Frequently asked questions

What ages and levels of maths do you teach?

My team and I provide personalised tutoring for students of all ages, from primary school to high school, covering everything from foundational maths skills to advanced levels like GCSEs, A-Levels, and international curricula. Whether your child is starting their maths journey or preparing for important exams, my team and I tailor each session to their unique needs. With fluency in multiple languages, we’re well-equipped to support students from diverse backgrounds and help them excel.

How are the online lessons conducted?

Online lessons are conducted via Zoom, providing a highly interactive and effective learning experience. My team and I use features like real-time document sharing and collaborative problem-solving to ensure sessions are engaging and productive. Many families have found that this approach not only matches but often exceeds the results of in-person lessons, offering the convenience of learning from home without compromising on quality.

How do you tailor your lessons to a child's specific needs?

We start by getting to know both you and your child through a personalised assessment, including conversations to understand their strengths, challenges, and personality. This helps us create tailored lesson plans that match their unique needs and learning style. Our approach is dynamic and adaptive, we ensure that your child feels supported, engaged, and confident as they progress.

What qualifications do you have?

I hold a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Mathematics, as well as a PGCE with a specialisation in dyscalculia. Every tutor on my team has been carefully selected and personally trained by me, ensuring they not only hold degrees from prestigious universities but also embody our commitment to excellence. Together, we bring a wealth of expertise, dedication, and a passion for teaching to provide the highest standard of personalised support for every student.

What makes your teaching methods different from regular maths classes?

Our team at Capable Minds Mathematics uses creative, real-life examples combined with elements like music, art, and storytelling to make maths engaging and relatable. We adapt our methods to each student's personality and unique learning style, ensuring that even the most complex concepts are understood in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.

How do you keep parents informed about their child's progress, homework, and test preparation?

We believe in open communication to support your child’s progress. Our team shares regular updates via WhatsApp or email, including progress, achievements, and focus areas. We assign weekly homework and provide extra support before tests to ensure confidence and readiness. If you ever have questions or concerns, we’re always available for a call.

My child feels overwhelmed and stressed about maths, what can I do about that?

I completely understand how overwhelming maths can feel, especially with all the tests and pressure. That’s why we approach teaching with kindness, patience, and empathy, ensuring your child feels supported and understood every step of the way. By breaking concepts down and helping them truly understand the material, maths becomes more tangible and less intimidating. We use humour and encouragement to create a positive, stress-free learning environment where confidence can grow.

Can you accommodate our busy schedule?

Absolutely! My team and I understand how hectic life can be, and we’re committed to accommodating your family’s schedule as best we can. Whether it’s early mornings, late evenings, or weekends, we’ll find a time that works for you. During exam periods, we go the extra mile by offering additional lessons and homework to ensure your child feels confident and prepared. Your convenience and flexibility are our top priorities.
