Have you ever heard these?
“ Times tables are to be memorised. ”
“ You won't be able to access higher level maths if you don't learn them off by heart. ”
“ Being fast at multiplication makes you good at maths. ”
I am here to challenge these views.
Not gently, but with a huge wrecking ball.
Because as an ex-head of maths turned home educating mum and coach, I have heard these stories on repeat:
“ I just could never get them right and felt stupid. ”
“ I was always the slowest, it made me feel like I am no good at maths. ”
“ I enjoyed maths until THEN. After that, maths became boring.”

You adore the bones of your child and want them to have every opportunity available to them in the future.
You know this will include maths on some level.
But you are not willing to sacrifice their joy and deep understanding, and your connection with them, over learning times-tables.
You are not willing to coerce your child into learning arbitrary facts.
You are not willing to put them through the boredom, embarrassment or deep shame you felt over learning multiplication tables.
Your child is aged 5 - 11 and is developing their multiplication skills.
Multiplication without Memorisation is not just about times tables – it is about questioning the systems you have taken for granted, reflecting on your own experiences and healing your wounds.
Leave with practical resources to take away and use immediately for deeply understanding times-tables and multiplication at all levels.
Understand the research that will give you confidence when those pesky relatives that insist on quizzing you and your child about multiplication.
Feel a deep confidence that you are the perfect person to support your child in their maths and multiplication journey.
What you really need is the opportunity to see maths done differently.
You need to understand what the research says about learning maths effectively for the long term.
You need to hear from a person who has lived and breathed the school system for over 30 years and been traditionally successful in maths, telling you that traditional methods do not align with positive outcomes for most people.
You need to know that your child can thrive and be successful, in every meaning of the word, without being coerced into memorising meaningless facts.
You need me – I am sooo excited to guide you through this.
Hi there, I am Ruth - lover of maths, celebrator of children, living for joy and connection.
I was traditionally successful at school. I did all the “right things” like getting good grades, all the extra-curricular stuff, good degree at a good university, straight into work, up the ladder until...
BOOM – I had children.
They did not fit this perfect mould, and by heck – they were loud about it! Now I thank them every single day for showing me that I do not either.
And the chances are - you don’t either.
Because if 11 years of teaching in a classroom showed me one thing, it showed me how few people really do fit this mould.
Afters years of painfully and unsuccessfully fighting to change the system from the inside, I took my research and passion for learning and left "traditional" education.
And now I am here, with all my knowledge and passion as well as 4 years of de-schooling and coaching families under my belt, ready to lead a maths revolution.

“ Ruth’s coaching sessions are an invaluable resource for home ed parents, providing both reassurance and practical, actionable strategies to effectively nurture their child’s connection to the often daunting subject of mathematics. Ruth possesses a truly unique ability to make maths accessible and understandable for everyone. Through her coaching, guidance, extensive expertise, and genuine encouragement, I left the session feeling a lot lighter and much more confident in my ability to actively engage in and support my child’s learning journey. Thank you Ruth!”
“ I absolutely loved the Multiplication without Memorisation workshop and have come away feeling so positive about how to broach maths with my homeschooled 9 year old. We have only just started our homeschooling journey and I have been so nervous about doing maths with her. I have had the view that I am terrible at maths my whole life. Your workshop was exactly what I needed to realise that this is not true. My action is to actively practise maths in lots of different ways, to build my confidence and help my children enjoy maths and not inherit my fear of it. ”
