The importance of being mathematically competent in today’s competitive world can not be

exaggerated.  A young person leaving school without a minimum of GCSE Grade C in Maths is

at a serious disadvantage in the job market and in Further Education.

Very often a child starts to fall behind at Primary School and this has a knock-on effect when

they reach Secondary School.  One does not have to look far to understand the consequences

of poor Maths Teaching in schools:

“Almost 200,000 children are still being failed in poorly-performing secondary schools, according to league tables published today.”

“A fifth of teenagers leave school so illiterate and innumerate they are incapable of dealing with the challenges of everyday life, a study has found.”

“Education experts said it was hard for children struggling at age 11 ever to catch up”:

Don’t allow your child to struggle with Mathematics when there is help available! 

Private tuition can help them to understand Mathematics and equip them for

their lives both during school and afterwards.
