Mathematics engages learners of all ages, interests and abilities. Learning mathematics develops logical reasoning, analysis, problem-solving skills, creativity, and the ability to think in abstract ways. It uses a universal language of numbers and symbols, which allows us to communicate ideas in a concise, unambiguous and rigorous way. The course develops important mathematical techniques which are critical to successful progression beyond National 5 in Mathematics and many other curriculum areas. The skills, knowledge and understanding in the course also support learning in technology, health and wellbeing, science, and social studies.
National 5 Maths is becoming increasingly sought after as a qualification for adults who have left school, in some case several years ago. Most adults hold existing and often outdated qualifications such as Intermediate 2 or Standard Grades from their time in high school. This can often create a barrier to career changes and progression, as National 5 Maths has become a very common entry requirement to an increasing number of college and university courses. Demand for the SQA National 5 Maths Qualification among the adult population often exceeds the number of spaces available with college courses rapidly filling each year. Saturday School is often the solution for adult learners who require the qualification yet do not have the option of completing a full-time weekday or evening course. Completing your National 5 Maths Qualification with us allows adults to gain the award with minimum impact on their weekly, working life. Classes are run on a part-time weekend basis on Saturday mornings. Teachers who deliver this class are full time, fully qualified GTCS registered teachers who are currently delivering the N5 Maths course in Scottish schools or colleges.

During my working life I have spent time in industry and education. After high school I worked and qualified as a Mechanical Services Engineer before moving on to study a full time BSc Honours degree in Physics. On graduating I then completed the PGDE in Secondary Education - Physics and Science. I spent eleven years in front-line education, delivering the many Physics and Science courses available in Scottish schools.
