Every Year Your Child Gets Older And GCSEs Loom Nearer

PH219168 • 29 October 2024

One of the most important things in a child’s life is to have a great education. However, with the passing of time, the population of the UK has increased, while at the same time the number of schools has actually decreased somewhat.

Figures provided by Statista show that in 2010 the number of schools was 32,750 while in 2023 it had dropped to 32,172. At the same time, the population of the UK has increased from 62.77 million in 2010 to 69.13 million today and is expected to reach more than 73 million by 2036 according to the Office for National Statistics.

 

What this means for a child’s education is that classroom sizes are increasing, and this will result in less time for teachers to spend helping children individually when they are having difficulty with learning something. Yet we all want our children to pass their GCSEs so that they can either go on to university or to obtain a good job.

 

This is why more and more people are coming to us at Smart Kids Private Tutoring in order to provide their children with the extra help that they need as they head towards their 16th birthdays. Our GCSE tutors in Oldham will supply the support that every individual child needs.

 

All children are different, and so their needs are different too. Some excel at maths while many hate it. One child, who was home educated, passed his maths GCSE aged 5! Arran Fernandez then went on to start his maths degree at Cambridge age 15 in May 2012 – the youngest student since William Pitt the Younger, aged 14, in 1773!

 

 

Exceptional

 

However, it is fair to say that Arran was exceptional. Most children struggle with maths, as well as English and the sciences. Heck, many adults struggle with maths! But we have to face facts, and that is that as every year passes, those GCSE exams loom ever nearer. 

 

This is where our GCSE tutors in Oldham can help your child by giving him or her that extra boost that is needed and will make all the difference between a Grade 9 and complete failure.

 

This is not schooling in the traditional sense where the teacher instructs a classroom of up to 30 or more. Our tutors will assess your child’s skills and their requirements. They will then prepare a customised programme that will exactly cover your child’s needs based on his or her present situation.

 


This means that your child gets individual attention, together with repetition of coverage of problems, until the light switches on and they finally grasp the subject. Our aim is to continue the 100% success rate that we have achieved with over 9,000 pupils to date for SATs and GCSEs.

Tutoring Matters More Than You Think Maths can feel like a mountain for many kids to climb. At Smart Kids Tutoring in Oldham, we see it differently. It’s a puzzle to solve. A skill to master. Our centre-based maths tutoring in Oldham unlocks benefits that go far beyond better grades. These are the unexpected advantages parents often overlook. Building a Growth Mindset Through Maths Maths isn ’t just about numbers. It’s about thinking differently. This builds a growth mindset. Kids learn to embrace mistakes. They see them as chances to grow. Over time, this mindset spills into other subjects. It even shapes how they handle life’s setbacks. Parents notice their kids become more resilient. They approach problems with confidence. This is a gift that lasts a lifetime. Sharpening Critical Thinking Skills Maths tutoring in Oldham at our centre hones critical thinking. We don’t just teach formulas. We teach kids how to think logically. Our tutors encourage students to question. To analyse. To find patterns. These skills are vital for GCSEs. But they’re even more crucial for real-world challenges. From budgeting to decision-making, critical thinking sets kids up for success. Parents often share how their children start making smarter choices. They see the world more clearly. That’s the power of our approach.  Confidence That Transforms Maths can dent a child’s confidence. A single bad test can make them doubt themselves. Our personalised tutoring changes that. Each student gets a bespoke plan. We start with a free assessment. This pinpoints their strengths and gaps. Then, we craft a programme just for them as they master concepts and their confidence soars. They walk into exams feeling prepared. This newfound belief doesn’t stop at maths. It boosts their performance across subjects. Parents see their kids stand taller. They speak up more. They take on challenges with ease.  Mastering Exams Through Practice Exams can feel daunting. At Smart Kids, we make them manageable. Our 48 weeks of mock exams are a game-changer. These aren’t just practice tests. They mimic real exam conditions. Kids learn to manage time. They get comfortable with the pressure. This builds exam stamina. It reduces anxiety. By the time GCSEs arrive, they’re ready. They know what to expect. Parents love this preparation. It’s not just about passing. It’s about aiming for grades 9-6. That’s our focus. That’s what sets us apart. Life Skills Beyond the Classroom Maths tutoring in Oldham with us isn’t just academic. It’s about life skills. Our distraction-free environment teaches focus.
