Testimonials

I didn't receive the support I needed in school to succeed in Maths as I struggled in the subject as I have dyscalculia and dyslexia. My confidence has improved greatly, and I am noticing that my maths in general has improved.

The tutors and staff are all there just to help you succeed, and they want you to do well. It's like having your own cheering squad for your maths!

The key to excellent sewing output is being precise with your sizes, so a good understanding of numbers is paramount. I have thoroughly enjoyed the course; the tutor was excellent and I really enjoyed the camaraderie of learning with others as a group.

The sewing machine my husband bought me many years ago may finally get used thanks to the sewing and numeracy skills I have developed on this course.

I needed help to organise cookery courses for our clients. We have people struggling now and the foodbank is crucial to support them. In our case, you are not just learning numeracy, you are learning how to talk with other people.

If you have to work in groups, you are learning how to talk in a group. The tutor was great and very helpful. She was easy going, and for those who needed the help, she was especially patient.

There's a range of courses which Multiply gives that can often be tweaked. I know one of the things I mentioned was about including some weekly and monthly budgeting courses, so things can be added in and the tutor has been incredibly helpful.

It has been one of the more beneficial parts of what we've done here, because you can have a base course and then customise it a little bit to what you actually need.

I’ve not always been comfortable with maths. My experience with work has helped me with that, but the tutors on these courses fully understand our capabilities and are more than willing to help us. They’re just perfect tutors who care about the way you get on with the courses.

Multiply is definitely the place to come because they understand that not everyone can do maths and it is good for me because it can help your kids as well. Well, grandchildren in my case!

We support a wide-range of learners here at Co-Options and everyone’s numeracy ability is different. However, Multiply is able to adapt sessions for all learners and we’ve seen a big increase in confidence and capability amongst all learners. One of the most important things is that all Multiply sessions have been fun and engaging.

The fact that learners can now add Multiply courses to their CV and take certificates to job interviews is fantastic and it really boosts their prospects in the working world.

During my experience, I have gained the skill of being able to weld alongside using numbers, and learned that I enjoyed it and found a new skill that I was good at. The tutor was very kind and good at explaining what to do.

I was able to be creative and practise different techniques of welding. I definitely think more people should be aware of the Multiply courses and take advantage of them. You never know, it might turn out to be something you will enjoy through the use of numeracy.

I thought that the one-on-one lessons were really helpful for learning things quite quickly and having a more dedicated, curated course which let me really sink my teeth into it. I can say I'm quite happy about my grade, I think Multiply really gave me the help I needed to get this result under my belt.

I've been through a lot of different sorts of courses during this period of my life and I found that a lot of them didn't work out as well for me, but Multiply was able to keep me going until the end and keep me motivated.
