The Homework Club in White City - Imperial College London (Years 9-11)
From supermarket shopping to space travel, mathematics is a critical skill and many qualities are nurtured through the ordered thinking that maths promotes – reasoning, creativity, abstract or spatial thinking, critical thinking and problem solving.
Anyone can do maths with suitable training and guidance.
The Homework Club helps students from year 9 to year 11 at both ends of the ability spectrum – those who struggle with or who could excel at maths – to help them be the best they can.
Students local to White City in West London will be given priority, but if places are available, we will consider students who can travel to our Invention Rooms in White City from further afield.
What to expect
The weekly tutoring sessions include homework, coursework and revision support for students, as well as extension tasks for more able students.
Where: Imperial Invention Rooms, White City
When: Every Wednesday during term time, from 16.00 – 17.30
Each session is supported by Imperial student tutors - ensuring that all students receive close personalised support - and includes a hot meal. The curriculum content is overseen by Dr Philip Ramsden from the Department of Mathematics.
