• What year groups does Mathnasium of Hammersmith work with?

  We work with students from Reception right through to GCSE, spanning every Key Stage from the Early Years Foundation Stage to KS4, across ages 4 to 16. 

  West London brings a real mix of goals: an early foundation in number sense, entry into one of the area's many independent schools or steady progress toward GCSE. 

• What maths topics can your tutors in Hammersmith help with?

  Our instructors work across the full span of primary maths and build up toward the complete GCSE syllabus, covering number, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio, algebra, geometry, probability and statistics along the way. 

  Because each child's personalised learning plan drives the session rather than a set syllabus, a younger child consolidating number bonds and an older student deep in GCSE revision can be working side by side, each on exactly what suits them. 

• How is Mathnasium different from a private tutor?

  Private tutors typically focus on addressing their student's immediate learning needs. 

  Mathnasium of Hammersmith takes a different path, one built around long-term maths mastery while still leaving room for that kind of immediate support. We start by closing existing knowledge gaps, then build new concepts in a considered sequence, so each one rests on solid ground. 

  Every session also sets aside time for a child's schoolwork, helping them stay confident with what they're covering in class. 

  Instructors follow the Mathnasium Method™, our proprietary teaching approach used across more than 1,200 centres worldwide, delivered face-to-face in a caring and fun group environment. 

• How do you teach maths? Which curriculum do you use?

  There's no standard curriculum here. Instructors work from the Mathnasium Method™, a proprietary teaching approach that combines personalised learning plans with proven teaching techniques to help students develop a true understanding of maths.  

  That means mixing mental, verbal, visual, tactile and written teaching techniques according to each child's personalised learning plan, while providing an option to align with what they're covering at school under the National Curriculum. 

• Do you work with children who are ahead or only children who are struggling?

  Mathnasium of Hammersmith works with students of all skill levels, whether they're catching up, keeping up or getting ahead. 

  Students who are ahead can go beyond the school curriculum with enrichment work and preparation for the 7+, 11+ and Common Entrance exams set by the area's independent schools. 

  For children who are finding maths difficult, the personalised learning plan meets them exactly where they are and builds forward at their own pace. Our caring instructors work with them face-to-face, marking every win along the way and helping their confidence grow. 

• Do you prepare children for the 7+ and 11+?

  Independent schools across west London set the 7+ and 11+ and Mathnasium of Hammersmith supports children preparing for both. 

  Starting roughly a year ahead of the exam gives a child time to build numerical reasoning skills properly and work through the range of question types they'll face, rather than cramming at the last minute. 

• Do you prepare children for Common Entrance?

  Common Entrance covers a wide span of primary and early secondary maths and is set by many independent senior schools. 

  Mathnasium of Hammersmith builds a personalised learning plan around the specific school or schools a child is targeting, closing whatever knowledge gaps stand between them and the exam.

• Do you offer GCSE maths tutoring?

  Of course! GCSE support at Mathnasium of Hammersmith runs on a personalised learning plan built from a child's target grade, current performance and the areas that need the most work, covering the complete GCSE maths curriculum across Foundation and Higher tiers. 

• How much does maths tutoring cost at Mathnasium of Hammersmith?

  There's a flat monthly membership fee at Mathnasium of Hammersmith. Most students attend two to three sessions a week, depending on what their personalised learning plan calls for. 

  Following the free diagnostic assessment, we will recommend a session plan tailored to your child's learning needs and goals.

• How can I enrol my child at Mathnasium of Hammersmith?

  Getting started is straightforward: use the Contact Us button on this page or email [email protected]. We'll arrange their free diagnostic assessment first, so we understand exactly where your child's maths stands before anything else. 

  Once that's done, we'll walk you through the results and the personalised learning plan we've built, then answer any questions before their first session.
