Whilst studying the Level 5 Diploma in Teaching Mathematics and Numeracy I have found the team at Teacher Assist very supportive and professional. Any issues or queries I have had have been answered promptly and the guidance given has enabled me to progress with the course.
The feedback I received in regards to my assignments and observations from my tutor have been clear and constructive and where any amendments needed a positive direction was given.
The portal was user friendly and the resources helpful to provoke more of an independent learner requirement. I did have an issue uploading some files due to their size but this was easily dealt with the use of email.
Completing the Level 5 Diploma in Teaching Mathematics and Numeracy has given me further insight and understanding into the needs of the learner and my role as a teacher in the progression of my learners.

The Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training is a wonderful well run course teamed by professionals who ensure that you are kept updated and informed throughout the course. It is tough to study part time, but Teacher Assist ensures you are supported through out your journey. I thoroughly enjoyed my course and when you have the support from friendly professionals who assist (and calm you) throughout your course, it makes it all the better! I wanted to finish my course within a year and it couldn’t have been possible without Teacher Assist. Thank you to everyone who helped and supported me, I wish you all the very best!!!

The team at teacher assist were patient and helpful. I
struggled to find time to complete the course at start due to work
commitments but they helped and guided me through the course to success.
Without the support and feedback given would have struggled to complete
the course. A big thank you to them.
Thanks

Wanted to do this qualification for a while. Teacher assist allowed the flexibility to do so by distance learning and the team steered me through with quick help when needed and positive motivation when it got tough (particularly at the end), I’m not a natural academic so needed the extra push at times. Particularly impressed with speed your work is marked and returned.
Thanks guys.

I started my L5 numeracy course with Teacher Assist. At first I found some of the assignments quite daunting, even though I had a lot of experience in teaching Functional Skills maths.
I think it was because I had not written professional modules for a period of years. The support offered by both Afua and Stephanie was first class. They were approachable and encouraging and gave me the belief that I could complete my course. During my course we had a moment of personal tragedy when a much loved family member died – suddenly.
This had a devastating impact on my direct and wider family.
The care and patience shown by Teacher Assist was exemplary. They did not pressurise me to continue my studies, they waited until I was ready. I really enjoyed the observed sessions, and many of the assignments were relevant to what I do on a day to day basis. Ultimately this meant I really enjoyed many of the writing tasks, and reading up (research) to complete the assignments.
I really enjoyed the learning in my course.
Thank you Afua and Steph for your support to complete an invaluable L5 maths qualification. It is a great qualification to hold!

I am satisfied with the course content and delivery mode. It suited me as I could work studying around my job and childcare, and was not under pressure of deadlines. As it happened that half of my course duration was during the COVID lockdown, which made it impossible for me to complete all my teaching observations on time, I was granted an extension which I am very grateful for. The feedback I received on my assignments was formative and clear. I found some of the resources available on Moodle helpful in doing my assignments. It would help if there were more learning materials available for each module respectively, such as presentations, reading lists etc. I would especially like to thank Stephanie who was very helpful throughout my learning journey. I would recommend this course to anyone who is already teaching numeracy or has completed a Level 3/4 qualification and wishes to add a formal qualification into their portfolio. I have been teaching Functional Skills Maths for the last 3 years and this course has given me a lot of insight into the theoretical side of the subject as well as helped refresh some teaching methodology I studied many years ago. I definitely feel more confident now, and qualified, to teach the subject.
