Where we can help
Start with what is getting in the way.
Bring a question, a recent test or the topic you are working on. We can help with homework, missed foundations, revision or a change of curriculum.
Revisit the basics
If functions are difficult, we can check the algebra behind them and work through any missing steps.
Show your working
Practise writing a clear method so the examiner can follow how you reached your answer.
Make sense of the question
Work out what a word problem is asking before choosing a method.
Practise for the paper
Work through timed questions, check answers and learn where you need more practice.
