Testimonials

Karin Moffat, Head of Maths, St Teresa's, Rosebank

"We registered our Mathematics learners from Grades 7-12 on MathsBuddy in January 2011 and are already seeing the benefits. Students have found the tasks to be beneficial both as an active part of their school work and as additional revision and practice. For many, it has provided the extra support that they need, foregoing the need for private extra lessons. The ability to access the website from both school and home allows the girls flexibility not found with other programmes. MathsBuddy is also a hit with the teachers! Navigation is easy and setting tasks is a simple click of the mouse. We can monitor the whole group and set tasks for individuals. We are very pleased with the MathsBuddy and find it extremely good value for money."

Dominique Clogg, Head of Maths, Kingsmead

"MathsBuddy is an extra resource and the girls enjoy the interactive programme and feel that they benefit from the extra practice. Teachers use the programme mainly in a supporting role".

"I have been impressed with the level of the MathsBuddy lessons and the real life applications that are being addressed in some of them. Our students will definitely benefit from the material."

Tanya Cull, Parent, Port Elizabeth

"MathsBuddy, which we have used since late 2010, is truly a lifesaving and brilliant concept. In the past, being able to help my child who experiences major problems with mathematics was a daunting task. I had no idea where to start or how to explain solutions to maths problems to my 12 year old. When I was told about MathsBuddy, my first thought was "ooh no, yet another so-called mathematics programme which will probably cost a fortune and won't assist my child in anyway at all!" I was proven wrong. I was simply astounded by this programme. I tested it on myself first. All it took to convince me that I had hit the jackpot was to watch a 3 minute tutorial on fractions. I could finally, the first time in my life, understand how to do fractions. I knew if it worked for a 44 year old, it would work for a child.
To our utter joy and delight, our child's marks have improved considerably giving her self-confidence a major boost. Our son, who is a high achiever, finds MathsBuddy an extremely useful tool to preview new Maths concepts. Thank you MathsBuddy for making my life as a busy mom so much easier."

I think MathsBuddy is a great product and I can definitely recommend it for Matric and Grade 11 pupils, as well as first year students starting with university. A lot of the students I see in my first year Mathematics class have quite a few gaps in their school education for different reasons.

The problem with Mathematics at university level is that we assume that they've already got the basic foundation. So we simply build on the concepts taught at school, which can really cause the student to fall back immensely if there is something from the school syllabus they didn't understand.

This is where MathsBuddy is absolutely invaluable! The student can brush up on their school knowledge in their own time to make sure that they get the foundation right before they continue with first year Mathematics. It is a wonderful program which covers all the relevant topics and explains it at exactly the right level.

I believe that MathsBuddy can benefit any student greatly, especially students who has fallen slightly behind in school.
