Our Instructors
11+ and School Maths Support
From strengthening everyday school maths to preparing for the 11+ and selective school entry tests, we help children develop the understanding and skills they need to approach new challenges with confidence.
11+ PreparationMathnasium helps children build stronger maths skills, deepen their understanding and grow in confidence.
Mathnasium offers personalised maths tuition both in-centre and online, with specially trained instructors delivering the Mathnasium Method™ wherever your child learns.
A child who is working below the expected level may not yet have developed all the maths skills typically expected for their age or school stage. This can sometimes make it harder for them to keep up in lessons, which may affect confidence and enjoyment of maths.
With the right support and approach, these gaps can be addressed and confidence rebuilt over time.
Every child learns at their own pace, but some signs that a child may benefit from additional maths support include:
Understanding where a child is starting from can help identify both strengths and areas for development, allowing support to be tailored appropriately.
Yes. Some children benefit from additional challenge and enrichment in maths. We support confident learners by extending their understanding, encouraging deeper thinking and exploring maths topics beyond the classroom, while still ensuring learning remains enjoyable and well balanced.
As children move towards secondary school, it’s helpful for them to feel confident with core maths skills. This includes:
Building confidence in these areas can help children approach the transition to secondary maths feeling prepared and capable.
Yes. Time can be set aside within sessions to support children with maths homework, helping them understand the work rather than simply completing it. This ensures homework reinforces learning rather than becoming a source of stress.
Getting started is straightforward:
At Mathnasium, we understand that assessments can sometimes feel stressful for students, so we designed ours to make students feel comfortable and confident from the get-go. We start by building rapport with students, giving them a short centre tour and setting expectations.
We conduct both a verbal and written assessment to understand how each student approaches and thinks about maths. This also helps us identify their strengths, areas for improvement and goals to create a learning plan personalised to their unique needs.
Yes. Mathnasium can support children preparing for the maths elements of the 11+ and other selective school entrance tests. We focus on strengthening mathematical understanding, problem-solving and confidence, while identifying and addressing any gaps that could hold your child back.
Each child follows a personalised learning plan based on their individual needs, helping them build the strong maths foundations needed to approach more challenging questions with confidence.
For many children, Year 5 is an important time to start building the mathematical skills and confidence needed for the 11+.
Starting early gives us time to identify any gaps, strengthen core skills and gradually introduce greater challenge without relying on last-minute exam preparation.
Mathnasium does not follow a single school curriculum in the traditional sense. Instead, we use our own structured teaching approach, known as the Mathnasium Method™, which is designed to support and complement what children are learning at school.
Each child follows a personalised learning plan based on their individual needs. This allows us to focus on building understanding, confidence and fluency in maths, while reinforcing the concepts taught in the classroom.
Our approach helps children make sense of maths step by step, developing a strong foundation that supports progress through the primary years and beyond.
We support children across the full range of primary school maths topics, including:
Support is always tailored to the child’s current understanding, helping to fill gaps, strengthen foundations or provide additional challenge where appropriate.
