An overview of our activities
Mentoring takes place in safe and open yet quiet spaces kindly provided by our partners.
One-to-One Mentoring
We provide free, high-quality maths mentoring to high school students from disadvantaged backgrounds with a hunger to learn. Pre-Covid all maths mentoring was face-to-face, since March 2020 all our mentoring has been conducted on-line. We find deserving students through partner organisations such as Western Chances, Skyline Education Foundation and Harding Miller Education Foundation. Our volunteer mentors range from university students to industry professionals to retired academics. All share a passion for mathematics.

Industry Mentoring Programs enable industry professionals to inspire younger generations from disadvantaged backgrounds to succeed.
Industry Mentoring Program
We work with organisations in various industries and their mathematically-trained employees to run mentoring programs for our students out of the host firm’s offices. Being mentored by industry professionals, students gain a unique insight into the importance of mathematics in the real world. Wherever possible, we collaborate with host firms to incorporate fun maths-related activities relevant to the firm’s area of expertise.

Events and Community Engagement
Our activities aren’t limited to mentoring! We run maths-related events for everyone in the public to enjoy. We also hold friendly gatherings for our mentors and scholars from time to time. As part of our love to communicate maths and about maths, we have multiple side projects including a blog, a resource hub for mentors and students, and a library of notes for university-level mathematics.
