As Inspiring Maths Education, I’m continuing my extensive 20+ year track record supporting primary and secondary schools to improve and develop the quality of teaching and learning with a specific focus on mathematics. This includes providing high quality, bespoke subject specific training, support, advice, consultancy and professional development across the country and internationally. As an independent consultant, I wear a number of hats working for a variety of organisations. I am an accredited professional lead for the National Centre for the Excellence in Teaching Mathematics (NCETM). I am a work group lead for NCETM Maths Hubs across the Midlands: North Midlands (NM) and East Midlands West (EMW). These look at Mastery Readiness, Developing Teaching for Mastery, SKTM for TAs and ECTs in the primary phase, as well as Y5-8 continuity. As an associate lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, I work with student teachers at the very start of their careers in teaching as both an academic mentor and lecturer. I am a School Development Lead for ARK Curriculum Mathematics Mastery programme visiting schools to support them in their mastery journey. I deliver mathematics training for Teachers’ Courses and Resources (TCR) in Staffordshire, offering a range of CPD opportunities both face to face and remotely which allows me to work with teachers both in this country and beyond. I have a real passion for the teaching and learning of mathematics and have had a considerable involvement in teaching mathematics both as a teacher, subject leader and adviser over a long career. My enthusiasm for mathematics is infectious and I have vast experience of working with a variety of stakeholders in schools to guide and inspire the next generation of mathematicians.

Libra Education

London

Libra Education was founded in 2017 in response to a broken industry model where education companies overpromised and underdelivered, whilst many tutors were not trained to work with international clients. Providing a better and more accountable service to both the students and tutors they work with is key to Libra’s success. We recruited a bi-lingual team of Education Consultants to track students’ progress accurately against our cohort and make targeted interventions where required. Libra Education continues to add value throughout the customer journey through highly personal interactions, providing high-level support to unlock students’ potential in a highly competitive British education sector. To date, Libra Education has sought to live up to the education values that its founders witnessed in their own education. Graduating from Eton College, Cambridge and Oxford, Libra CEO Oscar Hardy ensures that every lesson taught at Libra echoes the gilded experience that top British institutions offer. Since 2017, the services covered by Libra Education have gradually expanded. Geographically, Libra has 4 offices across three different counties and works with students from over 20 countries around the world. Initial services included residential camps, tuition and consultancy for school or university applications. In time, we launched our Corporate Language Services alongside our fully accredited Libra Online School to offer students the best education whenever and wherever they want.

Research Global

Researchtec is a market research, business development, IT solutions and digital marketing consultancy based in Uganda. Our mission is to support and empower businesses for success through the provision of digital and research-based solutions. Part of the reason why so many businesses fail, not just in Uganda, but across Africa, is because they lack solid data, information and robust insights on local markets, competitors and customers. Knowledge is power. Information is the new gold. Without robust data on the size of the market you want to serve, for instance, you cannot make a safe investment decision. Of the top 20 official reasons why new business ventures fail, at number 1 is - NO MARKET NEED. Not even passion or incredible marketing can rescue a business started without first understanding if there is a market need for its product or service. To avoid joining the failure list, first, understand your market! And it all starts with market research. Insights, data and information, about everything concerning your competitors, market, or customers. From who they are, to what they buy from your competition, and their entire demographic profile (class, age, status, income, preferences etc.). Our market researchers process this raw data to create insights, robust information and vital knowledge about everything regarding your customer! Good businesses perish for lack of this knowledge. Mostly because they don't want to pay or don't see any value in paying for this knowledge. But knowledge comes at a cost, one you cannot afford to skip when your competitors will use it and are using it. Trust us. More importantly, you are getting us, the A team. We work with some of the biggest companies in the world and have 1,000s of portfolio samples to back this up. If you want to see some of our past client market research work, feel free to drop us an email or come by our office. BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
