Proven Results

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 2,612 live* Maths-Whizz students. The data have produced the following recommendations and findings:

  • Students who use Maths-Whizz Tutoring Plus for 90 minutes a week improve their maths ages on average by more than 2 years in 12 months of use.
  • Most Maths-Whizzers should spend 45 to 60 minutes per week with Maths-Whizz. Such students can expect to improve their maths ages by between 1.3 and 1.6 years over 12 months.
  • Students who are gifted and talented (and have maths ages beyond their actual age) can be challenged and make great progress with just 30 minutes of Maths-Whizz per week.

The graph below summarises the maths age improvements for the groups of students with weekly usage times of 10 minutes and up.
