Hello Parents!

I know my son / daughter is better than this
He / She should be in a higher set
He / She has lost confidence in his / her ability
I need my son / daughter to be happy and do whatever is comfortable for them (maybe do the bare minimum – foundation and pass with a level 4)
Making careless mistakes hence not achieving
Have no interest / lost interest in maths / education
He / She does not learn much / anything in school

The current education system in the UK only caters for about 50% of the student population (the middle 50% of the normal distribution curve)
The top end students with certain difficulties may not be recognized or fall behind.
The bottom end students may not be given enough guidance or support to recognize and deal with their weaknesses
Differently abled students (ASD, ADHD, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia etc.) are not fully supported or not supported at all
The education system is mainly based on memory-based learning rather than logical understanding
In schools, majority of the teaching is not done to create an interest or enjoyment
In schools there’s hardly any system to cater for individual needs (personalized) except for a very few special need children (it is impossible for a teacher teaching a class of 30 students to do this)

To recognize the potential of a child. In a school it is difficult for a teacher to recognize this but our experienced tutors will be able to recognize other special abilities in children
Each child is different and we teach student specific study methods, exam techniques, stress management, time table organization and more
Recognize the different in the pace of leaning
Recognize how much material is absorbed during a lesson in school
Coach children on how to obtain maximum understanding from school teaching
We teach students why we do things the way we do, not just how we do them Specifically, targeting logic and meaning highlighting why we use different methods for questions presented differently

Every single student needs a different dose of teaching / notes / explanation
Sometimes too much of explaining will whip out the knowledge gained or confuse the student
Always confirm if they have understood
Always praise good work
Keep reassuring that she/he is capable, highlighting her/his special abilities
Keep reassuring that his/her weaknesses can be resolved or managed in order to achieve the desired result
