VERITY LEARNING
KS3 maths tutoring
Clear explanations, focused practice and feedback matched to the school course.
Who this is for
Students in Years 7–9 who are unsure of foundations, finding current topics difficult or ready for carefully chosen extension.
What can make the subject difficult
A gap in earlier learning can make a new task feel much harder. Sometimes the knowledge is present but question reading, timing or explanation gets in the way. We use recent school work and short checks to separate these needs rather than treating every mistake as the same problem.
Skills we work on
- Number fluency: fractions, decimals, percentages and negative numbers.
- Algebra readiness: notation, substitution and simple equations.
- Ratio and proportional thinking through concrete examples.
- Geometry: diagrams, angles, measurement and clear reasoning.
- Data and probability: reading information and discussing conclusions.
Course and exam-board fit
KS3 follows the school’s sequence rather than a GCSE exam tier. Bring a recent topic list, exercise book or teacher feedback. We connect support to the current work while revisiting missing prerequisites.
What a lesson looks like
Begin with a focused question or discussion. The tutor models one useful approach and explains why it works. The student tries a related task, talks through the decisions and receives feedback. The lesson ends with a manageable independent practice task and an agreed next step.
Making progress visible
We record the topic, the success criterion and how much support was needed. Correct work with prompts is useful, but it is different from doing the task independently. Later practice revisits the skill to check retention and application. Reports describe observed evidence rather than predict an exam grade.

Questions parents ask
Will my child only practise basic questions?
No. We secure the prerequisite skills and then apply them in varied situations. Extension is chosen for depth of understanding rather than simply racing ahead.
How often should lessons happen?
Frequency depends on the starting point, assessment window, workload and practice between lessons. We discuss a realistic schedule during the consultation.
What does tutoring cost?
Tutoring is £30 per hour. Confirm the duration and written cancellation information before you book.
