Colette Delargy (MathsBuddy) is a qualified teacher who has taught in primary schools and offers support to children who are struggling with maths in post-primary schools. She was Assistant Adviser for Maths in two Education & Library Boards (forerunner to the Education Authority) where she advised teachers on how to teach maths in a way that supported children’s knowledge and understanding rather than solely following a published scheme. She still provides Parenting advice on how to support children with maths at home through courses run by the Education Authority and through specific requests from schools.

Colette has an Honour’s and Master’s Degree in Education and a Certificate in teaching children with autism – all from QUB.
