I'm sure most of us basic skills tutors are short of time and any resources we can get our hands on which are relevant to adult learners AND mapped to the core curriculum are worth their weight in gold.
I enjoy your newsletters very much and find them invaluable. In fact, I’m not sure if I could live without them now!

I go on the Skillswise numeracy and literacy site quite a lot and I like to play the games as well as do the worksheets and the quizzes and the factsheets, which help a lot. I've been using Skillswise since the start and I find it brilliant.

All of Skillswise is a great help and source of ideas. Students are also using it themselves. Between classes they find it so helpful. Using it at home gives them "cred" for being IT literate with children and grandchildren, and accessing it through Public Libraries is a means for some people to go into a Library for possibly the first time ever, with no fear of embarrassment about their literacy skills. For tutors it is a fantastic reinforcer of what we teach and of course helps us to use our time even better.

I am finding it all very helpful, as I am rusty on my maths.

F Gallagher, England (student)

Excellent website. It was recommended by a colleague and, as a relatively new tutor, I have found the site a really useful resource, packed with good ideas and information.

Veronica, Leicester (tutor)

The bank of news quizzes is excellent and matches the varying interests of my students.

Gillian, Nottingham (tutor)

One of the real bonuses of the site is the fact that it is mapped to the Core Curriculums. As a tutor about to start mapping vocational courses to them, the resources available on Skillswise are fantastic examples of how straightforward it is to do this, and how simply a wide range of areas can be mapped.
