In Greater London, maths results matter — they're a gateway to sixth form, university, and careers in everything from engineering to finance. For Lewisham students struggling with topics like equations and inequalities or fractions and decimals, our tutors provide structured sessions that target weak areas and build lasting understanding, not just surface-level tricks for passing exams.
How to Begin
Let us know to arrange an initial chat about your child's maths needs. We'll match them with a tutor in Lewisham who knows the AQA syllabus and can start making a difference from the first session.
Matching the Greater London Curriculum
Schools in Lewisham typically use AQA or Edexcel for their maths specifications. Our tutors know both, and they'll match their teaching to whichever syllabus your child follows. This means practice questions, real exam questions, and revision materials are all relevant to the exact exam your child will sit — not generic content from a different board. At Prendergast School, we're familiar with how topics are sequenced and where students most commonly need extra support.
Primary Maths Support
Strong maths skills start early. For primary-age children in Lewisham, our tutors 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.
Flexible Arrangements
Scheduling needs to work for the whole family. In Lewisham, 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.
Topics We Focus On
The most common areas where Lewisham students need maths support are equations and inequalities, trigonometry, and fractions and decimals. These topics build on each other — a shaky grasp of equations and inequalities often leads to problems with geometry and angles later on. Our tutors identify exactly where the chain broke and work forward from there. For GCSEs students, we also focus heavily on test strategy: showing working, time management, and understanding how marks are allocated on AQA papers.
