Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some solidarity (and maybe some advice!). My child is starting to really fall behind in Maths at school, and it’s beginning to affect their confidence in other subjects too. We try to help with homework, but as I’m sure many of you know, the way they teach it now is completely different from when we were in school, and it usually just ends in tears for everyone involved.
We’ve decided it’s time to look for a bit of extra help outside of school. We want to find someone local or even online who is used to working with kids who have lost their spark for numbers.
For those who have hired a tutor for primary or early secondary, did you find it actually helped take the pressure off your relationship with your child? Were you able to find someone who was flexible with their schedule?
Any tips would be massively appreciated!
