Description

Maths the Wacky Way is a course designed to help students to achieve their full potential in mathematics in an enjoyable and unforgettable way. Many consider mathematics as difficult/boring but Maths the Wacky Way brings maths to life using dance moves, comparing methods to computer games, generally breaking it down so children (and adults) find it easy and fun!

Maths the Wacky Way originally came about after praise by students and parents alike for my highly successful teaching methods. Six years ago my book Maths the Wacky Way was published. Four years ago I produced three sample videos and received feedback as shown below:

  • 'Love it!! Super helpful for my son. Thank you!!!'
  • 'Claire - I am 52 years old and for the first time in my life I understand fractions thank you thank you thank you'
  • 'Cool way to learn! =) Thanks!'

  • 'I love the way you teach! Your style is engaging with youngsters, I wish my teachers were as cool as you are. Thank you for sharing!'

  • 'All your videos are brilliant. Thank you for the simple and affective (and fun) methods. Phew, to think I struggled with these concepts 40 years ago and it is this simple!!!!!'

I have now created the course below which includes 12 videos covering over two hours of lectures, the wacky way! There is a quiz containing five multiple choice questions after each topic, so 55 questions in addition to the lectures.


Who this course is for:

  • Adults needing a refresher
  • Parents wanting to assist their children
  • Children 12 years old or above
  • Teacher looking for ways to teach
  • Anyone that wants to learn the wacky way!

Have to finish for an honest review, but great so far!!! Great math course! I now understand algebra and fractions (the two I have always had trouble with). Claire did a great job explaining the math problems to where I could understand what she was saying. Thank you Claire! Hope you make another math course soon!!!

I am the author of Maths the Wacky Way, a book that was published in 2009 after successfully tutoring students for nine years. My wacky methods led to students achieving higher grades than predicted and actually enjoying mathematics! This success led to my tuition and notes being in high demand. I have always loved mathematics and wanted to share this with others in a wacky format. I took two mathematics A Levels and studied mathematics at university. It was at university that I started to teach in my spare time.

I have now taught for 14 years with renowned success. Two years after my book was published, I recorded three videos which I uploaded to YouTube. After receiving over 560,000 hits on YouTube I have decided to record nine new videos/quizzes and create a Maths the Wacky Way course on Udemy.
