From 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
"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".

"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. It makes it very clear what to do".

"In May of 2006, I enrolled in the Maths and English Wiz Programs for my daughter Robyn who was then 15 years of age. Robyn was a struggling student in both Maths and English.
Robyn started using the program immediately and managed to pass a maths test for the first time in two years! She came from a failing 12% from the previous maths test to a passing 51% on her subsequent maths test. It was only one month of full use that led to the massive change in her marks".

"Last year Jan and I were worried about James's schooling, he was in year 7 and not doing very well - getting Cs and Ds. James is now an A and A+ student. He enjoys using his computer and using Maths Wiz and English Wiz. In fact we have to stop him from using it everyday".

"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

"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,"

From 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".

"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

"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

"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 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

"I have been using the Kinetic program since the middle of last year. It has been helping me a fair bit with my work especially with my maths.
I recommend the program to people of all ages and think it would help many people".
Gerard H, Year 8

"Kinetic Education has helped me to be awarded one of my school's academic scholarships. I have been able to learn and receive extra assistance without the worry of seeking this from elsewhere, and still be within the comfort of my home".

Top Achiever Testimonials
"For each subject, after a topic was completed in class, I would use the program to build and deepen my understanding of each topic. The software was very easy to use and follow. Overall, I found the software to be equivalent to a personal tutor for me to turn to in order to reinforce my learning and as a practice. 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. I am very thankful that I had Kinetic Education to help me in those important years".
Sherry, Commerce/Law

"The 'Kinetic' program assisted me with school and was easy to use. I found that what I had learned at school was reinforced with the lessons in the program when I got back home. It allows you to review any subject at home so you can be sure you understand it. I liked the fact that it allowed me to prepare for outcomes and exams. It made me feel confident in that I felt I covered every aspect of the course".
Ingrid 2006, Dental Health

"I used Kinetic Education 'Maths' to consolidate the work that I had learnt. It was really good for filling in the blanks which I hadn't understood before – because the program explained in a different way, which I could understand better".
Hemal, Dentistry

"I used the 'Kinetic Education' programs for Maths. 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. Furthermore, 'Kinetic Education' allowed me to constantly test myself and keep track of my improvement. Through consistent use of the program, I was able to achieve a high score!
Thank you 'Kinetic Education' for all the help!"
Premal, Pharmacy

"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".
