A student who's behind in maths can feel it in every lesson. In Liskeard, our maths tutors help students close those gaps with focused, weekly sessions tailored to exactly what they need. Whether the problem is equations and inequalities, word problems, or exam skills, we've seen students move up by a full grade within a term when they get the right support.

Does Tutoring Work?
Most students who work with a tutor weekly for a term see a noticeable improvement — typically one to two grades at GCSEs level. We track progress through regular topic tests and past-paper scores. But it's not just about grades: students also develop better problem-solving habits, stronger mental arithmetic, and the confidence to tackle questions they'd previously skip. For parents in Liskeard, that shift from "I can't do maths" to "I worked it out" is often the most valuable outcome.
Matching the Cornwall Curriculum
Schools in Liskeard typically use OCR or AQA for their maths specifications. Our tutors know both, and they'll match their teaching to whichever syllabus your young person follows. This means practice questions, practice papers, and revision materials are all relevant to the exact exam your young person will sit — not generic content from a different board. At Liskeard School and Community College, we're familiar with how topics are sequenced and where students most commonly need extra support.
Seeing Results
Parents in Liskeard should be able to see tangible evidence that tutoring is working. After each block of work, the tutor provides a brief update on what was covered, how the learner responded, and what comes next. For exam-level pupils, we track scores on topic tests and timed papers, giving a concrete picture of improvement — not vague reassurances. If progress stalls, we adjust the approach rather than repeating what is not working.
For Younger Learners
Strong maths skills start early. For primary-age children in Liskeard, 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.
