Please bring an A4 writing pad, pens, pencil, ruler, and highlighters to each session. You will also need to purchase a scientific calculator, preferably one of the Casio FX series. If you already have a scientific calculator, it should suffice for the course. Please discuss this with your tutor if you are unsure. Remember to bring these resources with you to each session unless directed otherwise by your tutor.
Please note that tutors may occasionally be changed at short notice. While teaching styles may vary, we ensure consistent quality across all of our courses. For this reason, a change of tutor does not qualify for a refund.
