Why Maths Tutoring Works: What Research Says (and How It Can Help Your Child)

A 2020 study published in the Journal of Educational Psychology found that students who received regular maths tutoring improved their performance significantly more than peers who didn’t especially when tutoring was personalised. 📌 What this means for you: My tutoring sessions are 100% tailored to the student’s learning level and pace. Whether we’re reviewing fundamentals or tackling advanced concepts, progress is tracked, and support is strategic. ✅ 2. Boosted Confidence and Reduced Anxiety Maths anxiety is real—and common. According to a study from the University of Chicago, maths tutoring actually reduced activity in brain regions associated with fear, helping students feel calmer and more in control. 📌 What this means for you: I focus not just on solving problems, but on building confidence. Small wins in each session lead to big breakthroughs in mindset. ✅ 3. Better Problem-Solving Skills Tutoring doesn't just help with formulas—it helps develop critical thinking. A meta-analysis by the Educational Endowment Foundation showed that effective tutoring improves logical reasoning, not just test scores. 📌 What this means for you: I don’t just teach how to solve a problem—I teach why it works. That deeper understanding leads to more independent, capable learners. ✅ 4. Personalised Learning = Faster Progress One-on-one tutoring allows us to identify gaps quickly, focus on strengths, and use methods that actually resonate with the student’s learning style. 📌 What this means for you: No wasted time. Every session is purposeful, efficient, and based on what the student truly needs. ✅ 5. Long-Term Academic Success Students who receive consistent support in maths are more likely to perform well in other STEM subjects, choose advanced courses, and maintain higher self expectations.
