Overview

Students are free to ask any question no matter how big, small or obvious! The goal for struggling students is to provide a mentoring environment enabling students to believe in themselves and their ability to succeed. The goal for competent students looking to advance their grades is one of exposing them to more advanced work, challenge them with problem solving and show the application of maths in the real world.
