Supporting semh in GCSE Maths

A steady way to begin

Agree

Choose a task with a clear finish

Start with a suitable question and explain what success would look like. Give the learner a say in the starting point.

Explore

Make mistakes useful information

Look at where the method stopped making sense. Work through that step without treating an error as a judgement about ability.

Return

Try a related example

Use a small variation to check understanding. Finish by recording what is now clearer and what to revisit next.

Keep progress specific

Broad concernA possible learning target
“I never know how to start.”Identify the given information and choose one first step.
“I understand in lessons but forget.”Explain a method, then revisit it with a short practice question.
“A full paper feels too much.”Complete a selected set of questions before building towards longer practice.

Support should fit the learner, not the label

SEMH describes a broad range of needs. Ask about the tutor’s relevant experience and share helpful school strategies where appropriate. Academic tuition is not a substitute for mental health support.

Frequently asked questions

Will the tutor insist on timed tests?

Discuss the purpose and timing of exam practice. A tutor can begin with understanding and participation, then introduce timed work when it supports the agreed goal.

Can lessons help after time away from school?

They can help identify current knowledge and prioritise gaps. The amount and pace of work should be planned realistically alongside the learner’s wider education.

Do I have to explain everything at the introduction?

No. Share what is relevant to safe, useful teaching and what you are comfortable discussing. Ask how the tutor would approach a first lesson and review the fit.
