  • It's a task that can be accomplished by anyone willing to put in the effort and stay committed. You can do it yourself with books, past papers and with websites like BBC Bitesize Maths and tutorials on YouTube, or join our Multiply course for help with a tutor.

  • Join our Multiply course to brush up your math skills. Be positive about maths. Try not to say things like "I can't do maths" or "I hated maths at school" – your child may start to think like that themselves. Point out the maths in everyday life. Be patient and praise your child for their effort.
