The summer holidays are well underway, but plenty of parents will already have one eye on the new school year.
For many Stone children, September will mean moving into a new year group. For others, it could bring SATs, GCSEs or another attempt at a subject they found difficult last term.
For families thinking about a little extra help, there are currently two tutoring businesses listed in the A Little Bit of Stone Business Directory.
Maths support for pupils under 16
Mathsbuddy is a local business offering maths tuition for pupils under the age of 16.
It provides online one to one tuition for pupils in and around Stone, alongside small group sessions where children are placed with others working at a similar level.
Mathsbuddy uses iPads during its sessions, including providing them for pupils taking part in group lessons.
Contact details and more information can be found on the Mathsbuddy directory listing.
Tuition from primary school to GCSE
Conexus Tuition Stafford and Stone offers tuition in English, maths and science, with support available from KS1 through to GCSE.
Its Stone sessions take place at Walton Community Centre, where pupils are taught in small groups by qualified teachers.
The business also offers support for SATs and GCSE preparation, with a free trial session available to help families decide whether the group is right for their child.
Contact details and more information can be found on the Conexus Tuition Stafford and Stone directory listing.
Finding the right support
The right tutor will depend on what your child needs.
That might be help with a particular subject, preparation for an exam or simply someone who can help rebuild their confidence before they return to the classroom.
It is also worth thinking about whether your child would be more comfortable learning online, one to one or as part of a small group.
