Hedy runs all sessions. She is a Monash University graduate of Law and Science, with a maths major.
Although she worked as a lawyer for many (many) years, she retained her passion for maths. Going back a few years now, she volunteered (at the request of a teacher) to work at her childrens’ school with young students gifted in maths in weekly 1:1 sessions. Both of her own children loved maths games when they were young, and neither had a clue that they were doing algebra as pre-schoolers! Each of them went on to take 2 maths subjects at VCE level, and each graduated from Melbourne University with more than one degree.

4. How many sessions will I need?
Step 1 session: This depends on your skills and goals. To understand a topic that you had trouble with as a school student might take several (3-6?) 1:1 sessions.
Step 2: A session or two might be enough to inspire you. 3 or 4 sessions should be plenty.
5. But I don’t want to be a pushy parent …
Reading to your pre-school child is not being pushy. It’s helping your child to see the value of reading skills, and to get excited about language.
Same goes for pre-school, and early primary, maths skills development. It’s especially helpful when you can demonstrate that maths skills are useful in everyday life.
Unleash your child’s maths potential and enthusiasm
