Just wanted to say how useful your mental maths resources for the QTS numeracy have been. Failed the test twice by 1 mark due to mental maths, but passed for the third time after using your videos demonstrating the written methods.Thank you so much, will definitely recommend!

It has been a real privilege working with David, especially using the materials he has designed specifically for the QTS. I have had lessons with another tutor, read all the books, done the test and failed. But after just 2 lessons with him and practising his materials at home my confidence began to grow. I went in for a test and was 5 marks off (I think the nerves got to me) then I had one more lesson and took the test again. I went in with no expectations and applied the strategies David recommended and I passed!
