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 Celia Osbourne, Owner of NumberWorks'nWords Surbiton.

The Surbiton 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 and introductory session at NumberWorks'nWords Surbiton and see what you think."

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

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

She added: "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, Osbourne 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.
