EnGage Education EnGage Education is run by Ceri Gage, a teacher with 8 years experience in education. EnGage Education was founded on a love of learning, teaching and maths.

Bespoke, one to one tuition is designed specifically for the needs of your individual child. All children are unique and as such so should their lessons be. Many students arrive with signs of Maths Anxiety, lack confidence and even fear numbers. EnGage Education is passionate about working alongside these children and their families to improve their growth mindset, develop their mathematical skills and eventually this releases their inner mathematician. We also work with children who are sitting their entrance exams or 11+. Again we focus on building the skills in Maths, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal reasoning and English. However, we also teach exam techniques and most importantly, growth mindset. The 11+ can be a stressful and pressured time for children, we ensure that our lessons are fun, creative, interactive and full of personalised content. Tuition time should be seen as an experience, not a chore. Building rapport with our children is the key to success, as this allows us to breakdown the barriers to their learning and help them along on their learning journey. Every journey is different, starting and ending in vastly different places, but, they each include, fun, laughter, learning, growth mindset and new skills.

Friday quick tip.

When adding or subtracting negative numbers, the sign rules kick in (two negatives together become a positive). But when numbers are simply placed next to each other, those same rules don't automatically carry over.

One of the most common mix ups we see at GCSE.

A small update from this week.

One of our teens has been working through his personalised Fab 5s and it's making a real difference, not just in confidence but in how much he's retaining from previous topics.

Little and often really does work.

Behind the scenes at Make Maths Possible this week.

Lesson planning isn't one size fits all, some teens need a completely different method before a topic clicks. Finding that method is a big part of what happens in every session. So lesson planning can sometimes take a little longer, worth the prep to see the results.

Why choose a small maths group instead of 1:1 tuition?

For some students, working alongside a few other teenagers can actually be a really positive experience. They hear other students asking questions, realise they aren't the only person who finds something difficult and get the chance to practise their maths without feeling that every mistake is happening under a microscope.

There is still plenty of individual support too. My Make Maths Possible groups have a maximum of six students, which means I can get to know the students in the group and see where each person needs help.

The aim is to combine good teaching and targeted support with the benefits of learning alongside other students.

For some families, that is a much better fit than 1:1 tuition.

I currently have spaces available for Foundation GCSE maths. If you're wondering whether a small group could work for your teen, send me a message and we can have a chat.

I've helped hundreds of students with maths over the years, so I've seen a lot of different starting points.

The thing I love most isn't actually seeing the final GCSE grade, although I certainly love those messages when results come through.

It's everything that happens before it.

It's seeing a student who used to leave questions blank because they didn't know where to start finally having a go. It's watching someone who was convinced they couldn't do fractions find a method that makes sense to them. It's hearing a student start asking questions instead of quietly giving up when something doesn't make sense.

Those changes matter.

A grade is a snapshot of what happened in an exam. The confidence to have a go, the ability to work through something unfamiliar and the understanding of what to do when you get stuck are skills that can carry much further than one exam paper.

That's a big part of what I want my students to develop.

If your teenager needs GCSE maths support but 1:1 tuition isn't quite right for your family, my Make Maths Possible groups could be worth a look.

The groups are deliberately small, with a maximum of six students, so there is still plenty of opportunity for questions, support and individual attention.

The sessions aren't about sitting on Zoom and working through endless worksheets. We work on understanding the maths, filling gaps, developing problem solving skills and learning how to approach questions when they aren't immediately obvious.

Students also have practice materials, recordings, tutorials, assessments, feedback and revision support alongside the weekly sessions.

I currently have spaces available in my Foundation GCSE groups. If you'd like to know whether the group would suit your teen, send me a message with their year group and a little about how they are currently getting on with maths.

Make Maths Possible is my small group GCSE maths programme for Foundation students who need a bit more support.

The groups are online and deliberately small, with a maximum of six students. We work on understanding the maths, filling gaps, building confidence, tackling unfamiliar questions and developing the skills students need for their GCSE.

There is regular practice alongside the teaching, with assessments, feedback, revision support, recordings and additional resources available too. The aim isn't simply to get through another worksheet each week. I want students to understand what they're doing and become more confident about tackling maths independently.

September is a really useful time to put support in place because there is still plenty of time to find the gaps, work on them properly and build confidence before the pressure of exams really starts to increase.

I currently have spaces available. If your teen is in Year 10 or Year 11 and working towards Foundation GCSE maths, send me a message with a little bit about where they're currently at and I'll let you know honestly whether I think the group would be a good fit.

When a new student starts with me, I don't just want to know their maths grade. I want to know what's happening underneath it.

Can they understand the question? Can they choose a method? Are there gaps from earlier years that are now causing problems? Is the maths itself the issue, or are they struggling to understand the language of the question? Do they know what to do when they see something unfamiliar?

A grade tells me something, but it doesn't tell me everything I need to know.

That's why I spend time finding out where a student is starting from and what is actually getting in their way. Once we understand that, we can work out what needs teaching, what needs practising and what needs building.

That's the approach I take into my Make Maths Possible groups too. They are small enough for me to support individual students, while giving them the opportunity to learn alongside other students who are working towards Foundation GCSE maths.

Why I don't start with a maths past paper!

As the new school year is getting started I've met all my new students and I can't wait to properly get started next week. The most common question I've been asked is "Are we starting with a past paper?"

They don't. Instead we do a detailed gap analysis, we start with giving every GCSE maths topic a confidence colour. Then the following week we go through questions in low confidence group. Questions by question I watch what they do and build a learning plan.

Was there a knowledge gap or trouble getting started? Was it the maths or the wording of the question?

Answering these questions let's us hit the ground running.
