Best Math Tutors in Aylesbury

We have some families who just work with us in term time, others carry on right through. Some families will get in touch and ask if we can just work with them during a specific school break. Because the children are at home during the school day it gives us a lot more flexibility which generally means we can definitely help. If you do want to continue in the holidays, we can often be more flexible with the days /times. Again, just ask if that would make life easier for you. This is generally at your discretion. Obviously, the tutors will have their own holidays booked, family birthdays, etc. but on the whole, lessons are available all year if you want them. If you would like to break over the holidays, no problem, just let us know in advance so that we can plan accordingly.

I'm afraid not, we already work hard to keep the cost of our lessons down. The time and effort it takes to prepare individual lessons means that we can't lower the price. We aren't the most expensive, and I recognize we're not the cheapest either, but we will always do our upmost to do our best.

Generally no as there is now a team of us working at Clara James. However, when the tutors have reached their capacity I take care over who I employ to help represent the business. It has taken 12 years to build up an amazing reputation and we have achieved that because those who work with me are amazing. I can recommend each and every one of them with confidence. So, sometimes there may be a delay whilst I find a new suitable tutor, and I apologize about that, but I would rather recommend the right person than just anyone and damage our reputation because of a quick impulsive decision.

For face-to-face lessons the only thing you may need to provide is a calculator if we are doing Math. However, for online lessons, if we can ask you to have a pen, piece of paper, and calculator to hand (if appropriate) that would be appreciated as it saves time during the lesson trying to find them.

No, because each of us is so different, we generally find that one child may be more confident in one things, other children will be more confident in other areas. But if a child is already lacking confidence and they are once again presented with a friend, sibling, peer that is better than them, it can reinforce that idea that everyone else is better than them. That they can't do it. They're stupid. Also, we often learn differently so whilst 1 thing may work for you, for the other child, something entirely different would be more productive so the time spent isn't as effective as it should be. You may choose to split the time and do half and half with each sibling, or alternate the weeks. However, group lessons is definitely not something we would advocate for. Note: We are increasing the number of workshops that we are providing which would be presented for group work.
