Welcome to Multiply
We run a variety of courses to support students who want help with maths. You could be:
- looking to help a child with their maths homework;
- trying to improve your maths to help with money and budgeting;
- coming from overseas and needing a UK qualification;
- wanting to overcome maths anxiety, dyscalculia or other maths difficulty.
Or, you might just be wanting to take the first steps having struggled with maths all your life.
Looking to take the first steps
If you’ve ever struggled with maths, or want to improve your confidence for life and work, then we have courses for you.
Some of these courses run in college, some are available online, but most involve us bringing our specialist and supportive teachers out to community centres, schools and libraries.
All these courses are free to London residents who do not have the basic UK maths qualifications that most employers require.
If you have any questions please contact Peter Whitehead at peterw@wmcollege.ac.uk.
Friendly and supportive staff
Our team of teachers are very experienced in supporting people who have struggled with maths in the past, or where school didn’t work out for you.
Everyone has the capacity to improve their maths skills for work and day-to-day life and we can help you to do that with a range of courses that will get you looking at maths in a fun and different way.
We fully understand that the very idea of maths can make people feel anxious and frustrated. We’re here to help you overcome those worries and feel empowered as you build confidence in your maths skills.
Small Groups
We work in the community with small groups of students so you will have plenty of time with your teacher, who will listen to the experiences you’ve had with maths in the past.
Everyone struggles with maths at some time or another, so whatever it is you want to improve on, there will be lots of other people in the same situation. Our experience shows that taking time to share these experiences with others is the first step to changing your relationship with maths.
Short Courses
You don’t need to sign up to a long course and you don’t need to worry that you’ll be doing exams.
Our first steps courses run for just a couple of hours for a few weeks to help you get going.
Courses for families, parents and carers
Parents and Carers
Have you ever struggled to understand your child’s homework?
Have you ever wanted to help with your child’s homework but maths is “different” now?
