problem often starts with negative numbers. The individual plan is built from that point.
Then come regular lessons at your child's pace. The tutor doesn't move on until a topic truly sits, and doesn't linger once it does. After every lesson you receive short notes — what was covered, what already works, what to practise next. And if a lesson doesn't work for your child, you don't pay for it.
The language factor: maths taught in Czech
For children from foreign families, school maths in Czechia is often a language hurdle as much as a mathematical one — zlomek (fraction), rovnice (equation), slovní úloha (word problem). Our tutors introduce the Czech terminology right while solving problems, and explanations can be bilingual at the start. For the language side itself, see Czech lessons for kids.
Beyond patching holes
The goal isn't just passing the next test. The tutor follows an individual checklist and, along the way, teaches your child how to learn — understanding instead of memorising. That skill stays long after the tutoring ends.
And if the Czech entrance exams are on the horizon, the preparation naturally extends to the CERMAT format — details in our guide to Czech entrance exams for foreign parents.

Frequently asked questions
Which ages do you teach?
From primary school through to the maturita exam — plus university students and adults.
How many lessons per week make sense?
Usually one or two. The tutor will suggest the right rhythm after the first lessons, depending on the goal and the size of the gaps.
What if the tutor isn't a good fit?
We'll match a different one. And if a lesson doesn't work, you don't pay for it.
Do you help with regular homework?
Yes — lessons can be built around current schoolwork so your child keeps up in class.
