What Parents Say

Real parents of Maths-Whizzers share their experiences with Maths-Whizz® Tutoring Plus.

"we think it is a great programme and my daughters really enjoy it."

Philippa Spits
(16/7/2009)

"If Maths Whizz was available in his school I think they would have been able to see how good it was as each child can effectively go at their own pace and the online tutor is set up for each child's level. This would benefit children of all abilities and help to support "below and above average" UK Maths primary children."

Dr Jones, Aberdeenshire
(1/7/2009)

"She loves Maths-Whizz and plays almost everyday. She has lagged behind in maths but maths whizz strikes the right balance for her. She loves creating her own environment, her own little space in the e-world,caring for her plants, shopping, buying toys, decorating her bedroom etc. She also likes competing with her class mates."

Janet Echols

"he loves it and I hope he doesn't lose his enthusiasm. I'm sure he won't. I think it is a great way of learning. So thanks from a pleased mum."

Karen Cope
(19/5/2009)

"I think Maths Whizz is fantastic. I work in IT myself and have been unimpressed by all the "educational" CDs that purport to teach children, but are little more than silly games in disguise. Maths Whizz however is the genuine thing. The paced lessons really do try to teach and then test the child, while the credit system and rewards and games are a stroke of genuis."

Gia Luc
(1/5/2009)

"Can I mention I am delighted the progress both my children have made since using Maths-Whizz® in December. They are both much more confident and love trying the exercises as they find them stimulating and amusing."

David Gordon

"I am impressed at the service and we love Maths-Whizz®"

Kate Phillips
(06/03/2009)

"My son Connor who is 5 has been using the product for a number of months and in that time his Maths skills have developed considerably but more importantly he views the subject as fun and a game. It has also developed his IT skills and incidentally his Reading skills. Maths Whizz is a great product and has certainly helped my son, it shows us a way forward for Educating all of our Children."

Paul Malone, Southampton
(18/02/2009)

"Kieran has missed being able to do this at home and he had just managed to get onto the leaderboard for his school and stay on there. This was really motivating him to do some each night."

Jane Jeffs
(06/02/2009)

"Whizz is now working well and both my children are loving the program; my eldest has even learnt how to divide by 10 and 100!!!!! A great success in the McLean household."

Kimberly McLean
(02/01/2009)

"Thanks for signing the kids up to maths-whizz, they absolutely love it!! I struggled to get Jamie off it tonight to eat his tea. Olivia really enjoyed using it yesterday too."

Eva

Wendy
(30/07/2008)

Graeme Whyte
(15/07/2008)

"Both my children are doing really well with your programme - the results are great and even more reassuring I can see exactly where they are now and where they are in relation to their peers back home and can see real measurable improvements. After a year of making little progress I cannot tell you how this makes me feel."

Rebecca Barker
(17/06/2008)

"Maths Whizz has been a great tool. My daughter really enjoyed it as it was very colourful, active not just a set of numbers."

Alison Pearson
(06/06/2008)

"She was motivated by the shop and the pets and found the features of the bedroom a lot of fun. I thought the activities complimented what our children are learning and the tasks were challenging but had a lot of support with directions and visuals. The parent features are great and the visual graph of progress is a quick way to check on your child. Thank you for the opportunity to use the program."

Kelly
(25/05/2008)

"Our daughter is much more confident with numbers."

Michael Reynolds
(19/05/2008)

"It was excellent, easy for parents to use and attractive for the student. We liked most of the animations as they are fun but not too patronising to an intelligent child."

Caroline Hurren
(30/04/2008)

"Very Good."

Jack Swaysland
(28/04/2008)

Parent UK

"I will wholeheartedly be recommending this to my customers as an excellent way for any child to expand their knowledge and understanding, while having a lot of fun, gaining confidence and all for a very reasonable price."

Rachel Dawson
(20/03/2008)

"I am sure you get many complimentary letters but I just wanted to let you know the change in my son's attitude to maths has been truly remarkable with your program. After one day on the program, maths has changed from his most frustrating subject to his "favourite" subject. Long may it last! Many thanks."

Parent UK
(07/03/2008)

Deborah Wilkins
(03/2008)

"The service was first class! Whenever I had any queries or concerns and emailed Maths Whizz I ALWAYS received a reply with very full and helpful advice. I also got the impression that emails to Maths Whizz were taken on board and the company made excellent improvements to respond to customer feedback. My Son has enjoyed Maths Whizz - okay sometimes he moaned a little about having to do it but when he went on he did actually manage to do about an hour without any grumbles and although he probably doesn't realise it - he has improved immensely."

Lindsey
(02/2008)

"A very impressive and useful service. My son really benefited from using it regularly. It built up his confidence in all areas, especially mental maths and rapid recall."

Kathryn Moyse
(02/2008)

"It was most useful to gain an idea of a maths age which boosted my daughter's low confidence in mathematics."

Fiona Windles
(02/2008)

"I'm very happy to have found Maths Whizz; it takes some pressure off me to make sure he doesn't get bored with maths, when he actually loves it. My main concern for him was that he might lose interest in subjects before they get round to teaching him things that are stimulating enough, but now I'm comfortable that we'll be okay for another year, with Maths Whizz in our toolkit."

Eunice Chen
(25/02/2008)

"He has been moved out of the 'slow' group for maths and is now back with the average ones in his class since using the website, so I am grateful for that. He was also having 1:1 tuition from a neighbour, who is a primary head teacher, and we have been able to discontinue this since he has been using your site, much to the relief of my pocket!."

Justin
(23/02/2008)

"I'd just like to say that my daughter's really enjoying the site and doing the lessons and from my point of view, it seems like every angle has been covered. I'm more than impressed. Thank you."

Indrani Tomasi

Mrs Guerin
(02/2008)

"In under a year of using Maths-Whizz®, Christian's maths ability has moved from being below to ahead of his actual age. We are delighted!"

Samantha Richmond
(02/2008)

"My grandchildren have enjoyed the activities immensely. The way that each new concept is adapted to the progress of each child is excellent..... made excellent progress. More importantly, he enjoys maths and has gained that self esteem, which is so important to learning.This also applies to the younger one who is now at the top of her class in maths. Both enjoy the extra bonuses such as the decorating of the room and the reward system. The enormous range of activities are so much fun that I am sure that the system would benefit all schools."

Jennifer
(02/2008)

"My daughter is really enjoying the tasks and collecting credits! I look forwarding to seeing her confidence and ability increase with addition and subtraction which have always been a struggle."

David Krill
(02/2008)

"A fun layout, that really helps the child reach goals."

Wendy Kendall

"We are delighted to report that Mathswhizz helped her at a very anxious time when she had just failed the 11-plus. It built her confidence and enabled her to see that she was in fact very good at some areas of maths. Thank you for a brilliant rescue job! She won her appeal to the grammar school and was offered a place there ."

Joanna
(01/2008)

Parent UK

(12/2007)

"Luca loves it - I had to drag him away from it at times! We have had more success with it than traditional Maths activity books and Luca has been able to do a lot of it on his own, which is a bonus for me! I have seen results in terms of general ability and also in terms of enthusiasm for the subject. I am thoroughly impressed with Maths-Whizz and have been recommending it to friends. My 3 year old daughter wants to do it too."

Lucy
(11/2007)

"I really appreciate Maths-Whizz. My son is in year 3 in primary school, and his teacher recently advanced him by two maths group levels (from bottom to second from the top). This is all due to his use of Maths-Whizz at home for the past five months! Thanks for a great online educational resource."

Robert

Paul
