• What year groups does Mathnasium of Sheen 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. 

  Sheen families come to us at a range of different stages and with different goals, 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 Sheen 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 2 child preparing for the 7+ and a Year 11 child revising for GCSE will each get exactly the focus they need. 

• How is Mathnasium different from a private tutor?

  A private tutor's session often depends on whatever the child brings along that day, a worksheet, a homework question or an upcoming test.  

  Mathnasium of Sheen focuses on (re)building maths foundations and expanding the students' mathematical thinking, as we support their classroom progress. 

  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.  

  Sessions take place in a supportive and fun learning environment, where children receive face-to-face maths support and build confidence to serve them in the classroom and beyond.

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

  At Mathnasium of Sheen, we don't follow a traditional curriculum. We use the Mathnasium Method™, our proprietary teaching approach designed to help children build maths mastery, whatever their starting point. 

  Our instructors combine mental, verbal, visual, tactile and written techniques with personalised, 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 Sheen works with children of every skill level, whether they're catching up, keeping up with their year group or ready to get ahead. 

  For children who struggle with maths, the personalised learning plan ensures we start from exactly where they are and build forward at a pace that suits them, closing knowledge gaps in a clear, logical order. 

  Children who are ahead of their year group get the same personalised approach, focused on enrichment that introduces them to maths beyond the school curriculum, whether that's entrance exam preparation, competitions or simply more demanding work.

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

  Yes! Mathnasium of Sheen supports children preparing for the 7+, 10+, 11+ and 13+, including ISEB Common Pre-Test and Common Entrance style 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 completes a diagnostic assessment that pinpoints their strengths, knowledge gaps, learning style and individual goals. We use this information to build the learning plan that will put them on the best path to maths mastery. 

• How much does maths tutoring cost at Mathnasium of Sheen?

  Tuition at Mathnasium of Sheen is priced as a flat monthly membership fee rather than a per-session rate, much like a gym membership. Most children see 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 Sheen?

  Get in touch through the Contact Us button on this page or by emailing [email protected] to arrange a free diagnostic assessment. 

  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.
