Harrogate Tutors offers QTS Maths tuition to help prospective teachers with their preparation for their Professional Skills Test, also called the QTS or numeracy skills test. The numeracy skills maths test is necessary to gain qualified teacher status. We have also partnered with one of the countries leading resource websites, QTS Maths Tutor, to give our students access to a free numeracy skills test as well as an entire testing platform that has interactive numeracy skills tests that are in a similar style to the real exam and will help you to get numeracy ready. Other providers of professional numeracy skills tests such as G and A Numerical simply don't offer what is required to help prospective teachers effectively prepare for their numeracy skills test and help to get their numeracy ready for the exam. 

 

The exams consist of material set to a similar difficulty level as GCSE's. From experience we find that people often struggle with the timing aspect of the Maths QTS exam; therefore this is one of the areas that our tutors focus on to help our students overcome the timing difficulties. Additionally our tutors help with the exam technique, which is very important when answering the mental Maths questions as these require efficient methods of working in order to formulate an answer within the time limit set for each question. 

 

Out of all three exams it is the QTS Maths exam we get the most tuition requests for. This is down to the timing aspect of the exam but also the fact that many people of all abilities are often rusty when it comes to Mathematical methods for percentages, decimals, long division and even simple multiplication. This is because many people are not regularly using these techniques on a daily basis. Our Harrogate QTS Maths tutors have found that many of our students are able to calculate and complete the questions but are using methods that are either too slow or increase the chances of silly mistakes. This is all down to method and exam technique which is what our QTS Maths tuition sets out to master giving people the confidence to go into the final exam and naturally use the fastest methods, minimising errors. We also have a selection of practise QTS Maths tests which are always an indicator of success rate. If a student passes three consecutive QTS Maths style practise tests by more than 5 marks they nearly always go on to pass the actual numeracy skills test at the first attempt.

 

Many people leave it until their third attempt to then look to seek help in the form of a QTS Maths Tutor. Although this is understandable it then puts a lot of pressure on the final test. If you are concerned about the Maths aspect of the numeracy skills test then Contact Harrogate Tutors and we will be happy to discuss what input you may find useful.
