Who’s Online?

The Maths team

Here at Advantage Learn we are lucky to have gathered a fine bunch of mathematicians as part of our team. What can we say? Where you find one, you find many! They all have different jobs here at Advantage Learn. Some manage courses, some teach courses, some code websites, some are in management, some make Facebook posts… the list goes on. One thing they all have in common is that they are all ready to stop what they are doing and talk to our students to answer any maths problem posted on our live chat!*

*We unfortunately only have time to answer questions posted by our NBT, AP Maths and Maths Online customers.

Who are these mathematicians you speak of?
