Maths-Whizz works.
We've known this for some time, and our many glowing comments from parents, teachers, and students testifies to our success teaching maths.
Nevertheless, it helps to have more formal confirmation of the quality of our tutoring and to this end we recently analysed usage and performance data from 8,387 Maths-Whizz students who used Maths-Whizz for a minimum of 10 minutes per week for an average of a year. The data produced the following recommendations and findings:
- Most Maths-Whizzers should spend 45 to 60 minutes per week with Maths-Whizz. This will, on average, lead to an increase in Maths Age™ of between 1.3 and 1.6 years in 12 months of use.
- Students who use Maths-Whizz Tutoring Plus for 90 minutes a week improve their Maths Age™ on average by more than 2 years in 12 months of use.
- Students who are gifted and talented (and have Maths Age™s beyond their actual age) can be challenged and make great progress with just 30 minutes of Maths-Whizz per week.
- The majority of students will accelerate on as little as 20 to 30 minutes per week while over 90% accelerate with more than an hour per week of Maths-Whizz.
Please Note: Maths-Whizz Tutoring Plus is such an excellent tool in building a child’s confidence and motivation that most students will derive significant benefit from regular usage for even shorter periods than are recommended.
The graph below summarises the median Maths Age™ improvements for the groups of students with weekly usage times of 20 minutes and up.
