The transition to secondary school feels difficult
New routines and expectations can make familiar work feel different. We start with what the student understands and where they need reassurance.

Earlier gaps are getting in the way
Fractions, number fluency and proportion appear across topics. We revisit missing ideas and practise using them in different situations.
Homework needs a lot of prompting
The aim is to help the student begin, explain a method and check an answer with growing independence.
What we work on
Support with a clear purpose.
Schools organise KS3 topics differently. A recent exercise book, topic list or teacher comment is more useful than assuming a fixed national teaching order. We discuss what is being taught now and what would help next.
Number confidence
Positive and negative numbers, fractions, decimals and percentages, with explanations that connect the methods.
Early algebra
Expressions, equations and patterns, linking symbols to meaning.
Shape and proportion
Measures, geometry and ratio, using diagrams and carefully chosen examples.
Learning habits
Showing working, asking useful questions, checking answers and practising independently.
An example of the approach
Compare before calculating
Ask which is larger: three quarters or two thirds. Drawing equal-sized bars can make the comparison visible before using a common denominator. Then connect the picture to 9/12 and 8/12.
Personal, considered support
A match you can discuss.
We consider the course, the student’s starting point and how they learn before confirming a suitable tutor.
Clear arrangements before lessons
Your written quotation explains the agreed tuition. We discuss lesson timing and the support needed before you commit.
Teaching with care
Our safeguarding policy requires enhanced DBS checks, identity checks and references before tutors teach.

Your KS3 maths questions.
Straightforward answers, before you take the next step.
Does KS3 tuition have to be exam-focused?
No. The priority may be understanding classroom topics, strengthening foundations or feeling more comfortable asking questions. We discuss an appropriate plan.
Can support help a student who is already doing well?
We can discuss deeper reasoning and suitable challenge as well as consolidation. The work should fit the student’s current understanding and school course.
How will we discuss progress?
We consider what the student can explain and attempt independently, alongside their schoolwork and feedback. Progress is discussed in relation to their own starting point.
