Caribbean STEM Coaching Club 2017-18
For the third consecutive year, BFUWI joins with its partners CADSTI UK and Future Think to launch the Caribbean GCSE STEM coaching club for students preparing for their GCSE exams. The club provides each student with an individual specialist coach to focus on their study habits, revision and exam technique in order to prepare for their exams. In addition we have specialist teachers who lead masterclasses in Maths and Physics focusing on areas of difficulty for students. All coaches and teachers are volunteers.
