From the Parents
"Ben has enjoyed using this package and it has helped him quite significantly in both homework and exams."
Mrs Frost, mother of Year 8 student, Victoria
"Amanda has found the Preliminary Program extremely helpful as it follows precisely the course studied at school...The program has certainly improved not only her knowledge but also her confidence in her ability, so much so that she has topped her class in several tests and in the half-yearly exams."
Mr Johns, father of Year 11 student, NSW
“I like that it provides Zac with a challenge. He likes to go back to improve his last score. I really like the audio part that explains the problems with an Australian accent. It makes it very clear what to do.”
Parent of Zac, grade 5, WA
From the Teachers
"I have had a number of students accessing the program and believe it to be beneficial to both struggling and more capable students alike. An excellent program I have no hesitation in recommending."
Ms Ladgrove, Enrichment Coordinator, Queensland.
"We strongly recommend it to homes for revision and consolidation of key skills and learning facts."
Mr Moran, Christian Schools System Inc, Victoria.
"This program provides the incentive for students to stick at it and improve their scores, resulting in a feeling of achievement. They wouldn't get this sort of feed-back from normal work"
Mr Mangan, chemistry teacher, Victoria.
"I find the program very useful for my students"
Dr Mishra, university lecturer (nursing).
“The effectiveness of “Your Learning Advantage” is confirmed by the large number of families using the new primary “Maths Wiz” program who say, “It is too easy” - yet the children have been thoroughly taught by the ‘easy’ program. I am most impressed that, using the program, the students have successfully learnt difficult concepts without the ‘hard work’ which is generally associated with learning mathematics through conventional methods,” Mr G. Moran, Head Master.
From the Students
"I couldn't really understand what my (school) teacher was explaining to me but this program is really helping me and I'm learning more and building my confidence in Maths. I was excited 'cos in my maths exam I got a really good score. So in the future I will be learning from this program and I'll try to get good scores like I did in my maths exam."
Nuria, Year 9, Victoria.
I used the ‘Personal Tutor’ programs for Mathematical Methods during Year 11 and 12. They were great! Not only were there
heaps of exam type examples, but also the program offered step-by-step solutions, which were easy to follow and made you feel as if a teacher was right there with you explaining the questions. And if I still couldn’t understand, there was always the option to call one of many tutors that ‘Personal Tutor’ have operating after school. Furthermore, the ‘Personal Tutor’ allowed me to constantly test myself and keep a track of my improvement. Through consistent use of the program, I was able to achieve a raw study score of 49!
Thank you ‘Kinetic Education’ for all the help!
Premal Sanghvi, VCE Score 98.8 (2004)
"The program was a help because it allowed for the practice of coursework in a way that enabled the identification of weak areas of knowledge and the strengthening of those areas. It also gave another angle at which to view the information studied and hence improve explanations when answering questions."
Jenny Herrick, Victoria - Tertiary Entrance Score 99.8% (Year 2000).
"Makes me better at maths because it helps me study for tests."
Tim, Year 8, Victoria.
“Really good – it has helped me with add and carry and borrow and subtracts, and it’s helped me with my spelling. Really great!”
Joseph (7 year-old home-schooler, Victoria).
“I have learned things I didn’t know before. This week I had 100 out of 100 for school maths. Sometimes Mum and Dad beg us to go to dinner, but we are using the program, so we don’t.”
Amanda, grade 6, Victoria.
"In year 7 I worked hard at maths but in the final exam I came last in my class. Somehow the classroom work didn't get through to me... Since then I have worked all the problems on the program as the subjects come up in class and I have moved ahead of the syllabus. In the 6 months since I got the
program I have been promoted into the highest Maths class in my year and at the half-yearly exams I came second at maths in year 8."
Melissa, Year 8, NSW.
"In late year 9, I achieved 2 'C's (much to my luck, I expected even a D). Aiming at a course in uni like computer science, these grades were not good enough. Then, in January, we ordered Personal Tutor High School Maths. In year 10, I achieved 2 'A's and 2 'B' s for maths, putting me in the top 5 in my pathway one class (pathway one is the highest level class of a subject area). To top it off, I won the maths effort award for year 10 ! I found the software to be tremendously good."
Ethan, Year 10, W.A.
