I’m pleasantly surprised how much I’m enjoying learning maths. Having been out of education for many years and had previously had no motivation or desire to improve my maths skills, I’m enjoying every minute! It’s such a wonderful feeling to finally understand things that for years I never had.

You will attend one online session each week for up to 18 weeks. The sessions will be 60 minutes on Google Classroom or similar and will be in a small group. Sessions will also be recorded so you can watch them again in your own time and request 1-2-1 support if needed.
