WHY IT MATTERS

Most young people leave school without
being taught how money works

Most young people leave school without being taught how money works

THE PROBLEM

Maths is not the same as money

Percentages and interest appear in maths lessons. Reading a payslip, judging a subscription, or spotting a scam does not.
THE INTERNAL WORRY

Will it be practical, or just theory?

Financial literacy sticks when it connects to a young person's own life. Every topic is tied to something they will actually come across, from a first payslip to a subscription they forgot to cancel.
WHAT CHANGES

A tutor who asks them to explain

The tutor does not accept a one word answer. Students show their reasoning, which is what turns a fact into understanding.
THE RESULT

Decisions they can explain

By July your child can build a budget, read a payslip, judge an offer, and say why they chose what they chose.

THE PROGRAMME

What your child learns, term by term

36 lessons across three terms, following the UK school calendar, one live lesson a week.
Planned against the Young Enterprise Financial Education Planning Framework for ages 11 to 18.
Every lesson has a core that all students complete and an extension for those ready to go further, and homework is set at two levels.

TERM 1

Autumn: Value, choices and everyday money

  • What value means and how we judge it
  • Needs, wants and the cost of a choice
  • Budgeting: income, spending, saving
  • Subscriptions, in-game and in-app spending
TERM 2

Spring: Earning, borrowing and staying safe

  • Where money comes from and how work is paid
  • Reading a payslip: tax and National Insurance
  • Bank accounts, interest and ways to pay
  • Credit, debt, buy now pay later, and spotting scams
TERM 3

Summer: Planning ahead and independence

  • Setting and reaching a saving goal
  • How investing works and what risk means
  • Student finance and the cost of study
  • Money and pressure: impulse, and how to resist it
YOUR TUTOR

Taught live by a qualified tutor

MT


Mr Toyin


Financial Literacy Tutor
BSc Accounting
29 years’ experience
He teaches every live session himself. He holds a BSc in Accounting and has nearly 30 years teaching experience, so he brings both the subject knowledge and the classroom experience to explain it in a way a young person follows.
BY THE END OF THE COURSE

What your child can do

  • Build and follow a budget of their own
  • Set a saving goal and track it
  • Recognise a scam and know what to do next
  • Notice when a money decision is being driven by mood or pressure, not judgement
  • Read a payslip and explain the deductions
  • Explain how borrowing and interest work
  • Judge an offer, and notice when they are being pushed into it
WHO IT IS FOR

Is this course right for my child?

Minimum age 10, although the course is recommended for ages 11 to 18. It follows the Young Enterprise Financial Education Planning Framework and builds through the year, so later topics such as payslips, tax and student finance suit older students best. Every lesson has a core that all students complete and an extension for those ready to go further, and homework is set at two levels, so a younger student is not left behind and an older one is not held back. No prior knowledge is needed. Email us on info@witfindacademy.com before you register if you are unsure whether it fits your child.

QUESTIONS PARENTS ASK

Answered before you have to ask

What age is this course for?
Recommended from age 11 and above. Topics build in difficulty through the year, so the later material suits older students best. Email us first if you would like a view on whether it suits your child.
Will the lessons be too easy or too hard for my child?
Every lesson has a core that all students complete and an extension for those ready to go further, and homework is set at two levels. We use the date of birth given at registration to set the right level, so a younger student is not left behind and an older one is not held back.
How much does it cost?
£324 for the year, or £32 a month for 12 months, which is £384 in total. Both include the workbook, homework and recordings.
Are lessons live or recorded?
Both. Lessons are taught live on Google Meet every Saturday at 11am UK time for 60 minutes, and every one is recorded so your child can catch up on anything missed.
Does my child need to be on camera or speak?
Cameras stay off for the whole lesson, so no child is ever on screen. Microphones are in use. They start muted, and the tutor unmutes one student at a time for a short spoken answer, then mutes them again. A student cannot unmute themselves. Most participation is still by typing in the chat. Lessons are recorded, so a spoken turn forms part of the recording.
What if my child misses a lesson?
Every lesson is recorded and available to watch back, so your child can cover the topic in their own time and rejoin the following Saturday without falling behind.
What do we need to take part?
A laptop, tablet or desktop computer with a reliable internet connection, and the Google Meet app. Headphones help but are not required. A working microphone is needed, because the tutor may invite your child to answer aloud. A built-in one is enough. No webcam is required.
Is homework set?
Yes. A workbook and short weekly homework are included in both plans, set at two levels so the work suits your child. It is designed to take a small amount of time and to apply what was covered in that week's lesson.
Do you offer a discount for more than one child?
Yes. Discounts are available for families enrolling more than one child, or more than one course. Email info@witfindacademy.com and we will apply it for you.
My family is in the USA or Canada. Can we join?
Saturday classes run in UK time. Complete our interest form and we will group families by time zone. Note that UK clocks change on 25 October 2026 and 28 March 2027, which moves your local start time by an hour.
