Karen McGuigan

Karen McGuigan is an education consultant with a goal to improve the image and attainment levels in maths for everyone.  She studied maths at a degree level as part of her Masters in Chemical Engineering at Imperial College and brings a wealth of real life experience to her work.  

Inspired by her middle son Lance, who has Down syndrome, she has developed the Maths For Life programme.  It is a differentiated approach to teaching maths that is designed for students with additional learning needs, for whom the standard maths national curriculum structure and timescale is unattainable.  It is currently being used both in schools and homes across the globe with students ranging from aged 2 to 60.
