• What year groups does Mathnasium of South Kensington work with?

  We work with children from Year 1 through to GCSE, ages 5 to 16, across all Key Stages from KS1 through to KS4. 

  Families come to us at different stages and with different goals, some preparing early for London's competitive entrance exams, others building foundations or heading towards GCSEs. Whatever your child's maths goal, we have a programme to fit.

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

  Our instructors support children across the full primary and secondary maths curriculum, from number, fractions, decimals and percentages through to algebra, ratio, geometry and statistics, at every level from KS1 through to KS4. 

  Because each child follows their own personalised learning plan, a Year 3 child working on times tables and a Year 11 child preparing for GCSE will each get exactly the focus they need.

• How is Mathnasium different from a private tutor?

  Unlike private tutors who usually provide support with ongoing schoolwork, Mathnasium focuses on building lasting maths mastery. 

  Our sessions are structured around each student’s personalised learning plan, targeting their specific knowledge gaps and adjusting to their learning style and pace. Each session also includes time for homework help, so students leave our centre feeling confident and ready to tackle exams and new topics in their maths classroom. 

  Our instructors follow the Mathnasium Method™, a structured, consistent teaching approach used across more than 1,300 centres worldwide, so progress builds steadily rather than depending on what came up that week. 

  Sessions take place in a supportive and fun learning environment, where children receive face-to-face maths support. 

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

  At Mathnasium of South Kensington, we don't follow a fixed curriculum. We use the Mathnasium Method™, our proprietary teaching approach designed to help children build maths mastery, whatever level they're starting from. 

  Our instructors combine mental, verbal, visual, tactile and written teaching techniques with personalised, assessment-based learning plans, adapting instruction to how each child learns best.  

  Sessions complement what children are covering in school under the National Curriculum, while steadily closing any knowledge gaps that have built up along the way.

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

  Mathnasium of South Kensington works with children of every skill level, whether they're catching up, keeping up with their year group or ready to get ahead. 

  Students who struggle with maths benefit from our personalised approach that ensures we start from exactly where they are and build forward at a pace that suits them, closing knowledge gaps methodically so nothing feels rushed. 

  Children going ahead of their year group receive the same personalised approach, focused on enrichment that introduces them to maths beyond the school curriculum and keeps them motivated to go further.

• Do you help prepare children for the 11+?

  Yes! Mathnasium of South Kensington supports children preparing for the 11+, including entry to schools such as St Paul's School and Latymer Upper School, focusing on the numerical reasoning and problem-solving skills these exams test. 

  As each school sets its own exam content and timeline, we build every child's plan around their specific target school, leaving enough time to close any gaps before exam day.

• Do you offer GCSE maths tutoring?

  Yes, our instructors support Year 10 and Year 11 children through their GCSE maths preparation, with a personalised plan built around their current performance, target grade and the topics where they most need to improve. 

  We cover the full GCSE maths curriculum, including number, algebra, geometry, ratio, probability and statistics, across both Foundation and Higher tiers.

• Why do you require an assessment for enrolment?

  The assessment helps us understand how your child learns best. 

  Each child's Mathnasium journey starts with a diagnostic assessment that pinpoints their strengths, knowledge gaps and personal goals, giving us what we need to build a personalised learning plan that puts them on the best path to maths mastery. 

• How much does maths tutoring cost at Mathnasium of South Kensington?

  Tuition at Mathnasium of South Kensington is priced as a flat monthly membership fee rather than a per-session rate, much like a gym membership. Most children get the best results attending two to three sessions a week. 

  Following the diagnostic assessment, we will recommend a session plan tailored to your child's learning needs and goals.
