YEAR 6 MATHS TUTORING PROGRAMMES
In Year 6, pupils need opportunities to address misconceptions, secure KS2 content and practise SATs-style questions.
But with large classes and varying gaps, it’s not always easy to give every pupil the targeted support they need.
Give your target pupils more opportunities to address gaps, catch up and move on to SATs revision with personalised one to one tutoring from specialist KS2 maths tutors.
100% of our Third Space Learners met EXS in their 2024 maths SATs. The sessions gave the children increased confidence and a wide knowledge of SATs-style questions. The pupils enjoyed the one to one nature and engagement with a tutor. It helped pupils achieve higher maths scores and has had a positive impact on engagement and confidence. I’d definitely recommend Third Space Learning to other primary schools.
