It has certainly been a great week, here in Diss Maths Tutor Land. Every student this week has been asked if they have had a good day or week at school. Every single one of them has reported that they've enjoyed the beginning of term. Many were worried that the work would be too hard, but it seems that their teachers have been kind. Those who have encountered a new school (Year 7) certainly seem excited about their new experiences and have stated that 'making new friends' has been the highlight of their experience.
It is wonderful to see my students growing in confidence. Some of those Y7s first came for tuition when they were in Y5 and were really struggling with their maths - now they have mastered those 'troublesome' concepts (all reached the required standard in the new SATs this year) and have already started working, with me, on the Key Stage 3 curriculum. They seem completely ready for the challenges of their respective high schools and I am sure they will continue to flourish.
