The best Maths teachers on YouTube
If you’re stuck on quadratic equations at 9pm the night before a test, YouTube is usually the first place anyone looks.
The good news is that Maths has one of the strongest communities on the platform, with qualified teachers posting genuinely excellent, curriculum-matched lessons all available free of charge.
To help you find those channels which explain things well, rather than simply which ones have a big profile. So we've pulled together nine of the best Maths creators on YouTube right now, covering everything from Key Stage 3 (KS3) through to A-level.
MyEdSpace’s expert Maths teachers and former examiners
First, our own teachers run brilliant YouTube channels alongside their live lessons, and they're a great place to start.
NeilDoesMaths (Neil Trivedi)
Neil Trivedi is a fully qualified Maths teacher who holds a first-class honours degree in Maths from UCL and has over eight years of teaching experience - he's taught everything from KS3 through to A-level.
What sets Neil apart is the community he's built around his content: his students have their own name, the "Lun Gang", a nod to the natural logarithm (ln) that's become a running joke and a badge of honour among his followers. He's known for marathon live revision streams in the run-up to exams, sometimes lasting more than seven hours, covering entire topics like statistics and mechanics in one sitting.
If you want a teacher who makes GCSE or A-level Maths feel like something to look forward to rather than dread, Neil is a great watch.
NickDoesMaths (Nicholas Featherstone)
Nick Featherstone holds a Master's in Mathematics from Oxford and has clocked up more than 14 years in the classroom, making him one of the most experienced teachers on this list.
Fun fact for any Year 7s watching: Nick's free lesson videos are often students' very first introduction to MyEdSpace's teaching style, well before they ever reach GCSE content. He's particularly good at showing his working in full, which makes his videos ideal for students who want to understand a method rather than just copy it.
For anyone after a patient, thorough teacher, Nick's channel is well worth a subscribe.
GuyDoesMaths (Guy Maycock)
Guy Maycock brings a slightly different background to the table: a first-class degree in Economics from Bath, plus more than 10 years' experience as an A-level Maths examiner.
That examiner experience shows in his videos, which are laser-focused on exactly what markers are looking for in a written answer. His explanations lean heavily on real exam questions, so students get used to the phrasing and structure they'll actually face on the day.
Guy has a knack for spotting the small technique that turns a good answer into a great one, which is exactly the kind of detail that's easy to miss when revising alone.
If exam technique is what you need most, Guy's channel is a smart place to start.
Joe_DoesMaths (Joe Sim)
Joe Sim studied Mathematics at Warwick where he graduated with a First, and he's spent more than six years teaching GCSE and A-level students since.
Joe is also one of the teachers behind MyEdSpace's 11+ preparation course, so younger viewers may recognise him from there too. He has a reputation for patience, happily re-explaining a step three different ways until it clicks.
For students who need a teacher who won't rush them, Joe is one to watch.
Independent Maths YouTubers worth knowing
Beyond MyEdSpace's own teachers, there's a strong community of independent creators who've built loyal followings purely through the quality of their teaching.
TheGCSEMathsTutor
The GCSE Maths Tutor (often shortened to TGMT by its fans) has quietly become one of the most-watched GCSE Maths channels around, racking up more than 20 million views in under three years.
Its team of teachers focus specifically on GCSE, with full past-paper walkthroughs across every exam board, plus free downloadable revision checklists and topic-specific practice papers.
The channel's tagline, "education meets entertainment," sums up its approach well: content that's thorough without feeling like a lecture. Students frequently credit last-minute binge-watching sessions with turning around a shaky set of mocks, which says a lot about how clearly the explanations land.
TLMaths
TLMaths bills itself as "the A-level Maths textbook" on YouTube, and that's a fair description.
The channel covers the entire A-level Maths specification for all four England exam boards, AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and OCR MEI, which makes it a rare find: most creators pick one board and stick to it.
Videos are organised into clear playlists by topic, so students can go straight to the exact area they're stuck on rather than hunting through a long back catalogue. It's a particularly good fit for independent learners who like to self-teach a topic ahead of a lesson, then use class time to iron out the details.
BicenMaths
Seb Bicen started what became BicenMaths almost by accident, after a student asked to record one of his lessons to revise from later.
Years on, the channel has grown into a full library of Edexcel A-level Maths and Further Maths lessons, recorded live from real classes rather than scripted in a studio. That live-lesson feel is part of the appeal: students get the genuine back-and-forth of a real classroom, including the odd tangent or aside.
Bicen also shares "memory pages," compact summary sheets covering the facts students need to know for topics like trigonometry and calculus. He's put his teaching where his mouth is too: in 2024, he sat the A-level Maths exam himself alongside his students and made a video breaking down the single mark he dropped, a level of accountability few teachers would volunteer for on camera.
Zeeshan Zamurred
Zeeshan Zamurred's channel focuses on A-level Maths and Further Maths, covering pure Maths, statistics and mechanics with the same step-by-step clarity throughout.
He's built a strong reputation among students on forums like The Student Room, where he's been described by more than one A-level student as one of the best Maths YouTubers around.
His videos tend to favour worked examples over long theory sections, which suits students who learn best by seeing a method applied before they try it themselves. There's something genuinely satisfying about watching him work through a problem on the whiteboard: his technique is so consistent and methodical that the next step almost always feels obvious before he's said it, which is exactly what a fluent explanation should do.
MrAstburyMaths
Mr Astbury is a two-time national award-winning teacher with 15 years of classroom experience, covering both IGCSE and A-level Maths on his channel.
His videos are thorough and exam-focused, but what keeps students coming back is his personality, he's known for weaving in football banter and the odd tic-tac-toe puzzle alongside serious exam content. That mix of expertise and humour makes revision feel a little less like a chore, without ever losing sight of getting students exam-ready.
He's especially popular with IGCSE students, a group that's sometimes underserved by UK-focused Maths content.
Getting the most out of Maths YouTube
These channels are high-quality free resources, and can be exactly what’s needed to unstick a tough topic.
Where free video content naturally has limits is in the back-and-forth of a real lesson: asking a follow-up question, getting immediate feedback on a mistake, or having a teacher notice a misunderstanding before it becomes a habit. That's where live, interactive teaching comes in, and it's the gap MyEdSpace's Maths courses are built to fill, with the UK's top Maths teachers running live lessons, workbooks and homework support from Year 5 through to A-level.
If your child already loves one of the channels above, there's a good chance they'll enjoy learning from that same teacher live, several of MyEdSpace's own teachers are on this very list.
