Big News: I'm Bringing Everything Under One Roof
I hope you're well!
It's been a little while since I last posted on this page, and that's simply been down to juggling multiple pages and social streams.
So I wanted to share an important update about this page and what's coming next.
From 1st September, all of 'Maths with Abbie' will be moving under one single business name.
Going forward, I'll be working exclusively under my brand, Straight Up Maths with Abbie.
This means the yellow branding and the Linear Learning name will be retiring.
The decision comes down to keeping things simple, honest, and consistent, running two names never quite sat right with our "straight up" ethos.
Linear Learning was originally built with a different vision: a trusted community of tutors families could rely on. I've worked with some brilliant tutors along the way, several of whom I still recommend wholeheartedly. But not every experience matched the standard I hold myself to, and I wasn't willing to compromise on things like reliable attendance for clients.
Then that vision changed, and I just felt I wanted to return home to what I loved, which was simply building maths confidence in teens.
So over the past year we, Helen and I, have been directing the business to come back to Maths with Abbie, giving it time to simplify and refocus on what I know works best: me delivering maths my way and maintaining my high standards!
At the end of the year it took a big conversation, and a slightly sad one on my part, to say goodbye to the yellow, but HELLOOOOO to the blue!!!
Here's the exciting part, this is far from a step back, instead I see it as a step up.
SUMclub only is where my growth now lives, opening its doors wider to support more teens across the county join the community, with the same straight up, exam focused approach that's always set me apart.
If you are reading this then I guess we've worked together in the past and so I'm going to be honest and say I will need your part in this journey more so than ever.
Over the next few weeks there is going to be a lot of people asking for a tutor for maths GCSE please can I ask to take 10seconds to link me in the comments .
If you haven't done so already please do consider leaving a google review.
And finally thank you from me to you, for being part of this journey so far.
I love supporting teens build confidence and understanding in maths. When they turn round and say I've made it so much easier for them or even just have the encouragement to try, that's all I can ever ask of them.
Straight Up Maths will still see me working with teens at the office under SUMoffice, that so many know me for, but this year I will also be welcoming many more teens to SUMclub, SUMexams SUMrevise and more.
Now Straight Up Maths makes putting the mathematical confidence into so many teens possible on a bigger scale.
