As a parent, you want your child to feel confident and capable in their learning. But how do you know when they might need extra support in maths? Here are some key signs that a tutor could help:
1. Falling Behind in Class
If your child struggles to keep up with new maths concepts or finds homework increasingly difficult, they may need extra support to reinforce their understanding.
2. Loss of Confidence in Maths
Many students who struggle in maths begin to believe they are “bad at it.” A tutor can help rebuild confidence by explaining concepts in a way that makes sense to them.
3. Avoiding Homework or Tests
If your child dreads maths homework or feels anxious before a test, it could indicate they are unsure of key concepts. Tutoring provides a safe space to practice and prepare.
4. Declining Grades
A sudden drop in maths scores may mean your child is struggling with new topics. A tutor can help identify gaps in understanding and work on them before they become bigger issues.
5. Lack of Interest in Maths
Sometimes, students lose interest in maths because they don’t see its real-world value. A good tutor can make learning engaging and show how maths applies to everyday life.
6. Struggling with Basic Skills
If your child has difficulty with times tables, fractions, or problem-solving, they may need a tutor to help build a solid foundation before moving on to more complex topics.
7. You’re Not Sure How to Help
Even if you’re great at maths, explaining it in a way your child understands can be challenging. A tutor provides structured, personalised support tailored to their needs.
