Charlotte’s journey to Realise began with a recommendation from a colleague. Struggling with accessibility at her local college, she turned to Realise, whose online courses offered a flexible and supportive alternative. “Realise explained everything over the phone, and I received updates right up to my first day. It was reassuring knowing what to expect.”
On her first day, Charlotte felt prepared and confident. Her tutor, Haleema, made all the difference. “I’ll be honest – I’ve never enjoyed Maths and didn’t think I could do it. But Haleema changed that,” Charlotte admits.
Haleema’s teaching style stood out. She was patient, kind and had a knack for explaining tricky concepts in ways that clicked. “If I didn’t understand something, she’d go through it as many times as needed. Her sense of humour made learning enjoyable, and she always followed up with extra resources if I needed them,” Charlotte adds.

Completing her Functional Skills Maths qualification wasn’t just a personal milestone for Charlotte – it was also a moment of pride for her family. “My teenage children saw me working hard, and I think it’s set a good example for them,” she says.
On a personal level, the qualification brought relief and confidence. “Now I can tell my employer I’ve met their requirements, and it’s less daunting to apply for new roles knowing I have a Maths qualification under my belt.”
Charlotte is quick to recommend Realise to others, highlighting the accessibility and quality of the courses. “It’s easy to enrol, and they guide you every step of the way. The online format is so convenient, and you even improve your IT skills while you learn,” she notes.
Her praise for Haleema is especially heartfelt. “If I’d had a teacher like Haleema at school, I probably would’ve left with a Maths qualification. She never made me feel dumb and was always encouraging, no matter how much I struggled.”
With her qualification in hand, Charlotte is ready to embrace her role as a tutor with confidence. “Thank you for getting me through my Functional Skills Maths”, she says.
Her journey with Realise has not only equipped her with essential skills but also inspired her to set an example for others, proving it’s never too late to learn.
