Ever since Julie started teachers’ college, Maths has been her thing… which is completely ironic as she hated Maths at school! Her Dad thinks it is so funny that she now tutors Maths as she used to cry and cry every night doing her homework! This experience has led Julie to become dedicated to helping kids feel more positive about Maths and to gain the knowledge and skills they need to achieve.
