GCSE Maths - Level 2

Overview

Looking to improve your GCSE Maths grade, but had a negative experience at school?

At West Notts, it’s not just a teacher stood at the front of the class talking for the whole session. We use relevant and age appropriate resources in interactive sessions that encourages discussion and development of understanding. Questions are supported to ensure misconceptions are addressed throughout the development of your maths skills for everyday life or your career.

We know learning is bespoke, and everyone’s journey is different. This course is for learners aged 19+ only and we make sure to keep the class sizes small and supportive, whilst creating a fun learning environment. To help accommodate the needs of our learners, we often create a hybrid way of working to allow you flexibility to work at college or at home to ensure that attendance remains high. Don’t worry – we don’t give out detentions.
