Reviews

"Maths Wiz is really exciting, it never gets boring because you can follow what you’re doing at school and sometimes you can even skip ahead a bit and so when you get to learning that at school you already know it."

Ebony, Grade 5 Student

"The programs can give parents a great sense of direction and a sense of structured involvement which will give them great satisfaction. Most children will learn much better. It’s interactive, individualized, special, and it works."

Dr Janet Hall, Psychologist

"I found the programs to be equivalent to a personal tutor for me. I managed to attain not only a high score, but a deep feeling of satisfaction in that I had done my best and had gone beyond my limits."

Sherry, Grade 12 Student

"I am most impressed that, using the Maths Wiz program, the students have successfully learnt difficult concepts without the 'hard work' which is generally associated with learning mathematics through the conventional methods."

George Moran, Principal

"To me it's better than school as it's a lot more fun. I really enjoy using the computer. I try and use the program every week and I do get most of my activities done. I'm feeling happier about my studies."
