It could be you!

Angela’s story

I enrolled on the GCSE Maths course last September with more than a little trepidation!  Those fears, however, were soon allayed by a very gentle introduction to what was to become a hugely rewarding experience.
Being used to the traditional ‘chalk and talk’ method of classroom based teaching, a whole new world opened up to me via the digital environment.  No more pen and paper calculations, Google Classroom became the norm.  Eratosthenes, Fibonacci and Venn all entered my vocabulary!  Inches, pints and ounces were replaced by centimetres, litres and grams!  I even learned how to use a scientific calculator as part of the course!
Helen is a fantastic teacher, with oodles of patience and a clever knack of pitching the work to suit all learners.  And, when the going gets tough, she’s there offering support and guidance in abundance.  The lessons are broken down into manageable chunks and, along with her colleagues, Helen works hard to ensure that her students are given ample opportunity to understand and embed their learning.
I would highly recommend the course to anyone wishing to improve their mathematical skills.  Be brave and enrol!
