I've been working with a couple of college students over the summer, helping them prepare for the maths module in the HNC Electrical Engineering course. The syllabus includes imaginary and complex numbers, a topic that isn't covered at Higher. If you're looking for support for Mathematics 1 for Engineering, get in touch!

As this year's exam season winds up and many of my senior students move on, I will be contacting my waiting list to discuss availability and arrange trial sessions. If you think you're on my list but don't hear from me in the next week or so, please give me a nudge...

Happy Pi Day! (today's date is 3-14 in US format)

Today's Google Doodle is all about the mysterious irrational number π and how the Greek mathematician Archimedes approximated its value by enclosing a circle between two 96-sided polygons to determine its precise upper and lower bounds.

Time for our regular reminder that maths prelims are HARD! It's not unusual for students to struggle in their prelim and then go on to do MUCH better in May. If you didn't do as well as you'd hoped, don't worry. Stay positive and keep working at it... you CAN get there!

Merry Christmas to all my students - may you all have a fabulous and well earned break! 🎄💫

Extra special good wishes to my lovely Cathkin Highers who are sitting their prelim on the Very Last Day before the holiday!

See you all in the New Year!

Today's Google Doodle is all about the quadratic equation. This important topic is introduced for the first time towards the end of the Nat5 course. My Higher students have been getting to know it in much more detail over the past few weeks!
