Quick plug to read up on ‘raising standard in maths with online tutoring‘ in this month’s edition of PIR Education magazine.

(Raising standards in maths - PIR Education)
Some great coverage of our efforts to boost maths standards in schools and home:
Maths-Whizz, which first appeared at BETT in 2006, returns this year with the latest generation of its animated maths teaching tools. The company’s method is to make services that work simply to raise standards in maths, regardless of the classroom environment, the student’s year group or the prevailing new vs. old maths agenda. For this, Maths-Whizz won a BETT award in 2006 and has since been adopted in domestic and schools markets as diverse as Mumbai, Seattle and Tunbridge Wells. The company has further boosted its credentials with two BETT award nominations this year.
