Testimonials

Melissa Rai

"Here at South Staffordshire College the aim is to give learners an understanding of Mathematics and build on everyday life problem solving skills in a safe, secure and supportive environment. No question is too big or too small in our classroom and if plan ‘a’ doesn’t work remember there are 25 more letters in the alphabet! As teachers we always endeavour to find the method that suits you best and help you to practice new skills not until you get them right but until you can’t get them wrong!"
