Parents often assume their child has mastered basic arithmetic because they get homework answers right. But under test conditions with time pressure, careless errors in addition, subtraction, and times tables account for more lost marks than any "hard" topic.
Fractions and ratio cause the most panic, but they are teachable with the right approach. The truly underestimated skill is reading comprehension in maths: understanding what a multi-step word problem is actually asking. This is where most children lose marks.
Measures and time are often skipped in prep because they seem "easy". But calendar calculations, time intervals, and unit conversions appear frequently and catch children off guard. These topics reward practice far more than intuition.
Our initial diagnostic tests your child across all topic categories to find their starting point and identify gaps.
Daily sessions target the topics where your child needs the most work, not topics they have already mastered.
Topics come back for review at optimal intervals, ensuring your child retains what they have learned.
See exactly which topics are mastered and which need more work. No guesswork.
