Abstract
Mathematics Learning Support (MLS), which is available in the majority of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Ireland and the UK, is traditionally available only to students of those institutions. In this paper, we describe a drop-in model of MLS at Maynooth University (MU) which has been available for secondary school students since 2009. This service is mainly staffed by volunteer undergraduate trainee teachers. Their feedback, the main focus of this paper, which has been collected over ten years, indicates that this experience has had a positive impact on their teaching practice. School students are also very positive about the support and MU enthusiastically endorses the service. We conclude that there are no obvious downsides to the provision of this type of support and we believe that more institutions should consider making it available.
在爱尔兰和英国，大多数高等教育机构（HEIs）都提供数学学习支持（MLS），但传统上只有这些机构的学生才能使用。在本文中，我们介绍了梅努斯大学（MU）自 2009 年起为中学生提供的随到随学模式的数学学习支持服务。这项服务主要由本科见习教师志愿者提供。他们的反馈意见是本文的重点，十年来收集到的反馈意见表明，这种体验对他们的教学实践产生了积极的影响。学校的学生对这项支持也给予了高度评价，而 MU 也对这项服务给予了热情的支持。我们的结论是，提供这种支持没有明显的弊端，我们认为更多的院校应该考虑提供这种支持。
