• What year groups does Mathnasium of King's Heath work with?

  We work with children from Reception through to GCSE, ages 4 to 16, across all Key Stages from the Early Years Foundation Stage through to KS4. 

  King's Heath families come to us for different reasons and goals, some looking for early maths help and others focused on getting ahead or preparing for their GCSEs. Whatever your child's maths goal, we have a programme to fit. 

• What maths topics and subjects can your tutors in King's Heath help with?

  Our instructors support children across the full primary and secondary maths curriculum, from number, fractions, decimals and percentages through to algebra, ratio, geometry and statistics, at every level from KS1 through to KS4. 

  Because each child follows their own personalised learning plan, a Year 3 child working on times tables and a Year 11 child preparing for GCSE will each get exactly the focus they need.

• How is Mathnasium different from a private tutor?

  Private tutors usually provide temporary support focused on the topics the student is struggling with or the goal they are trying to achieve. 

  Mathnasium focuses on (re)building solid foundational skills and helping the student excel on their maths journey, regardless of their current skill level. 

  The student's Mathnasium experience begins with a diagnostic assessment, so their learning can follow a personalised plan shaped around their own knowledge gaps and goals. Our instructors follow the Mathnasium Method™, a structured, proven teaching approach used across more than 1,300 centres worldwide, so progress builds steadily rather than depending on what came up that week. 

  Sessions take place in a supportive and fun learning environment, where children receive face-to-face maths support and build confidence alongside their peers.

• How do you teach maths? Which curriculum do you use?

  At Mathnasium of King's Heath, we don't follow a fixed curriculum. We use the Mathnasium Method™, our proprietary teaching approach designed to help children build maths mastery, whatever level they're starting from. 

  Our instructors combine mental, verbal, visual, tactile and written techniques with assessment-based learning plans, teaching each child in the way that works best for them.  

  Sessions can complement what children are covering in school under the National Curriculum, while steadily closing any knowledge gaps that have built up along the way.

• Do you work with advanced children or only the ones struggling with maths?

  Mathnasium of King's Heath works with children of every skill level, whether they're catching up, keeping up with their year group or ready to get ahead. 

  When a child is finding maths difficult, the personalised learning plan ensures we start from exactly where they are and build forward at a pace that suits them, closing knowledge gaps methodically so nothing feels rushed. 

  Children going ahead of their year group get the same personalised approach, focused on enrichment that introduces them to maths beyond the school curriculum and keeps them motivated to go further.

• Do you help prepare children for the 11+?

  Yes! Mathnasium of King's Heath supports children preparing for the 11+, focusing on the numerical reasoning and problem-solving skills these exams test. 

  As entry requirements and timelines vary by school, we build every child's plan around their specific target school, leaving enough time to close any gaps before exam day. 

• Do you offer GCSE maths tutoring?

  Yes, our instructors support Year 10 and Year 11 children through their GCSE maths preparation, with a personalised plan built around their current performance, target grade and the topics where they most need to improve. 

  We cover the full GCSE maths curriculum, including number, algebra, geometry, ratio, probability and statistics, across both Foundation and Higher tiers. 

• Do you prepare children for SATs?

  Yes, we help Year 6 children prepare for their KS2 SATs maths papers, working through both the Arithmetic and Reasoning papers, and support Year 2 children with their KS1 teacher assessments. 

  We use the diagnostic assessment to identify the specific concepts that need reinforcing, then build those into the child's learning plan. 

• Why do you require an assessment for enrolment?

  Each child's Mathnasium journey starts with a diagnostic assessment that pinpoints their strengths, knowledge gaps and personal goals, giving us what we need to build a personalised learning plan that puts them on the best path to maths mastery. 

• How much does maths tutoring cost at Mathnasium of King's Heath?

  Tuition at Mathnasium of King's Heath is priced as a flat monthly membership fee rather than a per-session rate, much like a gym membership. Most children get the best results attending two to three sessions a week. 

  Following the diagnostic assessment, we will recommend a session plan tailored to your child's learning needs and goals.
