• What year groups does Mathnasium of Richmond 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. 

  Richmond families come to us at all sorts of different stages, some preparing early for London's competitive entrance exams, others building foundations or heading towards GCSEs. Whatever your child's maths goal, we have a programme to fit. 

• What maths topics and subjects can your tutors in Richmond help with?

  Our specially trained 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. 

  As each child follows their own personalised learning plan, a Year 2 child preparing for the 7+ and a Year 11 child revising for GCSE, for instance, will each get exactly the focus they need.

• How is Mathnasium different from a private tutor?

  Private tutors typically provide temporary support, so students can tackle a tricky topic, stay on top of their school work or prepare for an upcoming exam. 

  Mathnasium provides both short-term math help as well as guidance towards long-term maths mastery. 

  Our approach combines structured, personalised learning plans students follow in each session with proven teaching techniques that adapt instruction to their learning style, pace and needs. We focus on (re)building foundational maths skills alongside critical thinking and problem-solving ones, so students develop the tools they need to succeed both in the classroom and beyond. 

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

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

  At Mathnasium of Richmond, instead of a traditional 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 follow personalised, assessment-based learning plans, so each child can focus on the goals, topics and skills they need help with.  

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

  Children who are struggling with maths can engage with the subject in a supportive and fun environment and at their own pace. Our personalised learning plans target the knowledge gaps that are preventing them from grasping new concepts. As we work to rebuild their foundational skills, students’ confidence grows and they begin to truly understand and even enjoy maths. 

  Advanced learners receive the same personalised instruction in an engaging environment. They follow tailored enrichment programs that introduce them to deeper thinking and topics outside of their maths curriculum, so they can stay challenged and motivated to advance. 

• Do you help prepare children for the 7+, 10+, 11+ and 13+?

  Yes! Mathnasium of Richmond supports children preparing for the 7+, 10+, 11+ and 13+, including ISEB Common Pre-Test and Common Entrance assessments, focusing on the numerical reasoning and problem-solving skills these exams test. 

  As entry points, timelines and content vary from school to school, we build every child's plan around their specific target school, leaving enough time to close any gaps before assessment 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.

• 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 Richmond?

  Mathnasium of Richmond delivers premium-value tuition priced as a flat monthly membership fee, 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. 

• How can I enrol my child at Mathnasium of Richmond?

  After the assessment, we'll walk you through the results and the personalised learning plan we've put together for your child, answering any questions before sessions begin. 

  Assessment is commitment-free.
