The Vast Majority Of Us Struggle With Maths At School
All of us are different. We may be humans with two arms and two legs, but that aside, we vary enormously. As children, we learn as we grow, and a lot of what we learn comes from our parents and from the teachers at our schools.
However, when it comes to schoolwork there is one subject that probably the majority of us have difficulty with and that’s maths. All right, there are always one or two whizz kids who fly through it with ease, but probably 95% of us struggle.
As just one example, take algebra. Here is a definition from Wikipedia: “Algebra is the branch of mathematics that studies algebraic structures and the manipulation of statements within those structures. It is a generalisation of arithmetic that introduces variables and algebraic operations other than the standard arithmetic operations such as addition and multiplication.”
Many people could be forgiven for asking for that to be translated into English!
So, yes, maths is a very difficult subject for most children. This is why many parents around the Northeast of Manchester bring their children to us at Smart Kids for additional 11+ maths tuition in Oldham. It requires extra learning and practice in order to grasp the fundamentals of maths and then go on to fully understand it to the point where a child can pass GCSEs with confidence.
You Want Your Child To Pass GCSEs
That is what you want your child to be able to do. Pass GCSEs so that they can go on to the finer things in life, developing more skills, maybe going to university, and obtaining a job with a great salary.
Our team of expert tutors will work with your child, starting with questions which are easy and going on to those which are more challenging. If your child has a problem with a particular topic, the tutor will revisit it and help your child to go over it again and again until he / she finally grasps it and fully understands it.
The tutor will also mark your child’s answers with the aim of ensuring that a minimum pass mark of at least 85% is achieved. In addition, our 11+ maths tuition in Oldham will put your child through GCSE mock exam papers each week so that it can be seen where a child is having any difficulty, and then work on those particular problems.
So, what does this extra maths tuition cost? According to whizz.com, the national average cost of maths tutoring in the UK is £28 per hour but it can often be well over £30.
Here’s the good news: our tutoring costs start at as little as £15.00 per hour! Make an appointment for a free consultation with one of our experts.
