Try the Mathemagic Computer Tutor. It has worked wonders for my babies. Its controlled by the AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICS. Its a computer program for at home.

Its basic skills taught using pictures and animation.
Colour by numbers and other games. With minimal language usage. GREAT for the kids.


The Mathemagic Computer Tutor fits right into the curriculum requirements.

Much more cost effective and worth every penny!

Great - thanks for your help... i guess money shouldnt be an issues when it comes to your little ones future. What about the age group? any idea? Does it have different levels for different ages? Better still, i mihgt give them a buzz.

Mathematics Computer Tutor is great value.  you must take advantage of the course right from Primary thru to end of school, to get you money's worth.  This is a wonderful opportunity for you to make sure your children are totally prepared right throughout their school life.  Cant get any better than this course.

BEFORE YOU HAND OVER YOUR $5995There are a few things you should ask:

1) Are the lessons written in Australia in line with the NFTS or syllubus? (You'll find that the MCT was written in South Africa some time ago and follows that curricullum).

2) Are your telephone tutors qualified teachers/tutors or uni students working part time? (I met a family who's Year 10 daughter rang for help with algebra but the tutor was unable to answer the question and said he'd call back but never did)

3) What is the "Australian Institute of Mathematics"? (It is a registered company "The Australian Institute of Mathematics (Holdings) Pty Ltd" and has has no relationship with any maths institutes or society)

How many kids do you have?
What years are they in?

Check out www.kineticeducation.com.au for an Australian written program for the Australian syllubus.

Thank you for your information.  I was thinking of going with another company but chose Mathspower after seeing the link on the this education site for them.  Thank goodness is all I can say.

I think the Mathspower link that the National Education Directory has posted has proved to be invaluable to me and my family.  Thank you so much for that.  I have signed up with Mathspower, and have recommended them to all my friends with children of school age, also. My children has gained so much from their program. My son and daughter have improved amazingly and their teachers are astounded by the difference in their school exams, by getting top marks in Maths.

Please all parents use Mathspower. Great service, great product, highly recommended.

Thank you once again, Neda, regards, J. Newley
