  • At school I was famously bad at maths and had been all my life! Teachers told me I was going to fail my maths gcse, but in between year 10 and year 11 something changed that led me to acing my maths exams and getting a maths degree :)
    I originally posted this video on tiktok but thought I’d share it here!

    That’s the beautiful thing about maths, more than any subject I feel like you get back what you put in

      Yeah that’s so true! There’s no such thing as a maths brain, anyone can be good at it :)

    Very inspiring story. Currently in year 9, I have ADHD and dyscaulia, so I’ve always been better at English. I struggle with maths a lot, I’m normally an A+ - A student but in maths I’m typically a b or b+. Any advice to get better aside from revision , I want to badly, I never understand my teacher, which is very frustrating at times.

      Thank you! So of course I don’t know your exact situation, but I would recommend going back through all the work you’ve done since year 7 and see if there’s any topics you don’t understand yet, and start by working on those. You might be able to ask your teacher for a list of topics you’ve covered since year 7 if you’re not sure!

    You had a private tutor as well though?

    Thank you so much for this. I want to start a degree involving maths (I haven’t yet got a degree due to my ADHD which was undiagnosed) but I initially struggled with it at school. Got an A at GCSE with lots of hard work but didn’t take it further. I am nervous to start a degree involving maths as it will be hard work but this gave me hope!

      You can do it! I believe in you :) number one thing for me with the maths degree is try and attend all your lectures in person if you can, and don’t be afraid to ask questions even if you think they’re silly. You’re doing great and should be so proud of yourself for getting to where you are so far 💙💙💙
