A Wimbledon student who once struggled with maths confidence has made remarkable progress after receiving personalised support from Mathnasium Wimbledon.
Mathnasium, a leader in maths-only education with learning centres across the UK, including in Wimbledon, has helped 11-year-old Agatha develop her confidence and attainment in maths over the past two years.
Eden Watling, assistant centre manager at Mathnasium Wimbledon, said: “Agatha joined Mathnasium Wimbledon in 2024. Since starting middle school, like many pupils, she had begun to find maths increasingly difficult, particularly fractions, pie charts and percentages.
“When she started with us, Agatha was working at a Year 3 Level; in only two years, she has now progressed to working at a Year 7 Level which is an incredible achievement.
“We worked with Agatha to create a tailored learning plan designed to identify and close gaps in her knowledge. Agatha then attended flexible sessions and received personalised tuition to suit her individual needs.”
Agatha’s mum Kit, explained: “We chose Mathnasium as the timings are flexible around school and clubs at weekends. They ran an 11+ power hour programme ahead of secondary school exams. It’s 121 tutoring but at a time that works for you from week to week and the ability to either stop in the holidays or have an intensive blitz.
“Agatha has really enjoyed Mathnasium. She’s grown in confidence in her ability to tackle difficult questions using a more robust foundation of mathematical knowledge. It’s reinforced her learning at school and has given her a place where she can ask if she doesn’t understand and there are tutors who help until she’s mastered the skill. Her arithmetic is excellent too. Above all, she enjoys going to Mathnasium, both to learn and see her friends.
“Over two years, Mathnasium helped Agatha to build confidence and skill in Maths, giving her a firm foundation for secondary school. The reward system was an excellent motivator, the centre made the sessions fun, achievable and accessible, and she’s made lovely friends along the way.”
Eden Watling continued: “Agatha’s story is a wonderful example of what can happen when a child begins to truly understand maths. We often see that confidence grows alongside ability, and that can have a positive impact across all areas of school life.
“When students understand maths, they gain more than skills, they gain confidence. The summer is the perfect time to get ahead and set the stage for September’s new term and a successful year.”
