All new students are interviewed and given a quick assessment so that lessons can be designed with their individual needs in mind. For some, this will include help with basic adding and subtracting, others may only need to brush up on certain topics. Students work in a number of different ways, individually, in pairs and in groups. Students are encouraged to help each, creating a relaxed, supportive environment in which to learn. Students are encouraged to take the Numeracy National Tests at Level 1 and 2. Students are expected to complete about half an hour of homework between the weekly lessons. Typically this will involve practicing the topics covered in the lesson. Awarding Pearson Education Ltd (Formerly EDEXCEL) Created 20170105 14:31:21 Updated 20170105 14:31:21
