Maths Anxiety Test
Numbers and maths are taught from early childhood. Two of the top reasons why some people ‘hate maths’ is either because they’ve developed maths anxiety or they have a learning difference like dyscalculia.
The good news is, whether it’s dyscalculia, maths anxiety, or both, you can learn maths when given the right support.

The session runs for an hour.
So why do you suffer maths anxiety and what can you do about it?
For most people, maths anxiety is linked to an early negative experience when they start learning maths or numbers. Common triggers include an impatient or abusive teacher or an anxious or frustrated parent trying to help with homework.
Most people with dyscalculia also suffer from maths anxiety. This is because maths usually isn’t taught in a way that a dyscalculic brain can understand, leading to confusion and frustration. These elements don’t create a conducive environment for effective learning which is likely to cause anxiety for both the teacher and the student.
