English & Maths

Learning that fits into your life

Vicky & Sonia, English & Maths Team, ACL Essex

“There are so many reasons why someone would enrol on an English and maths course. Whether you’re looking to help your children with homework, strengthen your ability to put forward a well written argument, or gain the confidence to write and present a speech at your daughter’s wedding (yes, this is a real example from one of our past learners) our courses and tutors are here to support you.”

Stephanie’s Story

One of our very own tutors, Stephanie, began her journey at ACL by passing her maths GCSE. She then went on to complete her teacher training before coming back to ACL to help others who were in a similar situation to her.

“The great thing about our English and Maths courses are that we fit them around YOUR lifestyle. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, evening or online, we have courses at a time and pace that suits you.

“Over the years, we have been amazed to see not only the English and Maths skills develop within our learners but also their confidence, friendships and ambition.

“We really are proud of the team and learners that we have and can’t wait to see what the next year holds.” “I signed up for my GCSEs with ACL in my early 40s, not expecting much, and got the highest grade across the board in Maths, Science, English and Psychology.”

“I am proud of myself for completing the course as it is a quite a big jump from the Level 1 functional skills course that i did just before the GCSE.”

“I joined the course just for an interest and to brush up my maths skills but to the end of the course I fall in love with maths and couldn’t imagine a day without solving some maths problems on MyMaths website. Now I am thinking about doing some private tutoring in order to develop my skills further and to practice the skills I have already gained.”

Tanya, ACL Maths learner

My tutor was incredibly committed to make sure we still had the best learning experience we could get giving the circumstance. I am truly grateful for all her effort she put in to allow me to still excel in the subject and not fall behind in any way at all.

“At the beginning I went into this course absolutely loathing maths but have come out with a newfound (I won’t say love) but understanding which I never thought I would ever achieve.”
