7 . Confidence in Maths, Confidence for Life.
Changing Lives Through Maths!
Mathnasium of North Oxford, your neighbourhood maths-only learning centre!
We help children aged 13-18 understand maths in a special way. Our way of teaching children maths, the Mathnasium Method, has changed the way students learn maths for over a decade across 800 + centres worldwide:
• We know how to teach your child maths.
Our specially trained maths teachers will teach your child how to understand maths in a special setting — our unique approach enables us to effectively explain maths concepts (概念) well and lend a helping hand to every student. Our teachers create a caring, encouraging environment that helps your child “catch up, keep up and get ahead” in their maths learning.
• We find exactly your child’s learning needs, meet them where they are and take them where they need to go.
At Mathnasium we use our unique assessment process (评估过程) to determine exactly what each child knows and what they need to learn. Next, we design an individual (单独的) learning plan for each student. It doesn’t stop there — our teachers continually check progress along the way to make sure students truly understand the concepts we’ve taught. Students learn maths at their own speed and according to their own level. They will see obvious changes in attitude, confidence and school progress.

Since its opening on 8 September this year, Mathnasium of North Oxford has been offering maths instruction and homework help to students in the community. You can find us at 18 South Parade, Summertown, North Oxford 0X2 7JL

9 . Want to explore new cultures, meet new people and do something worthwhile at the same time? You can do all the three with Global Development Association(GDA). Whatever stage of life you’re at, wherever you go and whatever project you do in GDA, you’ll create positive changes in a poor and remote community(社区).
We work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Most of our volunteers are aged 17-24. Now we need volunteer managers aged 25-75. They are extremely important in the safe and effective running of our programmes. We have such roles as project managers, mountain leaders, and communication officers.
Depending on which role you choose, you could help to increase a community’s access to safe drinking water, or help to protect valuable local cultures. You might also design an adventure challenge to train young volunteers.
Not only will you help our young volunteers to develop personally, you’ll also learn new skills and increase your cultural awareness. You may have chances to meet new people who’ll become your lifelong friends.
This summer we have both 4-week and 7-week programmes:
Country | Schedule | |
4-week programmes | 7-week programmes | |
Algeria | 5 Jul. — 1 Aug. | 20 Jun. — 7 Aug. |
