Who it’s for
For students building a firm base in lower secondary Maths.
For parents
Looking for a small-group class of 2–6 students, with time for questions and conversations about progress.
Our teaching approach
Understand → Practise → Apply
Each topic is taught in three steps. The aim is for students to apply what they learn on their own, not only follow a worked example.
-
Understand the idea
Lessons start with an explanation of why a method works, not just the steps.
-
Practise with guidance
Students work through questions of increasing difficulty, with feedback on their working.
-
Apply it to unfamiliar questions
Students attempt exam-style and non-routine questions and choose a method on their own.
The small-group difference
Groups of 2–6 students.
With 2–6 students in a group, lessons leave time to look at each student’s working and respond to questions as they come up. Students also hear how others approach the same problem.
Time for questions
Students can ask questions during the lesson.
Feedback on working
Working is reviewed during practice, while the topic is fresh.
Comparing methods
Students look at different ways of reaching the same answer.
Explaining working
Students practise explaining their working, out loud and on paper.
