growup   10 #13 Posted November 18, 2016 I would say 8 is a bit young for private tuition as kids develop at different levels. If you make him do extra lessons now he may start hating the subjects. I've seen kids who have been perceived as falling behind in primary who have excelled in GCSE as they learn focus as they get older. Kids need to be kids sometimes. You could try getting some games (or making them up) that involve him practising maths and English skills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

growup   10 #17 Posted November 19, 2016 That's a bit of an odd sentence. You've contradicted your own logic?!  It probably should have said rates. I have known lots of children both personally and professionally that have struggled academically in primary school but excelled later on in life when they have matured and are able to focus more. I have also seen many cases where making young children study when they don't want to can make them hate the subject (obviously as children get older then sometimes they need to study more to ensure they stay on track but I would say this should start in secondary school).

Queenie30   10 #20 Posted November 23, 2016 Dont go to explore learning in SAinsburys my daughter went for a year £119 a mth and its crap they just stick them in front of a pc the whole time  Kip Mcgrath is great, my daughter has come on leaps, it has recently moved to London Road, there is one on eccy road too, good staff and way more attentive than Explore and no 8 is not too young, its never too young to help your kids, but I recommend learning in a fun environment rather than 1 on 1 learning at that age.
