Some Children Are Slower Learners Than Others

PH219168 • 23 July 2024

Schools today are not what they were in the 1950s and 1960s. It seems that many children now get left behind because they haven’t managed to understand something that they were taught in a class, but it seems there is never enough time for the teacher to take them aside and explain and help them.

If this is happening to your child, or children, then they need to have extra tuition in order to bring them up to speed. It is not that they are stupid, but it is a straightforward fact that some children are simply quicker learners than others. The opposite is also true, in that some are slower learners than others.

 

This is why so many parents today are bringing their child to us a Smart Kids – because they want their children to become “smart kids” rather than getting left behind. We provide Oldham academic coaching from teachers who are experts in their field and understand that children are different, as opposed to many schools today where the process is more along the lines of “one size fits all”. The fact is that it doesn’t, and it never will.

 

 

Designed For Each Child


This is why all of our coaching is carried out in a way that is specifically designed for each child and his or her abilities and needs. It is also carried out on a one-to-one basis, so your child has a personal mentor who has an interest in seeing him or her grow and become top of the class. We all want our children to be a success in life, and our Oldham academic coaching is designed to set them off on the right foot.

 

For instance, things such as maths can be confusing to some children. Algebraic fractions and frequency tables are difficult enough for some adults to understand, let alone a youngster. We work by taking each child from easy questions through to more complex ones. This may need to be repeated because the child forgets something, so we return to it and repeat it until one day a light bulb goes off in their head, and suddenly they’ve “got it”!

 

The old saying is “practice makes perfect” and it is true. We also use visual aids such as revision posters to help your child get to where he or she needs to be.

 

If traditional schooling is not serving your child well, then come and talk to us at Smart Kids and let us show you what we can do.

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.

Parents often share how their children start making smarter choices. They see the world more clearly. That’s the power of our approach.

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.
