Local students have improved maths confidence while being supported to achieve maths success, ahead of their summer exams.
Mathnasium is a leader in maths-only education, dedicated to teaching children in a way that makes sense to them. Students attending centres are continually assessed after completing their personalised core learning plan. At Mathnasium in Winchester, scores have increased on average by 34% in this like-for-like assessment in the past six months, with some students achieving more than double this level of progress.
Of the GCSE students who completed both assessments, the majority showed improvement in their average scores, with some students making particularly strong gains of up to 13 percentage points.
James Kirk, Centre Director, Mathnasium of Winchester, confirmed: “We know that in the UK, more than a quarter (26%) of Y6 pupils for example, do not meet the expected standard in maths (2025). Therefore, increasingly, parents are seeking structured, confidence-building approaches to support their children’s maths learning beyond the classroom. With more than 1,200 centres worldwide and an expanding network, Mathnasium now successfully works with 4,300 students in the UK. In 2025, 82% of students across our network met or improved on their predicted GCSE grade. While our students’ results speak for themselves, this time of year it’s all about consolidating knowledge and improving maths confidence to ensure students are ready and prepared for their summer exams, as this can be just as important as academic results.”
Instructors use a proprietary teaching approach that combines personalised learning plans with mental, verbal, visual, tactile, and written techniques to build maths knowledge level by level. Tailored instruction that meets their unique needs and learning styles, and it’s fun.
Historic data demonstrated that 94% of parents reported improvement in the maths skills of their children following attendance at Mathnasium centres, and 93% reported improved attitude towards maths following Mathnasium support.
Mathnasium also regularly surveys UK parents, with 88% rating their experience 9 or 10 out of 10 and saying they would recommend the centres to friends or family.
James Kirk continues: “At Mathnasium Winchester, we meet every student exactly where they are. No judgment, no pressure. Some of our proudest moments have come from students who always thought they were just not a maths person, and then watching that belief completely turn around. When a child starts to feel capable in maths, it unlocks everything else. We have seen students make remarkable progress in a short space of time, simply because we built their programme around them and let them move at their own pace. Seeing progress happen in front of you is incredible, and it makes the work genuinely rewarding for the whole team. Summer exams can be a challenging period for any student. By supporting children and building their confidence in maths, their overall academic performance and broader problem-solving skills can also be strengthened, helping them approach exams with greater confidence.”
