This can be especially true if others seem to be coping well in the same situation.....Just imagine sitting on the mat in the classroom surrounded by all your classmates.  All their hands are up, they know the answer, they're starting to wriggle.  Your mind has gone blank, your heart is beating fast and a strange metallic taste is in your mouth. You feel like crying, your face feels red, you wish you could disappear.

​

As adults we know that's a stress response kicking in.....but your child just feels wrong!

​

Children must have confidence in their ability to work things out and a willingness to risk making a mistake if they are to build resilience and succeed.

​

My one-to-one maths tutoring uses mindset strategies, games and simple repetition to:-

 

• Help your child to understand what it means when they get that 'stressed' feeling.

• Focus on basic facts.

• Teach your child how to feel calm so they can get on with figuring things out.

• Look for and 'fill in' learning gaps.

• Build resilience so your child feels comfortable taking a risk and making mistakes.

• Identify and support your child's educational and emotional needs.
