"Incredibly engaging. Possibly the best training I have had. "
Teacher
"Paula’s training, support and recommended interventions encouraged our staff to recognise that every child possesses unique mathematical potential. Whilst working alongside our teachers, Paula equipped them with tools and strategies to create engaging and effective mathematics lessons. This not only transformed the practice in our classrooms, but it also fostered a passion for maths in the hearts and minds of our young learners. "
Head teacher
"Paula has always been a hands on teacher/trainer, so while she was training others in how to teach maths, she was doing the job herself. Her training strips back maths teaching to the basics, ensuring children understand the basic concepts using concrete implements to visualise the steps. "
Head teacher
"Paula is an experienced tutor and practitioner in the field of primary mathematics and her training will open your mind to thinking about approaches to teaching mathematics in the primary school. Using a range of practical, research-based approaches she will enthuse both you and the children to the ways of exploring mathematical thinking and problem-solving. Maths with Paula will be both fun and fantastic.
