Our daughter lacked self belief and confidence with Maths at school. We felt that she would benefit from private tuition. She attended Mathmapics for two years, and whilst working in a small group lead by Peter Gruitt, her confidence increased rapidly. Peter uses methods that children understand,grasp quickly and retain. She now has the knowledge and confidence to tackle complex Maths questions. This has lead to her passing The Kent Test and progressing to the top Maths group at school. I know that all our daughter has learn't at Mathmapics will stand her in good stead for the transition to Secondary School.

Peter was recommended by a friend as my daughter needed some support, particularly in Maths, for her 11+. We were really impressed by Peter's friendly but professional approach. We loved the fact that the children were taught in small groups and felt that the fees were reasonable. From her first session we could see her confidence growing, particularly in Maths. She was taught great tips that we only wish she'd been taught sooner. We are thrilled to say she passed and her score was impressive. We have no doubt that Peter helped towards the score she got and would highly recommend him.

Our daughter lacked confidence and self belief when it came to Maths at school. We felt she would benefit from extra help and decided to send her for some extra tuition. The two years she spent in a small group receiving help from Peter Gruitt has been really worthwhile. Her knowledge,understanding and confidence with Maths is now excellent and she is now adept at tackling complex questions. This has lead to her passing The Kent Test comfortably and progressing to the top maths group at school. Peter uses methods that children understand,grasp quickly and retain. We have no doubt that all she learn't during her time at Mathmapics will be useful as she makes the transition to secondary school.

This was a great way for my daughter to be tutored. The atmosphere created was always supportive, fun and encouraging. Peter Gruitt the tutor was also very approachable and a great calming influence on a parent who finds maths stressful to explain!I can't recommend Peter Gruitt's tuition enough and now have another child on their way to grammar school as a result of attending Mathmapics.

Myself and my husband had always considered our 9 year old daughter to be a bright and capable student yet when it came to mathematics she struggled. Whilst she comprehended the basics of maths, she failed to grasp the nettle of methods that were being taught to her and became easily confused and frustrated. She lacked so much confidence that she became reluctant to participate in the classroom for fear that she would give the wrong answer. She did not like maths!.

Both her teachers and we her parents felt as thought this was impeding her chances of passing the 11+ exam. A grammar school was her preferred choice and she was certainly more than capable of handling the workload apart form the maths. We all felt she would benefit from having private tuition. Some of the parents at the school recommended Peter Gruitt to us as they themselves had seen the positive impact his teaching had upon their children. We employed Peter’s services in October 2011.

Our daughter started Maths tuition in Sept 11 having languished in the bottom Maths set at school and with complete lack of confidence. To begin with she was a nervous wreck convinced she would never be any good at Maths. With Peter's excellent skills he has managed in 6 months to completely turn around her ability and she has leap-frogged into top set Maths and now has confidence that she can succeed! She is determined to sit the Kent Test in September, something she would not even have contemplated last year. We cannot thank Peter enough for his constant encouragement and the belief in not only our daughter but in all the children he teaches.

Peter is a superb tutor and we highly recommend his services. He is very professional and his teaching methods are innovative and thorough. Our son really looked forward to his weekly sessions and came out "buzzing" having had fun, been challenged and achieved. We are delighted with our son's Kent test results and his improved maths skills which will stand him in good stead for Grammar school next year.

Peter Gruitt is an exceptional teacher. He inspires and motivates children in mathematics.
My oldest son was tutored by Peter to improve his SAT results in Year 6. He was awarded the Highest Attainment Award for his year group.
My younger son has just finished a year of tutition with Peter for 11+ preparation and I am delighted to say that he passed.
I would highly recommend Peters services. Peter has been a great source of support for my family.

My daughter started with Peter in Year 5 for 11+ tutoring. She was considered to be more borderline by her school but had always had good reports at school about her work, so I was slightly dismayed by the school's approach. She achieved a pass and some very good scores, even getting the highest score on one of the papers out of the group of children that sat the test with at her school. Peter is a fantastic tutor and I would recommend him to any child that needs assistance. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her tutoring and misses not going there. I always struggled with maths at school but I actually understand it alot more now!

We were told by my son's teachers around the end of June 2011 that he probably would not be suitable for a grammar school place, although we thought it only fair that he should have a chance to pass the Kent Test. I enlisted Peter's help and you could see the improvement week by week in my son's ability. Peter showed him different methods of doing maths which really clicked with him and his confidence grew. By the end of the summer 2011, just a matter of weeks, I really felt that my son could achieve in September what we were told was impossible. The Kent Test results were given out yesterday and we were delighted when my son passed! Peter has a real talent for teaching and finding ways for each individual child to reach their full potential. Thank you so much Peter.

Following in his sister's footsteps, my son has been attending Peter's classes since November 2010. Like his sister he has sailed through the 11+. He thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and NEVER once complained about completing the homeowork!

Fabulous...Our son (who suffers with dyspraxia) was really struggling with his numeracy. Peter tutored him through year 6, introducing him to new methods which gave him the skills and confidence to gain excellent results in his SATs. We are so impressed and cannot thank Peter enough. He has been an inspiration and we will definately be using him again in the future. Thank you so much.

Peter tutored our son through year 5 and 6 of his primary school. My son suffers with dyspraxia and had problems ordering his maths and getting to grips with anything to do with his numeracy. Peter showed him different methods to use, and built his confidence. He excelled beyond all expectations in his SATs and we couldn't be happier. Peter is a genius - thank you so much, we would highly recommend him.

At the end of year 7 I was really disappointed to be moved down a set in maths. I joined a class with Peter for secondary school children who want to improve and it was great. Peter helped me to understand subjects I was having trouble with at school and I really enjoyed learning. In my year 8 exams I came top in my set and am going to move up in year 9. Thank you Peter!

Peter Tutored my daughter for a year in preperation for her 11+ and, wow, what a fantastic job Peter did. My daughters confidence grew and she passed her 11+ with flying colours, only dropping two questions! Peter explains and teaches maths in a way schools don't and children seem to be able to pick up and learn an amazing amount with amazing confidence. I had Peter recommended to me by another parent and would not hesitate in recommendeding him myself (I have to many already).
Thanks Peter
