Foundational maths includes the four operations, fractions, decimals, and basic geometry.

• The four operations let you combine, separate, scale, and share quantities.
• Decimals and fractions describe quantities smaller than one or between integers.
• A percentage shows a value as a portion out of one hundred.
• Shape recognition and measurement are the first steps in geometry.

These topics build on each other, so mastering one makes the next easier to learn.

A private tutor can identify gaps and strengthen weak areas with targeted practice.

Maths tutors in Dumfries typically charge about £20/h per hour.

This price can differ depending on several factors:

• The learner's stage (KS2, KS3, GCSE, or beyond)
• The teacher's background and expertise (QTS status, maths degree, proven track record)
• The length and frequency of sessions (one hour, ninety minutes, or longer)
• The format (online, at the tutor's home, or at yours)

Many tutors offer discounts for regular bookings or block purchases.

Remote sessions tend to be cheaper and more flexible than in-person ones.

Arithmetic rests on four operations: adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.

• Adding means putting numbers together to see how much you have altogether.
• Subtracting tells you what remains after you remove a quantity.
• Multiplying shows how much you get when you have several equal groups.
• Dividing answers "how many in each group?" or "how many groups can I make?".

These four operations underpin algebra, geometry, and every advanced maths topic.

A tutor can help you practise each operation until it becomes second nature.
