Private maths tuition tailored to your child

The tuition we provide is personalised specifically to your child’s needs.  This means we can focus on any areas that need work or take a broader approach and cover the full range of topics. For many children, our tuition simply gives them the range of tools they need to approach maths with more confidence in the classroom. Whatever your child’s needs, when it comes to maths tuition, the Discover & Be team is able to work with them and you, as a parent, to provide the very best support and education for them.

We offer Year 6 SATs tuition that can be tailored to meet the needs of your child in order to build-up their ability and extend their knowledge and confidence in maths and exam technique.

Maths tuition for 5 to 7 year olds

We carefully consolidate mathematical skills learned in the Early Years to then build on these as the child grows up.

Our maths teachers make sure our pupils have a solid grasp of counting, number recognition, operations such as adding, taking away, and more complex mathematical language used in basic problem solving (greater than, less than, measuring etc).

We then teach and reinforce basic mathematical concepts through play, games and interactive activities, including everyday objects and specialist maths resources such as Numicon.  Our maths tutors have spent a many years collecting and creating a large range of colourful and stimulating resources specifically for our young learners. These include Numicon, bean bag games, giant purses and coins, games, dice, songs, raps, action songs, online games, and much more. 

Tutoring children one-to-one at a young age allows the maths tutor to explore how the individual child learns best in a way that is both fun and engaging.  We can adapt our teaching approaches to suit the pupil's needs and interests. This is a good time in the child's learning journey to identify any particular mathematical concepts that they find challenging.  We can help to iron out any difficulties and, at the same time, identify areas of strength and extend learning.

Maths tuition for 7 to 11 year olds

One-to-one lessons for the Key Stage 2 age group are designed to be stimulating, challenging and enjoyable for the learner. We like to shake the lessons up a little from time to time by teaching in different environments; we have been known to take our pupils on a little road trip (with parental consent of course. See image below)!  Our tutors use a range of games, activities and resources both indoors and outdoors to engage young developing minds.  Resources include Maths Rocks (singing timetables), raps, safe online games, home-made games, published resources for SATs prep, Numicon, bean bags and balls, worksheets (where appropriate), multilink, 3D fraction walls, money, video clips and much more.

Our tutors love to find out what inspires and interests the pupil and we plan our lessons from there! We build on the pupil’s existing knowledge and understanding of mathematical concepts learnt in Key Stage 1.  Our experienced tutors will identify any areas of learning that need support and can challenge those children who need stretching.

“Sheila was my tutor leading up to my entrance exams and SATs. I really like Sheila, she explained things slowly and helped me when I didn’t understand things. We always had fun in the lesson too. She helped me to understand fractions which I was really stuck on. I would recommend having Sheila as your tutor because she will help you understand and also have fun too!” - Alicia, Year 6
