Perhaps they’re showing up. Putting in the effort. Wanting to do well. Or maybe they're not just there, yet, but you want them to be and deep down they know they can be.
You've noticed something isn't clicking.
They'll attempt a question, get stuck, and that's it. Game over.
You've even noticed it in the way they talk about maths now.
That spark that used to be there, it's dimmed, or maybe it's been missing for longer than you'd like to admit.
You know they're capable. They used to be ok. But you've noticed their confidence has taken a hit since moving through to the harder topics.
They're not struggling enough to get extra help in school.
But not excelling enough to get attention.
They're just there, in the middle, getting by and not reaching their potential.
Leaving you left worrying that the longer this goes on, the harder it becomes for you both to stay motivated without the battles.
Here's the thing that I want to tell you, it's not because your teen doesn't care.
It's just no one's ever spent the time to connect the dots in maths, to show them a method that actually makes sense.
I've seen it far too many times with the teens I have supported - too many teacher changes, too many different approaches, too many options that lead to nowhere.
Which only results in your teen losing momentum and second guessing everything.
And as their parent you hope it will all fall into place.
But when? And will it be too late?
Whether they are in Year 9, Year 10, or already in Year 11 counting down to exams, one thing's clear, they want to improve and you want to help them get there.
They just don't know how to thrive in maths, and you didn't know how to help them.
Until now, as SUM Club was built on exactly these struggles.
