Figures provided by Statista show that in 2010 the number of schools was 32,750 while in 2023 it had dropped to 32,172. At the same time, the population of the UK has increased from 62.77 million in 2010 to 69.13 million today and is expected to reach more than 73 million by 2036 according to the Office for National Statistics.

What this means for a child’s education is that classroom sizes are increasing, and this will result in less time for teachers to spend helping children individually when they are having difficulty with learning something. Yet we all want our children to pass their GCSEs so that they can either go on to university or to obtain a good job.

This is why more and more people are coming to us at Smart Kids Private Tutoring in order to provide their children with the extra help that they need as they head towards their 16^th birthdays. Our GCSE tutors in Oldham will supply the support that every individual child needs.

All children are different, and so their needs are different too. Some excel at maths while many hate it. One child, who was home educated, passed his maths GCSE aged 5! Arran Fernandez then went on to start his maths degree at Cambridge age 15 in May 2012 – the youngest student since William Pitt the Younger, aged 14, in 1773!

Exceptional

However, it is fair to say that Arran was exceptional. Most children struggle with maths, as well as English and the sciences. Heck, many adults struggle with maths! But we have to face facts, and that is that as every year passes, those GCSE exams loom ever nearer. 

This is where our GCSE tutors in Oldham can help your child by giving him or her that extra boost that is needed and will make all the difference between a Grade 9 and complete failure.

This is not schooling in the traditional sense where the teacher instructs a classroom of up to 30 or more. Our tutors will assess your child’s skills and their requirements. They will then prepare a customised programme that will exactly cover your child’s needs based on his or her present situation.

This means that your child gets individual attention, together with repetition of coverage of problems, until the light switches on and they finally grasp the subject. Our aim is to continue the 100% success rate that we have achieved with over 9,000 pupils to date for SATs and GCSEs.
