Why Learn with StoriPowys?
We aim to provide an enjoyable and supportive learning environment. Here’s what our past students have to say:
“It was a valuable experience, and it has given me the confidence to interact with others outside of my comfort zone. I was unaware that opportunities like this existed until I saw it advertised in my child’s school newsletter. I would like to set up my own business and help my child with their homework and now feel that I am on the right path to do so. The tutor was superb, made lessons fun, interactive and was very helpful”.
“It’s really helped with my Maths anxiety, giving me the confidence boost I needed to go for it with my business. Every time I have a Maths problem now, be it with cash flow or turnover, I have the tools, things I can really hold on to from the course, that I can put into use.”
