Functional Skills Maths tutoring prepares adult learners and school-age students for Level 1 and Level 2 qualifications, widely accepted as equivalent to GCSE Maths grade 4 by employers and further education providers. It covers the practical application of maths in real-world contexts, money, measurement, statistics, ratios and problem solving.
Many adults seeking Functional Skills Maths qualifications have had negative experiences with maths education and lack confidence rather than ability, a patient, supportive tutor who focuses on practical application rather than abstract theory can quickly rebuild that confidence and move students through the qualification efficiently.
