When I joined the maths intervention, I was a bit apprehensive as I needed certain method that would help my students as well as me. The worksheets are quite viable and students mostly approach them with a positive outlook. The best part of this maths programme are the videos. They are really helpful. When I watch them with my students, they clear my doubts and I feel ready to deliver lessons with a clear and positive mindset. I really enjoyed rounding up, place value data handling with my students. The phrase “five or above give it a shove” stays with my students and they can do their rounding up without much confusion. The assessment sheets help me in placing them exactly where they are, and to my surprise some of my students have made it back to their normal maths lessons confidently. I believe the whole programme is quite viable and lucrative for our students and helps them in mastering their skills.
We are a dedicated team of experienced classroom teachers, with an additional wealth of experience in private tutoring, teaching children with additional needs, and a variety of leadership roles.
We originally created Tutor Your Child (TYC) in 2021, following Covid school closures, to help parents to support their own children with a weekly tutoring session but without private tutor costs. Each tutorial offers a weekly tutoring video and supporting work at three levels for every year group from year R to year 6.
These videos can also be used to offer support in just particular areas of maths and English (Bundles) and we also offer a ‘Refresher’ programme giving a summary of 9 lessons for the school year.
The School Consultancy Programme was formed in 2022, using the TYC resources when a secondary school asked us for help their students with gaps in primary maths, which were preventing them from achieving within the KS3 secondary curriculum, and so effecting GCSE results.
We were delighted to help and have found this work inspiring and rewarding, watching students confidence and attainment grow as their skill gaps are closed.
To help your children at school
We know from years of tutoring and teaching, many parents want to help their children achieve at school but don’t know how to help them, to what level or modern teaching methods.
To provide a comprehensive programme
Our goal was to make our tutoring programme manageable, break it down into small steps, and provide easy-to-follow tutorials, along with all necessary worksheets and answers.
To boost children’s confidence
Drawing from personal experiences, we’ve witnessed the impact of losing confidence and self-esteem has on children—both those we’ve tutored and within our own families. Our goal with this programme was to assist parents in finding additional help and support to uphold their child’s confidence in maths.
The School Consultancy Tutoring Programme has combined our desire to help students, with adapting our original materials, to support early detection of gaps forming in maths understanding and help students to regain their confidence and move on to success.
We have over 40 years of teaching and tutoring experience across primary education and have written our programme chronologically to build students’ understanding across all primary maths topics in a logical and easy-to-follow way using modern, tested methods.
As the programme is all pre-written and recorded, once we have created a ‘Roadmap’ plan of tutorials for a student(s), a teaching assistant is able to deliver the lessons, with full training and support given. This also up-skills teaching assistants and reduces the pressure and costs of recruiting additional maths teachers, whilst still making sure the students are following a structured plan for their needs.
Students understanding and skill gaps are closed, helping them to maintain confidence, motivation and achievement in maths and reach their potential.
We provide detailed tracking of students’ baseline, further progress twice a year, and end of year programme reporting so you can see how effective the programme has been.
“They [The School Consultancy Tutoring Programme] understood that secondary school maths teachers are trained to deliver the KS3 National Curriculum. Yet, some children start in Year 7 with base line data as low as infant age children and so many pupils have other gaps in key primary maths skills which prevent them moving into KS3 learning. Even the best teachers and schools’ systems may need to rethink how they provide maths provision.
I am delighted to say I commissioned the School Consultancy Tutoring Programme and I’ve watched a new service being formed. Working closely with schools, they are now able to offer packages of targeted and specialist level support in secondary mainstream schools. The data speaks for itself, but the real power of the programme is hearing what pupils say and believe. I’ve watched pupils realise that they are making progress, and they are starting to believe that they can do maths. It has transformed the school’s offer of support to our pupils.”
