Breaking the Myths Around Maths Struggles

We know that maths can feel like a struggle for many children. Sometimes it’s not about ability—it’s about the journey they’ve had. Whether it’s a mismatch in teaching style, a fast-moving classroom, or past gaps in understanding, these challenges can make maths seem intimidating or even impossible.

But here’s the truth: maths is not an insurmountable mountain.

At Why Maths, we specialise in helping children overcome these struggles, one step at a time. Our goal isn’t just to improve their grades—it’s to rebuild their confidence, ignite their curiosity, and show them that maths can be approachable, even enjoyable.


Why Children Struggle with Maths

  1. Lost Foundations: Gaps from earlier years can snowball, making new concepts harder to grasp.
  2. Fast-Paced Learning: In school, there’s little time to pause and revisit tricky topics.
  3. Confidence Crumbles: Struggling often leads to the belief that they’re “not good at maths.”

Our Approach: Breaking the Myths

We believe that every child can succeed in maths with the right support. Our teaching focuses on:

  • Clear, Step-by-Step Explanations: Breaking down even the hardest topics into manageable pieces.
  • Personalised Learning: Tailored lessons to address your child’s unique needs and pace.
  • Building Context and Confidence: Helping children see how and when to apply their knowledge.

We’re not here to overwhelm or rush them—we’re here to empower them.
