Hebburn supported living resident celebrates maths qualification success
A Hebburn man supported by Salutem Care and Education is celebrating a major achievement after passing his Functional Skills Maths Level 2 qualification.
Alex Warents, who lives at Harmony House in Hebburn, chose to use time spent in hospital to focus on improving his maths skills. With weekly lessons and the guidance of his tutor, he built up his confidence and successfully passed the exam.
“I’m really proud of myself,” said Alex. “I wanted to do something positive with my time, and the lessons helped me a lot. My professor was very helpful, and it feels great to have achieved the highest level I can in maths. In the future, I’d like to work towards a degree.”
Harmony House offers 24-hour residential care and support for up to 23 adults with learning disabilities, mental health conditions, and other complex needs. Staff say they are extremely proud of Alex’s hard work and determination.
John Godden MBE, chief executive of Salutem Care and Education, said: “Alex’s success is a brilliant example of how learning and personal growth can happen anywhere and at any stage of life. His determination to use his time constructively and achieve something meaningful is inspiring. Everyone at Salutem is immensely proud of him.”
