The former Countdown star said she designed the lessons, which feature video instruction, music, games and rewards, to help youngsters “be the very best they can” with numbers.
Parents will be able to visit The Maths Factor website from Monday and sign up for classes on Wednesday.
It comes after a survey revealed almost one-in-five children of primary school age received extra help from a private tutor to improve their maths skills.
The YouGov poll also showed 96 per cent of parents believed it was essential for their children to have a good grasp of arithmetic to get a job in the future.
