Overview of planned sessions

Reach more pupils at once

You choose which pupils need support; we'll provide a dedicated specialist maths tutor and a personalised learning journey for each one

This provides the opportunity for a large number of children to engage in a bespoke maths intervention at the same time - with personalised objectives so everyone is at the right level.

Address individual gaps

Tutoring content, pitch and pace is fully personalised following diagnostic and in-session assessments, meaning you can plug individual gaps across cohorts.

No matter how much of a good teacher you are, you can never get to 30 children and do 30 different pieces of work and that is what is needed. It's the best type of intervention you can have

Maximise school funding

We're proud to be the most affordable DfE-approved one to one tutoring provider, with subsidised tutoring available through the National Tutoring Programme

It's just as effective as bringing in a one to one tutor but it's so much cheaper, so you can afford to have more children doing it.

Free up staff time

Schools have a reliable, consistent and easy-to-run intervention for their target groups, giving class teachers more time to focus on whole class teaching

It's organised and just happens for the children each week. They look forward to it. It makes personalisation nice and easy - for a change!

Save on staff training

All programmes are built by former maths teachers and pedagogy experts; all tutors are STEM specialists who complete intensive initial and ongoing maths tutor training

It's such a fantastic, well-researched programme. It's had a huge impact on our pupils' maths learning. The tutors really build pupils' metacognition..

The way the tuition is set up is seamless. One of the Deputy Heads recently observed a session and he immediately said "This is fantastic!". I was thrilled that he had the opportunity to see how engaged the students were.
