Years 3-6
Support across the full KS2 stage, from fluency to SATs.
1-to-1
Focused lessons built around your child's pace and gaps.
UK aligned
Matched to the primary curriculum and school expectations.
Years 3 to 6
Fluency to reasoning
SATs support
Structured maths teaching for the part of primary school where gaps start to matter.
From times tables and written methods to fractions and reasoning, lessons are built to improve understanding, accuracy, and confidence.
Clear support across the whole primary stage
Support for every stage of KS2 Maths
As children move through KS2, maths becomes broader and more demanding. They are expected not only to calculate correctly, but also to explain their reasoning, solve multi-step problems, and apply maths across a wider range of topics. Our tutoring supports this progression clearly and step by step.
Matched to school learning
Tutoring supports the topics being taught in the UK primary curriculum.
Built around your child's level
Lessons can focus on catching up, reinforcing understanding, or stretching ability.
Preparation with confidence
Support is available for classwork, homework, assessments, and Year 6 SATs.
Core curriculum coverage
What we cover in KS2 Maths
KS2 Maths introduces children to more advanced number work and a wider variety of mathematical ideas. Our tutors help children build secure understanding across the main curriculum areas while improving confidence and accuracy.
01
Number and Place Value
Children learn to read, write, compare, and order larger numbers, understand place value, and work confidently with numbers up to the levels expected in KS2.
02
Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division
We help pupils improve both written and mental methods so they can solve calculations accurately and understand what they are doing.
03
Times Tables and Number Fluency
Strong number fluency is essential in KS2. Tutors support children with recall, speed, and confidence in multiplication facts and related calculations.
04
Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages
This is often one of the biggest challenge areas in KS2. We help children understand how these ideas connect and how to work with them step by step.
05
Measurement
Lessons can cover length, mass, capacity, perimeter, area, time, and converting between units.
06
Geometry
Pupils learn about properties of shapes, angles, symmetry, coordinates, position, and movement.
07
Statistics
Children are taught to read and interpret charts, tables, and graphs, and to answer questions using data.
08
Word Problems and Mathematical Reasoning
A major part of KS2 Maths is applying knowledge in context. We help children interpret questions, choose the right method, and explain their thinking clearly.
Hidden gaps often show up here
Common areas where children need help
Many pupils in KS2 appear to be managing in class but still have hidden gaps in understanding. These gaps often grow over time if they are not addressed. One-to-one tutoring can help identify the exact issue and rebuild confidence from there.
01
Difficulty remembering times tables
Weak recall often slows down confidence in wider calculations.
02
Losing marks in word problems
Children may know the maths but struggle to interpret what the question wants.
03
Struggling with fractions and decimals
These topics often become a barrier if the early steps were not secure.
04
Confusion with written methods
Without understanding the layout and logic, accuracy drops quickly.
05
Low confidence in tests or classwork
Some pupils know more than they show because they hesitate under pressure.
06
Working too slowly under pressure
Speed can become an issue when fluency is not yet secure.
07
Trouble explaining reasoning
KS2 requires pupils to show why their method makes sense, not just give an answer.
08
Gaps from missed learning
Earlier gaps can affect current topics in ways that are not obvious at first.
09
Feeling anxious about maths
Confidence drops fast when topics feel harder than they used to.
10
SATs worries in Year 6
Year 6 pupils often need calm preparation as much as content support.
Our tutors work carefully to identify where the difficulty begins, then teach in a way that helps children understand rather than guess.
Focused and structured lesson flow
What happens in a KS2 Maths lesson?
Each lesson is designed to be focused, supportive, and productive. Tutors work at your child's pace while gradually building independence and confidence with more challenging topics.
01
Review and recap
Lessons often begin by revisiting previous work so children can strengthen memory and build consistency.
02
Clear explanation
The tutor introduces or re-teaches the topic using simple, direct explanations that make the method easier to follow.
03
Worked examples
Children are guided through examples step by step so they can see how to approach the question properly.
04
Independent practice
The pupil then answers questions with support, helping them become more confident and accurate.
05
Correction and feedback
Tutors explain mistakes clearly and show children how to improve, rather than simply moving on.
06
Progress focus
Over time, lessons aim to make children more secure, more efficient, and more confident when solving problems alone.
Support at every primary year
Support across the KS2 years
Year 3
