I would like to subscribe to the Maths Helpline, but only close to my exam. Is this possible?
Definitely! The Maths Helpline has no long=-term commitment. You can pay week by week for the times that you want to use it. It will be great for the weeks leading up to an exam, to have your tutor available on hand and not lose any precious time researching adn wondering.
My daughter is in year 5. Is it too early to start Maths tutoring?
It's never too early to start learning any subject. THe key is to use the correct teaching method and aboid overcomplicating essential skills when they start young.
Forming critical thinking skills at a young age will smoothen their learning joiurney and give greater potential to excel past others.
My child has never had a tutor and I think she is too shy to communicate her struggles with a tutor. What should I do?
Every person communicates differently and often, with positive reinforcement, their confidence builds. Patience combined with probing questions are key for gauging these students' understanding and level at Maths.
However, a FREEE consult followed by a commitment-free, FREE trial session would be perfect starting point for you and your child.
Should you study Maths during the holidays?
Absolutely.
Think about athletes during the off-season. They don’t stop training completely—they adjust their routine to stay in shape. Why? Because taking months off makes it much harder to get back on track. The same is true for Maths.
You’ve worked hard this year, and you deserve time to relax. But 20-30 minutes of daily practice will help you maintain your progress. If that feels like too much, start with just 5 minutes. Solve one question, review a key concept, or watch a short Maths video. If you miss a day, that’s okay—just pick it up again the next day. A little consistent effort now will make all the difference when the new term begins.
