We need maths classes from year 7 onwards. It needs to be actual teaching or virtual teaching, not just tests and quizzes.

It needs to follow the curriculum and not be extremely costly.

Can anyone recommend?

The same for English and Science too?

Which country are you in?

Each country has different curriculums.

Also, in England it is up to the schools what order they teach things in. At gcse there are different exam boards but although they mostly cover the same content there are some differences.

@Octavia64 England. I don’t mind which order as long as it teaches the English curriculum. Thanks.

Numerise might be a possiblity. It covers the curriculum, although I think it falls a bit short on the types of questions that integrate several different topics, like they often have on exams.

My son is HE and is now studying further maths for A level, he passed his IGCSEs we didn't use an online school or tutors, he highly recomends T L Maths on youtube, this guy is an actual Maths teacher and does the tutorials from classroom in a school. Has a lot of followers. My son only used these tutorials and revision books.

A lot of tutors now offer group online classes. Prices from about 15 pounds an hour.

It is probably also worth you getting in touch with your local home Ed group as they may know of people local to you who do it at a lower cost - so the group local to me is www.cambridgehomeeducators.org.uk/whats-on.html

Mymaths in theory offers interactive lessons and is probably the best of the websites, but there is no human interaction. It's ok if your kid is quite high attaining. Subscription is - oh sorry just checked the website they are schools only.

Seneca,Oak Academy, Cognito are all free. £2 hub tuition has many affordable classes.

Khan Academy and Crash Course are American but DS watches them daily.

Best thing would be to get the text book appropriate for the year and use that as reference for what is being taught.

maths: mathswhizz is great for assessing level / diagnosing and filling gaps and goes up to year 8 but doesn't go higher. conquermaths also solid and goes right from primary up to A level.
I would suggest getting free trial / monthly subscription rather than annual to see if they work for you.

KS3 science: bbc bitesize; century tech; Graham Bray
GCSE sciences: https://homeedstem.com/ ; my-gcsescience.com

English: Mr Bruff (youtube); bbc bitesize; Catherine Mooney (correspondence courses).

if you need live classes with a teacher:
netschool covers all subjects.
absolute maths and and South west science school often used/recommended by other home edders.

I am looking for similar. So far we have found a good maths teacher on Outschool. Class is small and twice a week live lesson, decent homework too.
Please post any findings for science as I have not yet found good enough Science live class.
We are also on tuition hub but classes are very big (45 students in one live class at one point!). DD managed to speak and do a fair bit of writing so it was overall a success, but she does prefer classes of less than 10 students.
