Too often I see students who have the mathematical ability to answer questions give up. It might be that they are scared of saying the wrong answer in front of their peers or that they lack confidence to ask for help – but unchecked this behaviour becomes a habit and over time a big problem.

I wanted to be more proactive, to give students the confidence to ask questions and embed a love of learning as soon as possible.
