My DD is going into year 2, for year 3 onwards she is (hopefully) going to go private.
Her literacy, writing, reading is excellent, well above average so I have no concerns there, but I have serious concerns about her maths.
She is probably somewhere just below or around average, but really panics and struggles with simple concepts and doesn't seem to be able to retain the information and strategies that she needs to complete simple sums
I feel like this is crazy, but I'm really wondering if I need to look for a tutor for her this year, as surely starting year 3 at the private school still behind would be very hard for her?
Seems mad to be considering tutoring for a 6 year old but I know it's bothering her and she seems to be losing confidence and interest in maths very rapidly
Where do I even go about getting a tutor for a child so young?!
Am I worrying about nothing? Will the private school (a good and rather competitive academic one) even take her and if they do will they "sort her out" or will that be too late?
