S4/ NATIONAL 5/ ADULTS
Confidence Boost and Exam Preparation
National 5 classes develop students’ problem solving and cognitive skills in Maths: to apply concepts and skills in unscripted situations. Students are given a set of past papers and practice papers when they sign up for the National 5 course. These papers are neatly organised and will be used throughout the term.
Skills Boosting and Exam Preparaton
Aligning closely with CfE, lessons will cover all National 5 topics and the learning schedule will be provided at the beginning of each term. Lessons are well planned and will cover each topic in depth. The tutor also explores exam strategies and concepts application for exams.

Lesson Structure
With a well-structured teaching schedule, students in a group will focus on one particular mathematical concept at a time (the Asian Maths teaching technique). Each concept taught is interlinked with the next. This approach allows students to apply previous knowledge in learning new topics.
Students in a small group will explore different mathematical concepts through interactive lessons. Each lesson include: teaching, exploring and practicing.
Teaching
The tutor will normally spend 2 to 3 weeks on each topic. At the beginning of
each class tutors will introduce new mathematical concept using examples. The tutor will provide clear guidance and explain each mathematical concept in depth, using simple and precise mathematics language. Once students have basic understandings,
the tutor will gradually increase the difficulties.
Exploring
Lessons are conducted in an interactive format and tutor will emphasise on logical reasoning, continuously asking students ‘why’ and ‘what if’.
Tutor will explore various questions types to stimulate thinking. Questions of various difficulties will also be explored to develop students’ cognitive skills –
applying concepts/ knowledge in unscripted situations.
The tutor frequently goes through past papers to get students familiar with the wide ranges of questions types. This aims to boost students’ confidence in tackling exam questions.
Practicing
We expect 100% effort from our students while providing a supporting and motivating learning environment. Classwork and homework are provided each lesson. Students are given time to practice the new topic in class. This ensures students can apply what they learnt. Very often students are encouraged to demonstrate and explain answers in class – this further reinforces concepts and boost confidence.
Tutor goes through students’ homework each week to identify weakness and provide customised additional support.
Additional Support
To make sure each student is confident, tutors are happy to answer any questions students might encounter after their weekly lesson.
Occasionally tutors will provide free additional lessons to students who have questions regarding school works.
We aim to offer as much support as possible to students who are willing to learn and thrive!
