Principal Testimonials

"In my opinion, Maths Whizz aligns brilliantly with the new curriculum refresh. Mātainuku focuses on 'holding a broad view of ākonga success and holding high expectations for ALL ākonga.’ The tools Maths Whizz provides, gives opportunity to accelerate learning and allows learners and teachers to celebrate success in maths, no matter where they are in their learning!"
Michelle Fepulea'i
Principal, Nga Iwi School
"Maths Whizz is by far, the best online programme that I have ever come across and I would have no hesitation about recommending it to any school. It provides each student with a personalised maths programme that enables them to work specifically at their level, have their own learning needs addressed and allows them work at their own pace. Putting together such individualised teaching and learning in any other programme would take hours and hours of planning. The tracking of students is second to none. Maths Whizz is a fantastic teaching and learning programme that I would never be without."
Veronica Stevens
Deputy Principal, Wellesley College
"Maths-Whizz is a great programme that develops independence and helps us cater to the individual learning needs of our students. The data that our teachers receive is easily accessible in a detailed report and assists with further development of an effective Mathematical learning environment. Maths-Whizz is easy to integrate into the classroom and makes any program more effective."
Russell Burt
Principal, Pt England School

"When we saw Maths-Whizz via a Skype presentation, we were hooked. Maths-Whizz brings 21st century learning to life as students, teachers and whanau make the best use of technology to develop not only mathematical competency but an internalised self motivated learning disposition as well. It provides rich data in meaningful, easy to access reports. Dare yourself to make a real difference to mathematical achievement."
Allan Robertson
Principal, Yalhurst School

Our school is just coming to the end of its 10-week free trial and have been so happy with the progress of our students and the support we have received from Chris and her team that we have decided to continue with the programme. The teachers are really enjoying how Maths Whizz integrates well into their classroom programme and helps build on what is being taught. If you get the opportunity I would encourage you to take advantage of the free 10 week trial offer."

"So we've been using Maths-Whizz here for a couple of years now, and one of the things that we love about it, it's especially been relevant in the last couple of years, has been the way that if our children are on hybrid learning, it's seamless. So whatever they're doing in class, they can then carry on with at home. It gives them a personalized program. It is specific to each child, so it means that wherever they're up to, it takes them to their next step and they don't need a teacher intervention, it automatically moves them on. It gives a maths age so we know where they're at as well, so the teacher can add other things if needed be, but it provides a really well rounded programme. The differentiation part is key, though, because that does take time to work for each child, and Maths-Whizz does that for the teacher. It's based on New Zealand curriculum, so we know that they are covering our curriculum and covering it well and in depth. It moves them on at the right pace that they need to be moved on at. There are certificates that are given out at the end of the term, and the children love these, and the good thing, I think, about the certificates is that it's not based on their ability, but it's based on the amount of time they've put in. So even our lowest ability children get a certificate because they've been working at it, and what obviously happens, because they're putting the time in and working on it, they actually increase and improve, and they can see that in their scores. They get the real time reporting as well as the teachers do. So I think Maths-Whizz really covers a lot of aspects of our programme. It's not obviously our total programme by any means, but it covers off all those basics that we need, plus extending the children to where they need to go. So for us, it's a really good programme and one that we're really happy to endorse."

"Maths-Whizz has been an excellent addition to our Numeracy programme. Being able to set topics for the students has meant that the programme has been able to reflect the learning happening in class. Our students have thrived on the competitive aspects of achieving weekly progressions and certificates while improving their Maths Ages. The support has been fantastic too. Emails for help or guidance are always answered promptly with clear solutions."
Matt Burt
Deputy Principal, Normandale School

"Seatoun School has been trialling Maths-Whizz this year and we are impressed with the data correlation between the initial diagnostic assessment that the Maths-Whizz programme administers, and our own assessments. Class-wide weaknesses identified by Maths-Whizz were also identified in our PAT tests, which will mean Maths-Whizz will be a valuable and reliable tool to add to our OTJ discussions and decisions. Maths-Whizz will automatically give students lessons targeting the identified weaknesses. Comments from students are also encouraging, with many indicating that they feel they are ‘learning’ with Maths-Whizz rather than ‘practicing’ as they have been with other programmes."
John Western
Principal, Seatoun School

"Maths-Whizz has been fantastic for engaging our students, especially those with diverse learning needs, including children on the autism spectrum. They like the personalisation of the programme, the level of challenge and how fun it is. Maths-Whizz has been a hugely beneficial support for the maths learning of our students."
Fiona White
Deputy Principal & Teacher, Khandallah School
"At Leigh School, we have been successfully using Maths-Whizz to support our structured maths approach for the past three years, alongside Pr1me. This innovative programme has become an integral part of our Maths curriculum, enriching our students' learning experiences. As of 2025, Maths Whizz will align with the refreshed New Zealand Curriculum and will report back on student progress within the phases.
Our students love Maths-Whizz. It provides them with a fun and engaging personalised learning journey that not only accelerates their progress but also boosts their confidence in mathematics. The programme celebrates their achievements, fostering a sense of pride and enthusiasm for their learning.
Maths-Whizz offers invaluable insights through its comprehensive data and progression tracking, allowing us to identify and address individual learning needs effectively. By integrating this resource into our structured approach, we’ve seen remarkable improvements in student outcomes.
We are proud to partner with Maths-Whizz and look forward to continuing our journey of delivering a high-quality, engaging, and supportive maths education for our learners."

"We decided to trial a number of online maths programmes and after trialling it, we decided to go with Maths-Whizz.
It’s made a huge impact, every year it gets better. This year our half year achievement levels have drastically improved and we are very pleased with the results."

Principal, St Mary's Catholic Primary School

"Maths-Whizz is a game changer for our staff and students at Rotorua Primary. Students log in, do an assessment and teachers can see achievement against Te Mātaiaho for students and their class. The teacher reports identify students who need help, and also show teachers where their gaps are and they can access engaging lessons to use in their explicit teaching, empowering students, teachers, and teacher aides. Our students are given targets to reach each week and our data clearly shows those students who use Maths-Whizz for 60 mins a week have made accelerated progress in their e-asTTLe. Our teachers feel well supported by the team at iLearn Education and the support resources that ensure our teachers have full confidence in embedding Maths-Whizz as part of their maths programme.
There is no other programme that has made such a positive impact on our maths programme at Rotorua Primary School and encourage you to give it a try!"
