The Programme
What every learning programme includes.
Three deliberate stages that turn effort into evidence, and evidence into confidence.
Initial Assessment
A diagnostic session to map your child's current understanding, uncover misconceptions and gauge maths anxiety and self‑concept.
Individual Plan
A bespoke learning plan tied to the curriculum, sequenced to build confidence alongside content — using research informed strategies.
Reports
Regular, plain‑English progress reports so students, parents and referring bodies stay aligned on wins, gaps and next steps.

What "research informed" means in practice
Every strategy has an evidence base. We draw on cognitive science, educational psychology and Maths‑specific research to shape how sessions run.
- A carefully sequenced scheme of work, designed so pupils understand why methods work before they're expected to apply themRelational vs. instrumental understanding (Skemp)
- Worked examples and gradually removed scaffolds, so pupils gain independence without becoming overwhelmedCognitive Load Theory and scaffold fading (Sweller; Renkl)
- A concrete-to-abstract progression, using visual models and clear mathematical language to make abstract ideas easier to understandCPA approach (EEF guidance), rooted in Bruner's work
- Low-pressure questioning and anxiety-aware pacing, so confidence grows alongside mathematical understandingMaths anxiety research (Ashcraft; Dowker)
