How are the kids getting on at school today? Do you know what? I'm so proud of Kit with his reading.

He's actually doing super well in maths, but I feel like both of them need a little bit of extra support.

And that's something that you're really good at doing, right? Yeah, I think for both of them,

having that extra support outside of school hours

has helped with their confidence as well as their scores. But I think most importantly,

their confidence in school and with English and maths, I just think it's vital.

Human supports children of all ages and abilities, whether your child needs an extra challenge

beyond the school curriculum or extra support

to build a strong foundation in English and maths. Their study programmes help boost their confidence,

as George said, improve their skills and develop the mindset they need to succeed. Yet Kuman can also

be a really helpful head start before even starting school. You can introduce your early learners

to all the basics,

even pencil holding exercises, so they can start with a really strong foundation. Now they have

Kuman Connect. Children can complete their Kuman worksheets digitally on a tablet, making learning more

accessible and convenient. With a tablet and stylist, they can can work through their worksheets smoothly and receive

feedback efficiently. Coomon have free registration from the 1st to the 30th of June 2025, where families

new to Coomon can sign up to our maths and English study programmes and waive the registration fee. To find out

more, text Coomont to 60-7 for the UK UK or 5-1-3-7 for Ireland and Start

stigma around men's mental health? Yeah, I think so. It seems like it can still be hard for

blokes to talk about how they're really feeling. There's a pressure to be the strong silent type and to pretend everything's okay.
