As September approaches and Stone children prepare to move into new year groups, some families are looking into extra tuition to support their learning. Two tutoring businesses are currently listed in the A Little Bit of Stone Business Directory.

Mathsbuddy

Mathsbuddy is a local business offering maths tuition for pupils under the age of 16. The business 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.

Conexus Tuition Stafford and Stone

Conexus Tuition Stafford and Stone offers tuition in English, maths and science, with support available from Key Stage 1 through to GCSE. 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. A free trial session is available to help families decide whether the group is right for their child.

Choosing a tutor

The right tutor depends on what a child needs — whether that is help with a particular subject, preparation for an exam, or rebuilding confidence before returning to the classroom. Families should also consider whether their child would be more comfortable learning online, one-to-one, or as part of a small group.

Contact details and more information for both businesses can be found on their directory listings.
