• What year groups does Mathnasium of Ealing work with?

  We work with students from Reception through to GCSE, ages 4 to 16, covering every Key Stage from the Early Years Foundation Stage through to KS4. 

  Ealing families come to us for a wide range of reasons, from building solid number sense in the early primary years to preparing for competitive school entry and pushing through GCSE maths with confidence. Whatever the stage, there is a programme to fit. 

• What maths topics and subjects can your tutors in Ealing help with?

  Our instructors cover the full primary and secondary maths curriculum, including number and arithmetic, fractions, decimals and percentages, algebra, ratio and proportion, geometry, statistics and trigonometry, across every Key Stage from KS1 through to KS4. 

  Rather than teaching to a fixed syllabus, sessions follow each child's personalised learning plan, so a Year 2 child working on number bonds and a Year 11 child revising for GCSE Higher tier will each spend their time on exactly what they need. 

• How is Mathnasium different from a private tutor?

  A private tutor's session usually takes shape from whatever the child brings that day. Mathnasium of Ealing starts from a different point entirely. 

  Every child completes a diagnostic assessment before sessions begin and their instruction follows a personalised learning plan built around their specific knowledge gaps and goals.  

  Our instructors work with students face-to-face, following the Mathnasium Method™, a teaching approach used across 1,200+ Mathnasium centres worldwide, so progress is planned rather than improvised. 

  Sessions happen in a caring and fun group environment, where children get personalised, assessment-based instruction while working alongside peers, which keeps them engaged and motivated.

• How do you teach maths? Which curriculum do you use?

  We don't follow a one-size-fits-all curriculum. Instead, our instructors use the Mathnasium Method™, our proprietary teaching approach that combines personalised learning plans with proven teaching techniques to help students develop a deep understanding of maths.  

  Sessions combine mental, verbal, visual, tactile and written techniques, all guided by each child's personalised learning plan. We can align sessions with what students are covering under the National Curriculum at school, so their time with us complements classroom learning while closing any gaps that have built up along the way. 

• Do you work with advanced students or only children struggling with maths?

  Mathnasium of Ealing works with students of all skill levels, whether the goal is catching up, keeping up or getting ahead. 

  For high-achieving students, that means enrichment beyond the school curriculum, including competition-level problem solving and focused preparation for entrance exams, UKMT challenges and the Maths Olympiad. 

  For students who are behind or struggling, we build a personalised learning plan around their specific knowledge gaps and teach it with patience in a relaxed, supportive setting where confidence can grow at their own pace. 

• Do you prepare children for the 11+?

  Yes, Mathnasium of Ealing supports students preparing for the 11+ and the wider range of entrance exams used by local independent and grammar schools, including 7+, 8+, 9+, 10+ and 13+. 

  Many of the families we work with are navigating entry to schools such as St Paul's School, Latymer School, Durston House, St Benedict's School and Notting Hill & Ealing High School. We recommend starting preparation at least a year ahead of the relevant exam, to leave time to build numerical reasoning skills and work through the full range of question types.

• Do you offer GCSE maths tutoring?

  Certainly! Our instructors support Year 10 and Year 11 students through GCSE maths, with sessions built around their target grade, current performance and the topics they most need to improve. We cover the full GCSE maths curriculum, from number and algebra to geometry, ratio, probability and statistics, across both Foundation and Higher tiers. 

• Do you prepare children for SATs?

  Of course! We help Year 6 students prepare for their KS2 SATs papers, working through both the Arithmetic and Reasoning elements with a personalised learning plan focused on each child's specific gaps.  

  We also support Year 4 students ahead of the Multiplication Tables Check and Year 2 students working towards their KS1 assessments. 

• Do you help students prepare for the Maths Olympiad or UKMT challenges?

  Mathnasium of Ealing supports students taking part in UKMT challenges, including the Junior Mathematical Challenge, as well as Maths Olympiad competitions. 

  These competitions call for a different kind of thinking to school maths and our instructors build the problem-solving stamina and confidence students need to tackle unfamiliar questions under time pressure.

• How much does maths tutoring cost at Mathnasium of Ealing?

  Mathnasium of Ealing operates on a flat monthly membership fee. The number of sessions we recommend each week depends on your child's personalised learning plan and goals, though most students attend two to three sessions a week. 

  The exact pricing will be determined after the assessment based on the agreed session frequency and learning goals. 

• How can I enrol my child at Mathnasium of Ealing?

  Start by getting in touch through the Contact Us button on this page or by emailing [email protected]. We will arrange a diagnostic assessment to build a clear picture of where your child is in their maths and what support would help most. 

  After the assessment, we will talk you through the results and the personalised learning plan we have put together and answer any questions before sessions begin.
