How is my child's progress monitored?

Your child will have multiple assessment points throughout their learning journey starting with a baseline assessment prior to formal lessons. These help us identify your child’s strengths and weaknesses and put in place action plans to resolve weaknesses.

Will I receive updates about my child's performance in the course?

How many students do you have per group?

We want to help as many students as we can improve their maths! Our structured programs ensures students with similar abilities are grouped together. We currently set a maximum class size of 15 students per group. We have found this to be a sweet spot small enough personalized learning and individual attention but large enough to create a community of like minded learners.

Can students ask questions or receive additional maths support outside of lessons?

Yes! Students have 24/7 access to the ‘Learning Community’ and weekly ‘Office Hours’.

Office hours are held once a week to support any student struggling with any aspect of their mathematical learning be it in our programme or school. It allows for really dedicated 1-to-1 support for the students who need it most.

The Learning Community a forum where students can ask any maths-related questions, or take pictures of questions they are stuck on and post them. Any tutor and student online can then help them with their maths question by sharing their own solutions or providing hints and tips to push them in the right direction! This is a powerful feature unique to us that allows students of similar abilities, mindsets and learning goals to help support, motivate and learn from one another.

Does the course focus only on academic improvement?

The course goes beyond just grades, focusing on building essential life skills, confidence, and a strong foundation for future success.

Within the Agreement, our Online Code of Conduct is clearly outlined for students, parents and tutors to adhere to. In addition, before starting any lesson, students must watch the Welcome/Onboarding Call where we break down what to expect from the program, how to make the most out of their learning experience and the safeguarding practices we have in place to help students protect themselves online.
