YEAR 3 TO 5 MATHS TUTORING PROGRAMMES
Build solid maths foundations early on
The key to maths success is giving pupils the tools they need to succeed as early in primary school as possible.
But maths interventions are often left until Year 6.
Address gaps and misconceptions and save time catching up in Year 6 with personalised one to one tutoring from specialist KS2 maths tutors.
The opportunity to sit and talk to someone is so valuable. Particularly for kids who are shy in class because they’re scared of getting it wrong. We’ve used it in Year 5 and their confidence has improved massively. It’s great this is happening now as by Year 6 it’s almost too late.
