Resilience Adds-Up for Shelley!

Shelley came to Rochdale Training to study Functional Skills Maths at Level 2.

Her previous experience of Maths was not a good one and despite her outgoing and bubbly personality it was clear to see that she was not looking forward to having to work through all the topics involved and sit the exam at the end of the course.

Despite her fears and reservations, she attended every class, was always focused and worked hard to understand each different method, formula and technique required.

At the end of the course, Shelley took her Level 2 Maths exam and unfortunately didn’t achieve it, which was a real blow to Shelley’s confidence, explaining afterwards she did say that she was ready to give up.

Shelley’s Maths tutor Peter Thomas said “After speaking to Shelley at length I managed to convince her to try again, and so she did. She attended more classes, showed determination and focus and continued to work hard.

After some words of encouragement, I persuaded her that she was capable, she was ready and despite her concerns, self-doubt and lack of confidence, she had what it took to achieve.”

In February 2024, Shelley took her Level 2 Functional Skills Maths exam, and she achieved it, it was well deserved and a credit to her sheer determination. Congratulations Shelley!

Shelley said: “It was hard and I did doubt myself but I absolutely loved it, I loved coming to class every week and the other members of the group were super supportive, the support was brilliant I’m very proud of what I have achieved. I would recommend Rochdale Training to anyone, it is a great, supportive learning environment.”
