The Unicornmaths Studio is run by Sarah Wedderburn and four qualified Special Needs teachers, resulting in a high level of learning support and mathematical expertise. Pupils with maths difficulties are taught on a one-to-one basis so that lessons are tailor made for the individual child. Tutors work to boost their pupils’ confidence and extend their knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of maths.
The Unicornmaths Studio is based at 87 Howards Lane, Putney, London SW15.
Hourly sessions run from 8.00–10.00 am and 4.00–7.00pm and cater for children from Key Stage 1 to Foundation Tier GCSE.
