  • I have just finished the Maths for Life Course – a little matter of Ofsted visiting and selecting one of my children to analyse has meant I got slightly delayed! I love the concepts and know so many children this could benefit. This is really a great programme and I think I can see this working so well with the settings I work with.

  • This course was amazing; I think it should be in every school.

  • UThe content on Time and Money was also excellent, I will look out for your sessions on both of those...'never assume' is SO true. People are understandably keen to tick off progress charts but then wonder why concepts aren't grasped further along; it's usually as a result of thinking the child understands a concept when they really don't.

  • I have just completed this course. Thank you so much. It really explains why our children have challenges with maths and I can relate a lot of this to my own daughter. She has just turned fourteen and has been in mainstream school. She loves the Maths For Life workbooks. She is working mostly independently on the level one books. Maths For Life has been a god send for me as I recently started to partly home school my daughter, and I have a lot of confidence in this approach.
