For students in Faversham who find maths difficult — and it's one of the most commonly struggled-with subjects — targeted one-to-one support makes a measurable difference. Topics like percentages and geometry and angles trip students up year after year. Our experienced educators break these concepts down, fill gaps from earlier years, and build towards exam-ready confidence.
KS1 and KS2 Maths
Strong maths skills start early. For primary-age children in Faversham, our experienced educators focus on number bonds, times tables, fractions, and the reasoning skills tested in Key Stage 2 SATs. A child who arrives at secondary school without these foundations will find it increasingly difficult to keep up. Our approach for younger students balances structured practice with engaging activities, building confidence without pressure.
A Typical Session
Each session lasts around an hour. The tutor works through concepts with your young learner, sets practice problems, and reviews previous work. There's no one-size-fits-all script — sessions are shaped by what the student actually needs that week. For students preparing for GCSEs, we use sample papers from Edexcel to build familiarity with the format. For younger students, we focus on number confidence, mental arithmetic, and problem-solving strategies. Progress is shared with parents so you can see improvement building week by week.
Common Maths Challenges
The most common areas where Faversham students need maths support are percentages, geometry and angles, and fractions and decimals. These topics build on each other — a shaky grasp of percentages often leads to problems with equations and inequalities later on. Our experienced educators identify exactly where the chain broke and work forward from there. For GCSEs students, we also focus heavily on exam technique: showing working, time management, and understanding how marks are allocated on Edexcel papers.
Fitting Tutoring In
Scheduling needs to work for the whole family. In Faversham, we offer morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend availability to fit around school, sport, and family commitments. Whether the preference is a fixed weekly slot or a more adaptable arrangement, we accommodate it. During busier periods — mock exam season, for instance — many families increase frequency before scaling back again.
