MATH TUTORIALS
Maths is taught to all children from Reception in Primary right up to A’Level when the pupil reaches eighteen years of age.
Maths is taught using traditional methods emphasising showing working out for every question without calculators where ever possible.
Primary Maths
It is paramount for primary school children to fully understand the basics in Maths before starting Secondary school which involves a thorough appreciation of number, place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication and long/short division. Once your child has a good grasp of numeracy skills, it is possible to help them to answer worded problems. Numeracy is taught through a variety of materials, including: classroom activities, worksheets and textbooks. For younger children, The After-School Learning Centre follows the Numeracy Strategy of the National Curriculum from Years 1 to 6.
Secondary Maths
From Years 7 to 9, teaching is based on materials which will lead to success in GCSE Maths during Years 10 and 11. Built into your child’s Maths learning is exam paper practice so they learn how to answer questions accurately and on time. Exam technique and practice is the cornerstone of our Maths teaching approach.
Following an initial assessment, a dedicated programme of work will be tailored to suit your child’s learning style.
Each child will work at their own level, being given personal targets at which to aim.
SCIENCE TUTORIALS

Tuition in Science is offered in Biology, Chemistry and Physics at all levels .
An initial assessment enables us to find out the level of knowledge of your child. From then on we tailor the content of every tuition lesson to help your child to build up and expand their Science know-how.
Your child will:
- Gain an understanding of what examiners are looking for when awarding Grade A/A*
- Learn how to use Scientific words perfectly when writing answers to exam questions
