'Karen's training really brings about deep learning. It changes the mindset of both teachers and children.'

Kat Bowen, Head Teacher

You had a bad experiences of learning Maths at school yourself and the thought of doing training scares you?

'I'm feeling so positive about maths in my classroom thanks to you Karen!!

Our new head observed a maths lesson in my reception class yesterday and he couldn’t believe the links children were making.'

Emily Parker

'It has been hard to put into words what my challenge with maths is.

Personally it was my hardest subject at school and I believed I was fundamentally 'not good' at maths. Professionally I now realise that I haven't been taught how to teach maths, instead I have been provided with a scheme that is meant to do the work for me and that has stopped me thinking about maths at a deeper.

Your training is opening my eyes, challenging me and teaching me so much about maths - and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Thank you!'

Gemma Barry

'I guarantee to make a difference to the way you feel about and teach Maths from the very FIRST day we work together.'

Karen Wilding

Founder and CEO at EYMaths

Hi there, I'm Karen Wilding

Director of EYMaths, public speaker and published author

Looking at these photos, would you believe that becoming a Maths consultant was NEVER on my radar...

I began life as: A 'Maths hater' and 'Maths failure'

Then later I became: A teacher, senior leader, local authority Maths adviser and curriculum writer and trainer

And now I'm: An independent Maths Consultant (since 2009), business owner and director, published author with Penguin book ('First Maths Glossary'), conference speaker (working all over the world) and, most importantly, fully signed up 'Maths Lover'!

What Happened?

It turns out that the problem wasn't Maths and it wasn't me; it was simply the way I'd been taught.

Once I realised this and began to gather the right tools and put them in my 'Maths Tool Box' everything changed (for me and the children I taught!).

This journey took me decades, I was scared stiff a lot of the time and I navigated it almost totally alone.

But look where it took me!

I created EYMaths 3-7 so you can easily build your personal 'Maths Tool Box' of skills and confidence meaning your children benefit from the very first day we work together.
