Maths builds on four core operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

• Addition combines two or more numbers into a larger sum (5 + 3 = 8).
• Subtracting shows the gap between numbers, such as 15 minus 6 equals 9.
• Multiplication is fast repeated addition, turning 6 groups of 5 into 30.
• Division shares a total evenly or finds how many times one fits into another.

Mastering these four operations lets you solve fractions, decimals, percentages, and algebra.

Without firm foundations in these operations, advancing in maths becomes difficult.

A private maths lesson in St Ives generally runs about $48/h.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• Whether it's junior level (Year 1–6, Year 7–10, Year 11–12, uni)
• The tutor's credentials (registered teacher, subject specialist)
• The arrangement you choose (regular lessons, holiday packages)
• The mode of lessons (online, at home, or at the tutor's place)

Some tutors offer reduced rates for block bookings, which can make it more affordable overall.

Basic maths covers arithmetic, fractions, decimals, percentages, basic shapes, and simple equations.

• Arithmetic means working with whole numbers through addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
• Fractions express values that fall between whole numbers.
• Decimals are another way to write fractions using a point (0.5 equals ½, 0.25 equals ¼).
• Understanding percentages helps with interest rates in practical contexts.
• Learning about 2D shapes and their properties builds spatial reasoning.

These lessons equip you to tackle more complex topics like algebra, trigonometry, and calculus.

Mastering these fundamentals opens the logic of maths at any complexity.
