Every workshop is designed around how young people actually learn: through doing, experimenting, and seeing the consequences of their choices in a safe environment.
The perfect introduction to money for young children. Through stories, games, and hands-on activities, participants learn to recognise coins and notes, understand that things cost money, and start thinking about saving towards goals.
Each session uses age-appropriate scenarios: choosing between treats at a pretend shop, deciding how to divide pocket money between spending and saving, and understanding why some things cost more than others.
As children approach secondary school, their financial world expands rapidly. This programme bridges the gap between childhood pocket money and the more complex decisions ahead.
Participants explore budgeting basics, learn how banks work, and understand the difference between debit and credit. We introduce concepts like interest through relatable examples, showing how small amounts grow over time.
Teenagers face financial decisions that can have lasting consequences: their first job, managing a bank account, navigating peer pressure around spending. This programme prepares them thoroughly.
We cover practical skills like reading payslips, understanding tax, building credit history responsibly, and spotting financial scams. The curriculum also addresses the psychological aspects of money: why we overspend, how advertising manipulates us, and how to make decisions aligned with personal values.
Money conversations at home can be awkward. This workshop brings parents and children together to learn as a team, creating shared language and practices that make ongoing discussions easier.
Families work together to create budgets, set savings goals, and discuss values around money in a facilitated environment. Many parents tell us they learn as much as their children.
For families who prefer individual attention or have specific learning needs, we offer one-to-one sessions tailored entirely to your child. Our educators adapt content, pace, and style to how your child learns best.
Private coaching is also ideal for teenagers preparing for specific milestones: receiving an inheritance, starting a first job, or heading to university.
We work with primary and secondary schools across Edinburgh to deliver financial education within the curriculum. Programmes can be customised to fit your school's structure and existing PSHE content.
Our school workshops cover the same rigorous content as our public programmes, adapted for larger groups and classroom settings. We handle all materials and assessments.
The Teen Money Mastery programme could not have come at a better time. My son was about to start his first Saturday job and had no idea what to expect from a payslip. Now he understands tax, national insurance, and has even set up a savings account on his own.
Each session starts with a quick scenario or puzzle that connects to the day's topic and gets participants thinking.
We explain new ideas using stories, examples, and visuals rather than dry definitions. Questions are encouraged throughout.
The bulk of each session involves doing: simulations, games, group discussions, and practical exercises that make concepts concrete.
We end with a discussion about what surprised participants and a simple action they can take before the next session.
