Colin firmly believes that children should be given an equal chance to succeed at school, and so created HegartyMaths as a tool to help some of the students struggling in his class. Alongside a full-time teaching job, Colin spent his free time, often working until the early hours of the morning, creating YouTube videos for his students. With support from the Let Teachers SHINE programme, which seeks to seed-fund innovative teacher-led projects, Colin has grown HegartyMaths into an online tool which not only provides tutorial videos covering the entire GCSE and A-level maths curriculum, but provides resources and tools for teachers to give greater support for their students.
