Best Math Tutors in Bicester

If you had asked me that prior to lockdown I would have stated that every lessons takes place in your home. If your child is in an environment where they feel relaxed and comfortable, they will be in a better position to concentrate and retain the information. However, Covid changed that. We now offer lessons either in your home or online. Either way, lessons are still always one-to-one and tailored to your specific needs.

If you have decided you no longer need to support of the tutor you are working with, please can you give us a minimum of 1 weeks notice so that we are able to offer your time slot to someone else.

This is something we are often asked and the answer, is no. I believe that if a stranger tested me on something I knew I struggled with, I would feel under pressure and wouldn't perform at my full potential. I know many families who get in touch do so because their child has exams coming up, but the goal by the exam is to boost the child's confidence and knowledge so they feel less of that anxiety when the day arrives. Instead, what we will do is talk to you as the parent and the child when appropriate and establish what a good starting point would be. Is there a topic they are specifically struggling with or would working through a past paper together give us a better feel of their capabilities. Very often I would recommend starting slightly below their level of comfort so that we can prove to them what they are capable of so that they have the confidence to move on, rather than setting them up for a challenge or a fall from the outset and building up greater barriers. Then through observations, school assessments, conversations, school curriculum we can work our way forwards until we are no longer needed.

That is completely at your discretion. Some families want weekly lessons, some want fortnightly. We occasionally have families who want them monthly, others want them two or three times a week. You know what you want, what you can afford. We are willing to be as flexible as needed. Sometimes circumstances change and that's completely ok too, again, just let us know and we will do our best to fit in with what you need. Additionally, the lessons are normally for 60 minutes, but if you feel that is too long, no problem we can shorten it. Some families choose to do 30 or 45 minutes with each of their children, again that is absolutely fine.
