In this episode, I chat with TJ Hegarty, founder and CEO of Breakthrough Maths, about the challenges and opportunities in making maths education more accessible and engaging. TJ shares his innovative approach, including small class sizes and personalised progress tracking, to help students build confidence and succeed in maths.

We discuss why girls' performance in maths is declining, exploring the role of societal stereotypes, math anxiety, and the lingering impact of COVID-19 on education. TJ highlights the differences between Asian and European approaches to maths education, and shares why foundational skills and parental support are crucial for long-term success.

We also explore the role of grinds schools in helping students prepare for state exams and how maths can equip young people for careers in a rapidly changing, AI-driven world. Packed with practical tips for study habits and exam preparation, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of education. Tune in for an insightful conversation!
