Over the next year we plan to make a number of improvements to Maths-Whizz. We aim to find out exactly what you think about us and whether there is anything that we can do to improve our method. So look out over the coming year for questionnaires and other feedback mechanisms and make sure that if you feel strongly in any way about our service that you let us know!
I will be blogging to tell you a little bit more about how our tuition system works and hopefully fill in some of the blanks that you perhaps might have. This time I would like to give you a general overview of the Maths-Whizz philosophy and what exactly we hope to achieve.
We believe that classrooms do not provide an environment that allows children to fully reach their potential and this is backed by a recent government report that advocates ‘personalised learning’. This recognises the fact that different children have different needs- some need to catch up and others feel held back.
Our desire is to help children achieve whichever of these objectives that they are seeking and we feel that we have been doing a pretty good job of this.
It is only really by stretching children while giving them an opportunity to go at their own pace that they can really achieve regardless of their skill level. This is something that isn’t really possible to fully facilitate in a classroom and that is why we exist- not to replace schooling but to add another dimension to learning. We think that this should be one in which learning is both fun and fulfilling and this is what we are working towards.
We’ve set out to help our students make the most of their childhood schooling, change their attitude towards learning and to give them the best head-start that we can in life.
