We will use a number of interactive technologies to help gain an understanding of the concepts of mathematics.  Maths games will also be included to help engage students in learning.

We understand maths can be a challenge for many students and that it can induce a lot of anxiety. Emma is a gentle instructor with empathy towards those struggling with maths.

We will go over a lot of examples, and students will have the opportunity to bring their problems to the class, as well as contact the tutor throughout the week with their problems.
