Your child is capable.So why does maths end in tears?
I find the one thing holding them back, and we fix it. One British-curriculum teacher, at your home or online, with written feedback after every lesson.

What's worrying you?
Tap the one that sounds like your child.
- Times tables and number facts: slow facts drag every topic down.
- Written methods: is the answer in their head but lost on paper?
- Multi-step problems: can they plan, not just calculate?
- Whether they understand what they read, or only decode the words.
- How a paragraph is built: point, evidence, explanation.
- Writing stamina and speed under time pressure.
- Which test it is (GL, CAT4, ISEB, school's own) and what it really measures.
- The skills under the questions, not just past papers.
- A calm, realistic plan for the weeks you have.
- Where it started: often one topic that never clicked.
- Small, quick wins that rebuild belief.
- How they ask for help when they're stuck.
- Gaps between their old curriculum and the British one.
- Which year-group skills they've missed, in order.
- A catch-up plan with clear milestones.
- A first lesson across English and maths to see the whole picture.
- How they work: starting, checking, giving up.
- An honest view, even if the answer is 'nothing to worry about'.
A qualified British teacher. Not an agency.
The person you message is the person who teaches your child, every lesson. And every lesson ends with a short written note, like this one.
I'm a male teacher. Lessons at home happen with a parent or another adult in the house, in whichever room suits your family, and a parent is always welcome to sit in. Online is always an option.
Today column subtraction across zeros
Went well 4 out of 4 by the end, and he checked his own work
Next the same idea in word problems
At home ask him to explain one answer to you

Hello, my daughter is in Year 3 and finds reading really hard. Can you help?Yes, I'd be glad to. Reading usually comes down to one or two specific skills. Shall we start with a first lesson this week? - 2
First lesson, then a written note
One lesson to see exactly where they are. Afterwards you get a note: what I saw and what I'd do next.
After the first lessonStrong reasoning. The gap is times tables: 31 out of 50 in five minutes. That's why the longer problems go wrong. I'd start there.

Most tutoring sells more lessons. I’d rather find the one thing that’s wrong, and fix it properly.
In parents’ words
Shared with permission. Names left out on purpose.
He was new at school and took a while to settle, and he rushed everything just to get it done. I didn’t want someone to push him; I wanted someone to understand him. A few days ago I saw him check his homework twice without being told, and I couldn’t believe it. Now he comes home happy and tells me about his day. Thank you.
Bright boy, but the move hit him hard. Making friends had always come easily, and suddenly it didn’t. We didn’t need someone to push him academically; we needed someone to get him back to himself. A few weeks in, he came home talking about a new friend for the first time since we arrived. Honestly wish we’d started earlier.
He lives for football and had decided he “wasn’t a maths person”. Now he’s working out his own match stats for fun — goals per game, pass percentages, the lot. He did his maths homework before training last week without being asked. Didn’t think I’d see that.
Start with one lesson.
If you carry on within 14 days, it comes off your first package.
