How Small Group Tutoring Improved Our Grade 7 Maths Marks

Last year a group of six Grade 7 learners joined Pieter van der Merwe for Maths every Tuesday afternoon. Most were scared of fractions and word problems.
By the end of the term, their marks had gone up by an average of twelve percent. Small groups meant nobody got lost in the crowd.
Once a child can ask a question without fear, the marks follow. Pieter van der Merwe, Maths TutorParents also told us that homework fights at home became rarer. We now run more small groups at our Durban North centre.
Why small groups work
With only six learners, the tutor can see who is stuck right away. Each child gets a turn at the board, and mistakes become a normal part of learning.
What parents noticed
Marks improved, but parents mostly spoke about confidence. Learners started finishing homework on their own and asking sharper questions in class. Book a free assessment to see if a group suits your child.

Thank you for this. We have started the weekly routine at home and my son in Grade 7 is already less stressed about homework.

Very useful post. The tips on checking past papers with your child are practical, and we will try them before the June exams. Thank you, Slimkop.

Good, clear advice for parents. I like that it explains things simply and does not make homework time feel like a battle. Well done to the team.
