Your sessions will prioritise the topics that block progress most often: number fluency, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio, algebra foundations, geometry, and problem solving. You will tighten KS3 fundamentals so pupils access lessons with fewer barriers, then move into KS4 exam habits where pupils select a method quickly, show working clearly, and check answers with confidence.

You will keep sessions structured: recap, model, guided practice, independent attempt, then a short check to spot misconceptions early. You will record brief outcomes after each session and share them with the teacher, so targets stay sharp and groups change when pupils secure the skill. Your aim is steady progress, fewer repeated errors, and stronger confidence under timed practice.The Candidate:You bring calm authority and clear explanations. You keep pupils focused, break concepts into small steps, and stick to routines so pupils feel safe to try, improve, and keep going.
