Redefine access,
Reset attitudes
The Institute for Enquiring Minds is an educational initiative helping high school students experiencing disadvantage improve their maths skills.
Our goal is to increase participation in advanced secondary school maths by providing free maths mentoring for financially disadvantaged students.
Our mentors come from all parts of the community, undergraduates, academics and industry professionals.
We have delivered over 2500 hours of free one-on-one maths mentoring
“There’s something quite amazing about fully understanding a concept, or finally “getting something”, and we had so many of these moments together. The student I worked with had a genuine enthusiasm and curiosity for mathematics (and the wider world). I would get truly excited to see what we could cover in just one session, and am really proud of what we achieved overall.”
“Western Chances introduced me to The Institute for Enquiring Minds where I had free, ongoing, one-on-one, high level maths tutoring. I love science and maths and my tutoring was one of the most valuable and enjoyable things I’ve ever done.”
“The mentoring program has tremendously impacted my level of confidence in approaching mathematical questions. My mentor is very humble, never gets tired of explaining every detail, generously gives his time when homework becomes stressful and reassures me that I have someone there for me. The belief and moral support I get, more than anything, makes me trust in myself as well as aspire to achieve.”
