How do Sam's small-group SEAG classes in Bangor work?
Answered by Sam Stirling, former P7 teacher · Last checked: 30 October 2026
The short answer
Groups of four children, one hour a week, in Bangor, from January of P6 through to the test in November of P7. Each session is £25, and the practice, videos and passports my own pupils use in between are all included.
Why four
Small enough to get round everybody, big enough not to feel intense. Four is the number where I get round everybody several times, reading the working while it is happening rather than marking it afterwards. A child who sees three others pause at the same question stops thinking it is only them. That does more for confidence than anything I can say.
What a week looks like
- The session: one hour, four children, new material taught and last week's mistakes gone back over.
- Ten a day at home: ten questions a day, five English then five maths, about ten minutes.
- The passport: scores turn into a list of the exact skills to work on, with a worked video for every question they got wrong. You see it too.
When
Groups start in January of P6 and run to the end of the SEAG assessments in November. Sessions for 2027:
- Monday, Wednesday and Friday: 4:05 and 5:10
- Tuesday: 4:05, 5:10 and 6:15
- Sunday: 9:00, 10:05 and 11:10
Cost
£25 a session. There's nothing else to buy: bring a pencil and the folder.
