Maths

Enrolling

Classes

is fundamental to many daily life skills, including shopping, cooking, managing finances, telling the time as well as other more infrequent activities such as decorating, gardening and crafts and so the list goes on. It requires a basic understanding of the four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, so that knowledge can be added to and more difficult areas can be understood. Children are tutored in the areas that need most support and that lead to great understanding of the connections between subjects. This approach ensures growing confidence and success. 
e.g.	2+3=5		3x5=15
        3+2=5		5x3=15
        5-2=3		15/3=5
        5-3=2		15/5=3 which in turn helps with Algebra.
Place Value is also extremely important as it leads into working with large numbers easily and understanding numbers between 0 and 1 i.e. Fractions, Decimals and Percentages. (1/4 = 0.25 = 25%) It also helps with conversions in measure (100cm= 1m= 0.1km)
 Janice will complete an assessment, usually in your own home, to enable a programme to be devised specifically for your child. All three of us (tutor, parent and child) then need to agree to commit to the study programme agreed. This includes regular attendance at each session, as well as completing and marking all work before returning to class the next week.
  Working on a 1-1 basis each child will learn a new skill with the tutor or revise an area of difficulty. Your child will also be given a detailed programme of home learning to be completed before the next class. This learning is beneficial as it helps build in study habits and allows practice to be done every day. It also allows you to see what is being learned.
