My name’s Wednesday — yes, exactly like the Addams Family. I am severely dyslexic (thanks, Dad, for those great genes), which means school has been one long battle. I get lost all the time, I couldn’t tell the time properly (well… until Fables World taught me), and maths was a complete and utter nightmare. Growing up, school was incredibly hard. Not “oh this is a bit tricky” hard, but “why does everyone else understand this except me?” hard. Reading felt like a wall I couldn’t climb, writing felt like walking through mud, and maths… well, maths felt impossible.
My mum is brilliant at all the things I struggled with, which sometimes made everything more frustrating. She couldn’t understand why I wasn’t “getting it,” and I couldn’t understand why my brain seemed to work differently from everyone else’s. Still, she really tried to help. She found tutors, downloaded apps, bought books, and even moved me to another school. The new school was better for lots of reasons, but sadly not for maths. No matter what we tried, nothing clicked.
Then came the expensive tutor — £70 an hour, every single week, for two years. To be honest, he was nice, but the lessons were just a slower version of what I didn’t understand at school. If something hasn’t made sense for ten years, teaching it slower doesn’t magically make it work. It was like being stuck in a loop where everyone kept speaking a language I didn’t understand, and I was expected to pretend I did.
By the time GCSEs were approaching, I was completely lost. My friends were stressing, I was stressing, and my mum was stressing even more because she didn’t know how to help me anymore. It felt like I was running out of time. Then, one month before the maths exam, Mum said she’d booked a free tutoring session with something called Fables World. I thought it sounded ridiculous — cartoons teaching maths? At sixteen? Really? But by that point, I was so desperate I just went along with it.
That single session changed everything. I’m not exaggerating when I say I learnt more in one hour than I had learnt in the previous eleven years of maths lessons. For the first time ever, I actually understood what was being explained to me — and, even stranger, I found myself laughing. The stories and memory tricks made sense, the images stuck in my head, and I didn’t feel stupid. I felt capable.
Yes, the cartoons look babyish at first, but you get over that quickly when you realise they actually work. And then I discovered you can earn rewards just for completing Quests, which honestly feels like being paid to learn. Within weeks, I went from panicking about failing to feeling like I could actually do this. And I did. I passed my GCSE maths exam — something most people, including me, didn’t think was possible.
Looking back, I feel annoyed that we didn’t discover it sooner. We could have saved thousands of pounds on tutors and avoided so many arguments, tears and late-night panic sessions. Fables World didn’t just teach me maths; it also taught me how to tell the time using the exam hall clock — something essential for pacing each section. More importantly, it taught me that I wasn’t “bad at learning.” I just needed someone to teach me in a way my brain actually understood.
If it worked for me at sixteen — dyslexic, overwhelmed, and one month from disaster — then starting earlier would help any child or teenager even more. Waiting until exam season is honestly the worst thing you can do. The sooner you start, the easier everything becomes.
Maths stopped being scary the moment it finally made sense. And Fables World made it make sense.

WHY FABLES WORLD IS THE ANSWER TO TEENAGERS’ MATHS PROBLEMS (AND WHY YOU MUST START NOW)
✅ Because 41% of teens failed GCSE maths last year
And that number hasn’t improved for decades.
Not because children aren’t capable —
but because traditional methods simply do not work for a huge percentage of learners.
✅ Because expensive tutors usually repeat what already failed
If a method didn’t work for 10 years…
why would repeating it at £70 per hour suddenly transform a child?
Most tutors mean well, but:
• they teach the same way school taught
• they speak in textbook language teens don’t relate to
• they rely on repetition, not memory science
So progress is slow — or non-existent.
✅ Because teens learn differently
They need:
• stories
• humour
• characters
• visuals
• emotional memory
• speed
• confidence boosts
Fables World does ALL of that — in minutes.
✅ Because teens need wins, not worksheets
When a teen logs in and:
– watches a 4-minute cartoon
– laughs
– suddenly “gets it”
– AND earns money or rewards
…their whole relationship with maths changes.
✅ Because we give FREE private tutoring to supercharge progress
Not £70/hour.
Not £300/month.
It’s included.
And our tutors teach in a way no traditional tutor does —
with visual memory, humour, and cognitive shortcuts backed by research.
We can confidently say we teach more in one hour than a traditional tutor does in three months.
✅ Because waiting until exam season is the worst mistake
Start early.
Build confidence now.
Transform their understanding before pressure hits.
The earlier they start, the easier it becomes.
