Tuition benefits.
To help your child to be more secure in their understanding of the Maths they are learning at school.
Ensure that your child passes the SATs Maths exam in year 6.
Whatever senior school you are applying for, extra tuition will set your child up for the best start they could possibly have.
Most senior schools teach by ability. By being put into an upper ability class from year 7, children have a more positive outlook and this can stand them in good stead for the whole of their future.
Too many children are made to feel like failures, in particular with their mathematical ability, from such a young age, which is extremely damaging to their self-esteem.
To help them to see Maths can be fun and to break barriers down against a negative attitude towards Maths.
Where does confidence come from ?
A lack of confidence can make children unwilling to take risks, try new things or worry about getting answers wrong. They may see every error as confirmation that they ‘can’t do maths’, therefore slowing their progress, reinforcing their perceived lack of success and undermining their confidence still further – in short, a vicious circle.
Solving the problem
If we can find ways of building their confidence, we can turn the vicious circle into a more supportive ‘virtuous’ circle.
This can lead to improved motivation, enjoyment and ultimately greater progress for these pupils.
