I’d just like to say how much I like the Level 2 comparing information resource and the reading activity about staycations! These are fantastic and so relevant, I’m looking forward to using them in the near future, thank you!

I’ve no hesitation in recommending these resource sheets to anyone who is working with adult learners. They are suitable for people aiming to improve their literacy, or for anyone who is learning English as a second or other language. The sheets are clear, concise and straightforward, and — importantly — thay don’t patronise the learner.

I am a teacher of SEN and Functional Skills in an inner city Main-Stream School. I find this website invaluable and informative. I use it for planning and teaching interventions and Teaching 1:1 counted as Alternative Provision. 

I find the resources complete, adaptable and user friendly. My students find them interesting and relatable to everyday life. Something my students struggle with in other Main-stream lessons. The resources have helped them reconnect with their education. I have recommended this website to head of Maths and English at my school if they might require resources for lower ability or SEN students.  

Overall this is a great Website that more teachers should be aware of.

I’ve worked with LC Education for nearly two years.  They are experienced in the delivery of Functional Skills and have built up an amazing bank of resources to support delivery.  The team are very responsive and have developed a number of topical resources which will be of interest to different learner cohorts, for example workbooks exploring fuel prices when oil and gas prices rose sharply.  Resources are well written and help to take the pain away from tutors and let them get on with teaching, monitoring and motivating to get the best out of learners.

Just want to say I love the functional skills platform; I find it so easy to find where things are and there’s such a wide range of things to study.

I love you can find the answers to the worksheets, so I’m not left wondering if I got the answers correct!

Such a good platform to use, I’d recommend to everyone.

This approach to maths makes so much more sense -it’s real-world life skills and just working through the workbook makes sense as to why the student needs to know how to approach the questions!

 

If maths was taught like this in schools where skills relevant to living life and the skills we need to navigate it, students would be able to see why they need to learn something and not push back so hard!

I can honestly say as an adult I have never needed to work out how to measure a triangle 😂 so it gets tricky to justify to my kids why they need to complete their homework as actually most of what they learn in maths they won’t use in their lives!

That said your workbooks do teach useful and relevant maths –  I have needed to be able to compare the cost of a service, work out how much additional interest I will pay if I take a longer term or how much I would save by block booking versus paying for 1 lesson at a time!

These are the sort of lessons that will equip students to be able to make more sense of the world and how to thrive in it.

Functional skills resources is one of the best tuition companies I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.
All resources are catered to individual learners with a varied amount of different techniques and methods along with a Videos how to guides and PDF print out documents that any learner will be able to use and excel in their learning.
Every member of staff, I spoke to was learner focused and constantly wanting to push me further and improve my understanding and knowledge.
Maths is something I really struggled with using functional skills resources really helped me improve quickly and I was actually excited to learn because I was improving each time.
If I was ever stuck on a particular section and needed help. All I had to do was email one of my tutors and they would contact me as  soon as possible to give me the best possible, help and feedback.
By using functional skills, you can learn from the comfort of your own home and download their resources quickly so you can access them any time. I found myself doing an hour of maths a day and I passed my exam in no time. I am well on my way to achieving my dreams and it’s all thanks to functional skills resources.
I would recommend functional skills resources to anybody looking to achieve that qualification that has escaped them for so long. If I can do it, anyone can do it. The support you get is immense and they are completely focused on you.
