Maths is everywhere! You use it every day when you look at the time, see how much charge your phone has, pay for your shopping, cook dinner or bake a cake, check the weather or follow directions from your maps app.
Here at LECB, we recognise that not everyone loves maths QUITE as much as we do. In fact, many adults feel quite anxious about starting a maths course. Because of this, we offer a variety of ways of learning and aim to build your confidence and maths skills in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
So what do we have on offer?
To help you find the most suitable course, we ask you to take a short initial assessment. It is nothing to worry about, we just it to place you on one of the following:
· Functional Skills: courses for adults that cover basic skills & linking to real-life maths
· GCSE: at both foundation and higher levels
· Core Maths: an exciting new addition this year – a level 3 qualification (similar to AS level) covering useful skills such as financial maths, statistics, spreadsheets and critical analysis.

Did you struggle with maths when you were at school all those years ago?
Was it your least favourite subject with your least favourite teacher?
I can answer yes to all of those questions but working in education for years has made me want to keep learning. You’re never too old and I thought to myself “do I really want to study Maths when I didn’t like it at school?”
Well, I decided that it can’t be anything like it was in my day and believe me it isn’t. I had one shot at learning a topic all those years ago with some writing on the blackboard. My tutor Jude has every resource known to man and she is amazing! She makes the class fun and interesting and I’m liking Maths now. I never thought I would ever say that, and I’m so pleased I’m learning. We have access to so many different methods of learning so there is something there for everyone.
I am also a tutor and teach IT and Maths comes into IT so it’s a bonus for my teaching as well if my maths skills are good.
Why not bite the bullet and give it another go like I am?
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
Sign up now and enjoy learning Maths, we even sing Maths songs!*
*Singing optional 😉
