Maths tutor in Congleton
Hi, I'm Autumn. I teach maths one-to-one to Year 6, KS3 and GCSE students, online from wherever you are, or face to face around Congleton and East Cheshire.
Home-educated? I'm free in the daytime. In school? I'm here after 3.30. Either way it's just you, your child and me, and no question is too small.
Maths help from Year 6 to GCSE.
Year 6
Big school is coming. We'll shore up times tables, fractions and those sneaky word problems, so September feels exciting rather than scary.
02KS3
This is where maths gets weird: algebra, ratio, proper fractions. I'll help your child get over the bump before it turns into "I'm just bad at maths".
03GCSE
Real exam-style questions, marked properly, with straight feedback on what lost the marks and how to win them back. No guessing what to revise.
04Ad hoc help
Homework meltdown? A topic that just won't click? A test next week? Book one session or a handful. No contracts, no block bookings.
Lessons that fit your day.
Home-educating? Daytime works.
Weekday daytimes are for you. I'll fit around what you already do, whether that's plugging a gap, working through a curriculum, or getting ready for GCSE maths as a private candidate. You're the one who knows your child best, so tell me what's working and what isn't.
In school? Come straight after.
After-school sessions run 3.30 to 5pm. Home, a snack, then maths while their brain's still switched on. I'll keep it focused on what they're covering in class, so homework gets easier too.
Why I do this.
I'm a qualified secondary maths teacher. In the classroom I kept seeing the same thing: kids who were perfectly capable but had stopped believing it. Usually there was one wobbly bit from years ago that nobody had time to go back and fix.
One-to-one, I do have time. We go back, find the wobble, and sort it, at whatever pace works. Your child can say "I don't get it" without twenty-nine people watching, and I'll happily explain it a third, fourth or fifth way.
Where I teach.
Most of my lessons happen online. All you need is a laptop or tablet and a decent connection, and we can work together wherever you live.
Prefer to meet in person? I'm based in Congleton and can come to you anywhere within about 15 miles: Sandbach, Biddulph, Macclesfield, Holmes Chapel, Alsager, Kidsgrove and the villages in between. Not sure if you're in range? Just ask.
Questions parents ask.
Do you tutor home-educated children during the day?
Yes, and it's most of my daytime work. Weekdays are open for home-educated students. We can fill gaps, follow the curriculum you already use, or prepare for GCSE maths as a private candidate.
What time are after-school lessons?
3.30 to 5pm on weekdays, so your child can get home, have a snack and start fresh.
Where do you teach?
Mostly online, so wherever you are works. If you'd prefer face to face, I can come to your home within about 15 miles of Congleton, including Sandbach, Biddulph, Macclesfield, Holmes Chapel, Alsager and Kidsgrove.
My child is in Year 6. Is it too early for a tutor?
Not at all. A few sessions before secondary school on fractions, times tables and word problems can make the move up feel a lot less scary.
Can I book just a few sessions?
Yes. Ad hoc sessions are fine for a homework wobble, a topic that won't click or a test coming up. No long-term commitment.
How do I know if my child needs a tutor?
Homework that turns into a battle, grades slipping, "I'm just bad at maths", or a big exam coming up. It's rarely about ability. Usually it's one gap from earlier that nobody had time to fill, and that's very fixable.
Let's have a chat.
Tell me a bit about your child and what's been tricky, and I'll get back to you to arrange a first conversation. No pressure, no obligation.
