"One of the country’s leading maths education speakers."

Peter Makower, IAPS Area I Secretary



"The pupils are still talking about the shows, and think that I know how you did the tricks! You have been a real inspiration to them as well as to many of the staff and have also helped me to promote the department within the school and among the parents. Thank you again."

Judi Wolstenholme, Daneshill Prep School



"The show was magnificent. The positive feedback came from all angles - children, TAs and Teachers!!!"

Michelle Graham, Davigdor Infants School, Brighton



"Your show was great because it made it OK to love Maths - it`s not geeky, it`s magic! You made us all laugh - it was great entertainment. Best of luck with focusing your career on the magic of maths, and thanks for making my daughter so happy."

Michelle Howes, Parent at NAGC Meeting



"Thank you very much for bringing your Magic Maths show to Sidley CP School. The children really enjoyed your presentation and certainly are now very enthusiastic about maths and everything you showed them."

Mrs J Reece, Sidley Primary School, Bexhill



"Andrew came to our middle school to deliver sessions for our KS2 pupils, plus a session for the Year 4s from our feeder first schools. We all really enjoyed the shows, the children (and staff) were amazed by the magic and are now more willing about giving Maths a go. It was the perfect mix of audience partipication and the shows were adapted for the different year groups. We can`t wait to have Andrew back again! p.s. the suit was fab!"

Jo Dicker, Hugh Sexey Middle School



"Andrew Jeffrey came to our school recently and EVERYONE was hooked - kids, staff and parents. There were one or two people determined NOT to enjoy it but they just couldn`t help themselves!!! A fantastic day and everyone agreed it was money very well spent."

Head Teacher, Infant & Nursery School, London



"The children were enthralled and excited about maths, as were the teachers. We all learnt new things! The children and staff loved it. It raised the profile of maths in school and made it fun!"

Becky Sutton, Meadowbrook Primary School



"Sir, you`re MINT."

Katie (Year 8), Cathedral School, Wakefield



"Thanks again for a fabulous day on Tuesday; I hope you can be tempted back next year! I have written to the CHASE hospice with a cheque for £37 so thanks for that too."

Jenny Davy, London SW and Surrey Further Maths Centre Manager



"Just a quick note to say thank you for such a fantastic day! The children were raving about it on the way out to their parents and the buses. The parents evening tonight went really well and I had well over a dozen parents comment about how their children had been inspired by you."

Phill Allman, Margaret Beaufort Middle School, Bedford



"Just a quick note to say, on behalf of the whole school, a massive thanks for your visit. I have enclosed just three letters from the children but hopefully it will give you a flavour of how much they all enjoyed it."

Julie Barnett, Bailey`s Court Primary School, Bradley Stoke



"Dear Mr. Maths Magician, Thank you for coming to visit our school.We learnt a lot and thought that the magic you did was extremely clever. Besides beign a ballet dancer, I would definitely like to be a Maths Magician. Since your visit we are enjoying maths even more and find it easier to understand problem-solving questions. We hope for you to continue visits to other schools so that you can inspire other scho0ls, like ours."

Emily, Year 6 pupil., Primary School near Bristol



"Andrew: Hard to know where to begin; the evaluations of your session were spectacular, almost magical! We had a complex array of mathematics teachers from all round the world for you to entertain. I suspect the Russian contingent from Moscow only understood about half of what you did, but that was enough for them too to give you top marks!"

Douglas Butler, TSM Conference, Oundle



"Thank you so much for your help - L has never had an A grade for a scholarship maths paper before - we don`t think she would have done this without your input. Many thanks again and best of luck with the Maths `business`."

Parent of Year 8 girl



"I`ve been trying to find sufficient time to make an attempt at thanking you properly for your two talks [to GCSE students] last week. I hope you will take it as a compliment if I say that the first was only excellent but the second was superb...by distinguishing between mathematics and magic, you demonstrated that mathematics was at least as fascinating, challenging and entertaining as magic. It was a great pleasure to meet you and to work with you. I hope that you will allow us to call on you again."

Radka Newby, The Training Partnership



"The best training day I have EVER been on; thank you!"

Teaching Assistant, Sevenoaks



"Dear Andrew, Just a quick note to say I enjoyed your lecture today, you presented some new ideas that can be used immediately in the classroom."

Lorraine Dunn, Leading Maths Teacher, Durham



"We had a very successful event today with Andrew Jeffrey. It was attended by almost 300 students and teachers from eight schools in the area. Andrew did a wonderful job and got a great response from the students. It was a great advertisement for Maths and a positive experience for all concerned, so much so that we would be delighted to host similar events in the future."

Gerry Gallagher, Dundalk Institute of Technology, Ireland



"Andrew is a great guy and very enthusiastic and generous with his time and he got on very well with all the students, he also knows how to handle a typical bunch of students."

Seamus Bellew, Dundalk Institute Of Technology, Ireland
