About Me
Magical Maths Bristol and Bath is run by Emil Dowdeswell...
Coming from a Professional Engineering background with a career spanning 27 years, maths has always been at the forefront of my work but it was not always easy for me to grasp. I was a slow starter, lacking in confidence until I was lucky enough to be taught by an enthusiastic and inspirational maths teacher, Mr Butcher, who, standing on a desk and holding his brief case high up in the air, dropped it suddenly to the floor and with an almighty crash asked the shocked pupils "why did the bag drop and why has it stopped moving?"
These are the moments that shape your life and provide the spark to make you think.
With three children of my own (now all grown up) and step dad to two more, I think I have had my fair share of maths homework challenges to realise that providing a stimulating environment, a gentle nudge in the right direction with plenty of enthusiasm is enough to inspire a child's inquisitive mind. There is nothing better than seeing a child reach that "Eureka" moment and is what this job is all about!
Magical Maths gives children a fun learning experience to encourage them to realise their full potential in their school lessons. It's a fantastic feeling to know you're helping children and providing something that replaces fear, uncertainty and frustration with excitement, confidence and, above all, FUN!
I am committed to bringing Magical Maths to primary school children across Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire with my team of highly motivated and enthusiastic friends.
This is maths... but not as you know it!
