Perhaps the title is a little strong considering my daughter is only 11. However, she started at secondary school this year and has just been placed in top sets for all the subjects except Maths. I don't want to fall into the trap of becoming a pushy parent but I do understand that if you don't obtain C or above in GCSE English and Maths then it closes a number of doors for you post 16.
Is it to early to start Maths tuition outside of school or best to wait until year nine? She absolutely hates the subject and is not that impressed with her school so I worry that starting tuition now in a subject she despises will make the school experience even worse and lead to a deterioration in other subjects.
Any advice would be greatfully appreciated.
