I was 30 when I went to my local FE college to take a few GCSEs including Maths , once I enrolled on a course , I developed a passion for learning . Little did I know , after a career as a landscape gardener , that I would later become a teacher of maths .

Some simply have unfinished business and use their maturity to master maths in a way that they didn ’ t manage the first time around and get huge satisfaction from achieving .
