Maths tutor recommendations please?

My Y3 child is very behind with her maths, in part because she has long-standing issues with concentration.  I’ve tried to teach her myself, but we probably need professional help.  Can anyone recommend any tutors who might be able to help?  They’d need to be established teachers, preferably with SEN experience.  We’re currently considering Mathsnasium, but aren’t sure if they can guarantee one-to-one tuition.  Thanks in advance for any recommendations, we’re at the end of our tether right now!

Before spending money on a tutor it’s worth asking what is your daughter’s current school doing to help her? Does the school agree  that she is very behind? If it does then the next question is what is being done to support her at school. That’s its job.  If you think that the school is doing everything it can within its own resources and she is still not making adequate progress then you can apply to your local authority for an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment. Quite happy to talk you through all of this if you want to DM me.

I would get in contact with Maryam: m.shoaee@gmail.com. She is great with children, a great teacher, and has a PhD. She is very busy. She helps children out of the love she has for them. My son adores her.

Dear Alison, I am also unable to message you directly. I am an experienced primary teacher with SEN experience. Thanks, Kate
