A little info about this class...
For children who know the basics and are working towards GCSE Maths. A natural progression from our “Maths – Stress = Happy” class and an introduction into GCSE level work.
This course will provide a solid base for students hoping to complete their GCSE. This is the opportunity to ensure that children have a solid understanding of all the basic mathematical concepts so that they are ready to progress onto the GCSE course. This course introduces and covers the lower levels of GCSE work so is ideal for those that are not quite at GCSE level.
This course is suitable as a stand-alone course but can also be taken in addition to our Maths-Stress = Happy for those children who are still benefiting from Maths – Stress = Happy but are ready to be stretched a little further. Likewise this course is suitable to be taken in addition to our GCSE Maths course for students who are ready to prepare for GCSE Maths but need some extra support and practice.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CLASS IS REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK BECAUSE OF IT’S POPULARITY WITH THE SAME CONTENT AND PLACES ARE LIMITED. PLEASE ONLY SIGN UP FOR ONE OF THE SESSIONS PER WEEK AS WE ARE UNABLE TO GIVE REFUNDS IF YOU SIGN UP FOR MORE THAN ONE SESSION, AS THAT STOPS SOMEONE ELSE FROM HAVING THE OPTION OF A PLACE.
For safeguarding purposes, each Zoom lesson includes a brief registration at the beginning which requires children to have their webcam switched on. If your child would like to join lessons but is anxious about this or needs to have their face covered during lessons for religious or any other reason please get in touch, and we can arrange an alternate method of registration for them.
