With school tests and exams over, you may ask if there is any point in getting a bit of extra help on maths and English for your child.

"The simple answer is YES", says Samina Masud, Director of NumberWorks'nWords Ealing.

The Ealing tutor added: "If you feel that your child hasn't really done that well this year, struggles with some areas in maths or literacy and isn't as confident as they should be, there's no time like the present for organising a bit extra to provide a boost.

"Book a free assessment at NumberWorks'nWords Ealing and see what you think."

Mrs Masud says that many parents ask her if it would be better for their children to start tutoring in September.

However, she believes, "The answer is no".

The tutor said: "It's so important to have a good start in September and chances are that expectations will be higher and so your child will need to work harder in next year's class.

"If you feel now that your child needs that bit of extra help, you're probably right! By getting some targeted help now, your child will probably feel a tad more confident after the summer holidays. That will get the whole year off to a really good start."

Speaking about preparing for entrance exams or GCSEs, Mrs Masud said: "Again, there's no time like the present. With the 'work' side of the school day easing up to make way for end of year events and more 'fun' activities it's a great way to push on with the learning.

"At NumberWorks'nWords we can provide an hour or two of challenge per week to help begin preparation for things to come."

If you are interested in tutoring for your child at NumberWorks'nWords Ealing, call the centre at 020 8840 8404 or email [email protected] and have a chat with Mrs Masud about your child's needs.

Your child can then pop along for a free assessment and introductory lesson to find out how the centre can help.

"It's easier and more fun than you would think", says Mrs Masud.
