UKS, a leading learning solutions enabler in the Middle East, has partnered with Whizz Education, the award-winning education company in the UK, to launch Maths-Whizz Tutoring Plus for schools in the region.

Developed in association with world renowned educationalists, the Maths-Whizz Tutoring Plus for Schools is available for four to 13-year-olds through schools and at home, said a UKS statement.

The service is a personalised online maths tutor that provides students with fun and engaging new ways of learning, using award winning content and interactive animations, to teach maths concepts and provide challenging questions to test them.

The service provides personalised learning for every student. The teachers can login to access live school, class and individual reports to monitor the progress of students, thus enhancing their learning plan.

The students at the Latifa School for Girls and the Jumeirah English Speaking Schools will be the first in the region to use the online tutor.

'Both the schools and the parents were very much impressed with the service and their students really enjoyed it, as such, the Jumeirah English Speaking Schools and Latifa School for Girls implemented Maths-Whizz,' said a UKS official.

Kimberly McLean, deputy head FS and KS1 who has subscribed to the service for both of her children said, “After writing to tell you about my problems, I felt I should also write about my successes! Whizz is now working well and both my children are loving the program; my eldest has even learnt how to divide by 10 and 100!!! A great success in the McLean household. Thanks.”

Four other innovative schools in the UAE are now setting up the Maths-Whizz tutoring service as part of the school provision so parents can benefit from personalized tuition for their children.

Parents can subscribe to the service directly through the Maths-Whizz website, however, by doing it through the school there is greater integration and higher cost savings.

“Maths-Whizz has rapidly expanded across the UK & USA and we expect the same success in the UAE & Middle East with our partner UKS. The recent BBC World program Click highlighted Maths-Whizz and has contributed to its acceleration in users worldwide,' said Don Graham, Maths-Whizz UAE and India country manager.
