Another academic year is coming to a close, and our GCSE students are in the middle of their exams. They've been sent individual "Good Luck" messages to help them through.
Although they have still been supported with their maths in these last few weeks, from Friday 20th June, David will have a number of spaces in his timetable.
If your child is struggling with maths, losing confidence with their abilities or just simply wanting to have some help to make specific concepts clearer, then NOW is the time to contact him. (The sooner the better, is my advice.)
Last academic year, David had an enormous uptake of his tutoring right at the beginning of the academic year - normally, the floodgates open after the first set of mocks in November - which is possibly linked to the present Y11s being in Y6/Y7 during the Covid years.
However, the fallout from those 2-3 years continues.
If your child is in Y10 or Y11 in September and needs help, don't leave it to the last few weeks before exams. It puts a huge strain on both pupil and tutor! Get in touch by going to the SJV Tuition webpage, (www.sjvtuition.co.uk) and sending us an email, or a message on Whatsapp. Regular weekly sessions, focusing on those "Covid-gaps" as well as the GCSE curriculum will bring the best results.
Equally, if your child's SATs results were not what they expected, and you'd like them to have a boost, then do it now. Extra support at the beginning of secondary school could be just what they need to get back their confidence.
David works online, or if you live locally, and your child needs personal, face to face support, we have our tutor room at the end of the garden.
And finally, a happy/sad decision for me (Jacqui). I am no longer taking on students- though I will finish the next academic year with my final Y6s - so our husband and wife all-through tutoring service will become dedicated to Maths and Science tuition for children in Y7 and above.
I've loved being a teacher and a tutor for over 4 decades, but it's time to embrace my retirement fully, and leave the hurly-burly to others.
