We will again be joined by Professor Mahesh Sharma, Professor Michele Mazzocco, Professor Daniel Ansari and Professor Steve Chinn.

The times for this amazing line up are subject to change as we have some time zones to cross so we may be starting later! This exciting event will be recorded also if you cannot listen live.

Special Offer we will be sending out the recording of our first Dyscalculia Masterclass free of charge with your booking.

Professor Michelle Mazzocco

Professor Mazzocco's research focusses on individual differences in metacognition with a focus on cognitive developmenton typical and atypical numerical cognition in children and adults.

Professor Daniel Ansari

Daniel Ansari is Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Western Ontario in Canada, where he heads the Numerical Cognition Laboratory (www.numericalcognition.org). Ansari and his team explore the developmental trajectory underlying both the typical and atypical development of numerical and mathematical skills, using both behavioral and neuroimaging methods.

Professor Mahesh Sharma is the founder and president of The Centre for Teaching and Learning Mathematics, Inc. of Framingham, Massachusetts and Berkshire Mathematics in Berkshire, England, which facilitates his work in the UK and Europe.

Professor Sharmer is the former Cambridge College president and served for thirty years as professor of mathematics education to both undergraduate and graduate students. Internationally, he is known for his groundbreaking work in math education and math learning problems, particularly, dyscalculia and other specific learning disabilities in mathematics.

Professor Sharma is an author, teacher, teacher-trainer, researcher, editor and publisher, education consultant, and public lecturer. For thirty years, Sharma edited and published Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, an international interdisciplinary mathematics journal with readership in 90 countries and The Math Notebook, a practical journal for teachers and parents devoted to successful teaching and learning for all students.

Professor Steve Chinn is an expert teacher working on dyscalculia and maths learning difficulties.

In 1981 Steve moved from a successful teaching career in mainstream education to work with students who had severe specific learning difficulties. Little was known back then about dyscalculia and mathematical learning difficulties, so Steve became a pioneer teacher and researcher in the field. He has written award winning books and resources, founded an award-winning specialist school and lectured/trained teachers in 30 countries. His methods are pragmatic, successful and based on research and vast experience.
