Build your confidence and master the basics.

Didn’t get the grades you needed, or has it been a while since school? Whether you struggled before or are looking to get the qualifications for the job you want, we’re here to help you take the next step

The good news? It’s never too late to learn. English and maths are key skills that can boost your independence, expand your career options, and improve your everyday life, including your overall wellbeing.

A solid understanding of English and maths is essential for most jobs and can help you in other areas too, like managing money or supporting your children with their homework.

What do I need to succeed

To succeed in maths and English, commitment is key. You’ll need to attend every class (unless agreed with your tutor) and complete regular homework. With smaller class sizes compared to other providers, an open and positive attitude will help you get the most out of your learning experience.

What can I study at SS&L?

We offer beginner English, maths confidence-building workshops, and Functional Skills qualifications in both maths and English. Whether you prefer studying in one of our Somerset centres or learning online, we’ve got you covered!

The tutors at SS&L made me feel I could do maths. The course is supportive and there is always someone who is willing to help with anything. I have never known such patience. I no longer have a fear of doing maths, I just enjoy the challenge of each question.
