Returning to maths after time away?
You may be preparing for university, starting a professional course, changing direction in your career or returning to mathematics after a long break. We can work from what you need now and rebuild the foundations that matter.
Start from the goal you have in front of you.
Adult learners return to mathematics for many different reasons. We start with the mathematics relevant to your goal rather than following a fixed revision programme.
Prepare for university
Refresh the mathematics needed before starting or returning to a degree with quantitative requirements.
Meet an entry requirement
Work on the algebra, functions, calculus, statistics or other topics required before a course begins.
Get ready for a new course
Review mathematics before professional training, postgraduate study or a programme that uses quantitative methods.
Rebuild what has faded
Return to fractions, algebra, equations, graphs or other foundations without assuming that you remember everything from school.
Prepare for more quantitative work
Strengthen the mathematics needed before moving into areas such as data, finance, science or technical study.
Study maths because you want to
Work through mathematics in a structured way even when there is no examination or formal course attached to it.
Start with what you are preparing for.
It is fine to say, “I am starting a finance degree next semester” or “I have not done algebra for fifteen years.” From that, we can work out which mathematical skills need attention first.
The aim is to spend time on the parts that are useful for your next step rather than revising everything you once studied.
Useful things to tell me
- What you are preparing for
- When the course or programme starts
- Any stated maths prerequisites
- Roughly when you last studied mathematics
- Any topic you already know you want to review
The content depends on what comes next.
For one learner, the priority may be algebra and graphs. For another, it may be calculus, probability or statistics. We can choose the topics based on the course or goal you are working towards.
Examples
Tell me what you are preparing for.
You do not need to identify the mathematical topic first. Send the course, qualification, career goal or learning goal and we can work out where to start.
