Primary Maths Tutoring Prep - Year 6
Struggling With Maths? We Can Help.

When maths feels difficult, simply doing more questions is not always the answer. At ASKON, we identify exactly where your child’s mathematical understanding breaks down and address those areas step by step. We strengthen essential skills such as number knowledge, calculation, fractions, decimals, problem-solving, measurement and mathematical reasoning through clear instruction and targeted practice. Students receive carefully selected resources, individual feedback, regular assessment and extra support to reinforce concepts they find challenging. Our goal is to close learning gaps, strengthen mathematical thinking and build the confidence to tackle increasingly challenging questions independently. We identify learning gaps, strengthen core maths skills and build problem-solving confidence through targeted teaching, practice and individual feedback.

Why Our Maths Program?

 Build stronger foundations. Think with confidence. Solve with purpose

​

🎯 Learning at Your Child’s Level

​

At ASKON, we don’t assume every child is at the same level. We identify where your child is currently performing and begin from there. If your child is working below their current school year level, we strengthen the missing foundations and progressively build their skills towards the expected level.Whether your child is below, at, or above their current school level, we adjust our program accordingly.

  • Students who are behind receive targeted support to close learning gaps and build missing foundations.

  • Students working at their expected level are guided towards stronger accuracy, fluency and confidence.

  • Advanced students are challenged with higher-level reasoning, problem-solving and extension work.

  • Learning progresses at the child’s pace—not simply according to their school year level.

​

​Expertly designed lessons and resources

  • Small-group, personalised learning

  • Regular testing and feedback

  • Weekly lesson summaries for parents

  • Carefully selected worksheets and practice materials

  • Targeted resources based on individual learning needs

  • Revision and consolidation activities

  • Extension materials for advanced learners

  • Additional practice to strengthen areas requiring improvement

📝 Assessment & Progress Tracking

Regular assessments allow us to understand exactly where your child is progressing and where further support is needed.

  • Initial level assessment

  • Regular topic and skills assessments

  • Individual progress monitoring

  • Targeted revision based on assessment results

  • Ongoing feedback to students and parents

🤝 Individual Support & Helping Sessions

When a student finds a concept difficult, we provide additional guidance rather than simply moving on.

Helping sessions, targeted revision and extra practice give students opportunities to revisit challenging concepts, ask questions and develop confidence before progressing further.

👩‍🏫 Personalised Teaching

With small-group classes and individual attention, our teachers can identify learning needs, adjust the level of difficulty and provide personalised feedback.At ASKON, we don’t simply teach the year level. We teach the child.

We identify where they are, build from that point and continuously work towards their next level of achievement.
