• What year groups does Mathnasium of Muswell Hill work with?

  Mathnasium of Muswell Hill works with children from Year 1 through to GCSE, children aged 5 to 16, covering Key Stages 1 through to KS4. 

  Muswell Hill has an exceptionally varied secondary school landscape. Fortismere School is one of the most sought-after state comprehensives in North London; Alexandra Park School draws children from a wide catchment; and independent schools such as Channing attract families from across N10 and beyond.  

  We work with children at every stage of the journey through this landscape, from early primary maths right through to Year 11 GCSE preparation.

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

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

  For children working towards the 11+ or Maths Olympiad, sessions extend into mathematical reasoning, multi-step problem-solving and the kind of creative thinking these assessments reward. As with all our teaching, the content is guided entirely by each child’s personalised learning plan.

• How is Mathnasium different from a private tutor?

  With private tutoring, what gets covered each week tends to depend on what the child needs help with at that moment.  

  At Mathnasium support is much more structured, consistent, and focused on the long-term goal of building maths mastery. Every child starts their Mathnasium experience with a diagnostic assessment, and their sessions are shaped by a personalised learning plan built specifically around their knowledge gaps, not just the topics that happened to come up in homework that week.   

  Our instructors follow the Mathnasium Method™, used across 1,200+ centres worldwide, so every session connects logically to the one before. Progress accumulates. Sessions take place in a supportive small-group setting that children enjoy, and because the instruction is always personalised, each child is challenged at exactly the right level. 

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

  We use the Mathnasium Method™, our proprietary teaching approach, and not a standard curriculum. Our approach combines personalized learning plans with proven teaching techniques to promote deep understanding over memorization. It is developed to help students build solid foundations for maths mastery, transforming how they think and feel about the subject.    

  Our instructors draw on mental, verbal, visual, tactile and written approaches, all guided by each child’s personalised learning plan. When needed, we can align sessions with the National Curriculum so school learning is reinforced, while building the deeper understanding that takes children beyond it.

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

  We work with children of all skill levels, whether they are looking to catch up or keep up, or are ready to get ahead in their maths class.  

  Many of the children who come to us are already doing well at school and want to go further, whether that means building confidence, preparing for selective school entry, or reaching their full potential in exams. 

  • For high-achievers, we extend their learning into harder problem-solving, sharper reasoning and greater mathematical fluency.  

  • For children who are struggling or have developed gaps over time, we go back to the point where their understanding is secure and work forward from there, methodically, without pressure, at a pace that builds real confidence. 

• Do you prepare children for the 11+?

  Yes! Mathnasium of Muswell Hill supports students preparing for 11+ entrance assessments. 

  Solid 11+ maths preparation is about more than covering the curriculum. It requires speed, accuracy and the ability to reason through multi-step problems. We recommend starting in Year 4 or early Year 5, and we build a programme that develops all three.

• Do you prepare children for the Maths Olympiad?

  Yes, Mathnasium of Muswell Hill supports children entering UKMT Junior, Intermediate and Senior Mathematical Challenges and Olympiad rounds. Competition maths is a different discipline from school maths. It rewards ingenuity, careful reasoning and the ability to find a route through problems that sometimes have no obvious method. 

  We find that children who pursue Olympiad preparation alongside their regular sessions develop a quality of mathematical thinking that benefits everything else they do: their GCSE work becomes more fluent, their 11+ reasoning sharper, and their general confidence in tackling hard problems grows considerably. 

• Do you prepare children for GCSE maths?

  Yes, our instructors support Year 10 and Year 11 students with personalised GCSE preparation plans built around their current grade, target and the specific topics that need the most attention. We cover the complete GCSE maths curriculum across both Foundation and Higher tiers: number, algebra, geometry, ratio, probability and statistics. 

  Many students in Muswell Hill are aiming for the highest grades, particularly those heading to sixth forms with demanding entry requirements at Fortismere, Channing or further afield. We help them get there with a plan that is focused, efficient and built around what they individually need. 

• Do you prepare children for SATs?

  Yes. We support Year 6 children preparing for their KS2 SATs maths papers, working through both the Arithmetic and Reasoning components with a personalised plan targeting each child’s specific areas of difficulty. We also support Year 4 children ahead of the Multiplication Tables Check. 

• How much does maths tutoring cost at Mathnasium of Muswell Hill?

  Mathnasium of Muswell Hill operates on a flat monthly membership fee. Most children attend two to three sessions per week. 

  We will recommend a session plan tailored to your child's learning needs and goals, following their diagnostic assessment.

• How can I enrol my child at Mathnasium of Muswell Hill?

  The assessment is where we start. It gives us an accurate picture of your child's maths and everything we need to build their personalised learning plan. 

  Once that's done, we walk you through the results and the plan we've put together, and make sure all your questions are answered before your child's first session.
