They're showing up and putting the effort in, but their understanding is just not quite there.
As their parent, you can see their potential, yet deep down they can't quite believe it because something's not clicking for them in class.
They start a question, get stuck, and just stop.
Perhaps you're noticing more and more lately how they talk about maths, or have been seeing those test scores going the wrong way, and you're getting worried because that spark is fading.
You know they're capable.
They used to be fine.
But since the topics got harder, their confidence has taken a hit.
They're not struggling enough for extra support in school and not excelling enough to get noticed.
They're just coasting somewhere in the middle and not quite reaching what they're truly capable of.
Understandably, you're left wondering how long before you both lose motivation, especially concerned when GCSEs may be just around the corner and you don't want to step in too late.
Here's what I want you to know.
It's not that your teen does not care and it's not that they can't do the maths.
It's just that no one is taking the time to actually connect the dots for them or show them a method that makes sense.
I've seen it too many times.
Teacher changes.
Teacher shortages.
Different approaches.
Conflicting methods.
All of which results in your teen losing momentum and second guessing everything and every question.
At the moment you both feel stuck, hoping it'll click, but when will that be?
Whether they're in Year 9, 10, or already in Year 11 counting down to exams, believe me when I tell you that your teen does want to do better and I know you want to help them get there.
They just don't know how to thrive in maths, let alone revise when the time comes for tests.
And up until now, you didn't know how to help them.
But welcome to SUM Club, because this is exactly what it was created for.
A space to take the pressure off parents worrying how to guide their teen through a subject they haven't done in so long. A subject where, over 90% of the time, I'm told it wasn't their strength back in the day. Not to mention the fast paced lifestyle we all live today, you as a parent have more to do than personally reciting how to factorise quadratic equations to help your teen's revision.
Instead, now you've found SUM Club, you can put your feet up knowing that your teen can jump online with me, a qualified and experienced maths tutor who has worked with many teens just like yours and seen significantly more teens passing their GCSE than the national average.
