My dd is struggling. School have recommended a tutor but we simply cannot afford it. I was looking online at these subscriptions where they can learn online for £9.99 or £15.99 a month.
Has anyone used these and can recommend them or have any other suggestions. I really struggle to understand the work and am not able to teach her although I help her with revision etc as much as I can.

Khan Academy is the best free online maths tutorial from what I've heard. One of my DC's school recommended Conquer Maths which is £12.99 a month. Never used it though.

Do the school not have any subscriptions to online Maths services? I can't remember all of the names but DS' school certainly did - My Maths is one and there are others. If you do need to subscribe, definitely get some recommendations rom others before handing over money. BBC Bitesize also has some good revision resources and if you search Khan Academy on YouTube they have lots of videos which DS1 rated (although for science subjects). Do school run revision sessions and is your daughter taking advantage of all of those?
