[AD] Help Your Child Build Confidence in Maths With Eedi Family

The last year has been difficult for parents. More and more of us have had to take on the role of teachers with homeschooling becoming the new normal for months at a time in many homes.

This is something that I have experienced myself when homeschooling my children. I’ve found it incredibly difficult at times understanding exactly what they are expected to learn or more importantly how, for instance they work out maths problems. I’d love to have a tutor to hand that could help! One of the issues I have had is teaching my girls maths the same way that they’re taught it in school. It’s changed dramatically since I was in school so consequently I have to be careful not to teach them how I learnt but try to get a better understanding of their current way of solving maths problems.

This was something a few years ago that I also used to struggle a lot with when my son, who has now grown up, was finishing junior school and heading up to secondary school. The one subject that he struggled with most was maths. There was really no online help available so I decided that I would have to get a private tutor for him so that he didn’t fall behind. However, as you can imagine that is a very expensive business and it was simply impossible to continue on a long term basis. Well, what if you could get all of the benefits of a private tutor at a tenth of the cost? Well you can from Eedi Family.

I was recently was approached by Eedi Family and their online maths lessons and I instantly thought this would have been the perfect kind of help I could have used with my son all those years ago. Help that is personalised and affordable.

1. What is Eedi Family?

Eedi Family is an online maths platform to help children build confidence in maths at home with experienced maths teachers. Their mission is to help every child build the skills and confidence to help them thrive in an ever changing world. It’s designed to make one-on-one support with real maths teachers accessible to every child, but for a tenth of the cost of a private tutor.

2. How does Eedi Family work?

It is really quite simple. You select a topic or you can let Eedi family recommend one or you can follow a tailored pathway designed just for your child. Eedi Family will design topic questions. This will enable Eedi to discover exactly what your child doesn’t understand and consequently help them tailor your child’s Eedi lessons which will ultimately help your child improve. As a parent I think is great. Sometimes I find it hard to pinpoint exactly what my children are struggling with. The fact that Eedi can discover exactly what help your child needs is great.

Eedi is not just for children that may be struggling. It can also be used by children who want a challenge, to get ahead and those children who enjoy pushing themselves. Children use Eedi to understand their homework, revise for tests and exams, or simply to get ahead by learning new topics. I don’t think anything like this existed when my son was in school. I wish it had as I know he would have benefited enormously from it.  

Eedi offer engaging lessons which have live teacher support. You can then review and practice problems.

You also can follow set routines so your child’s learning stays on track and along the way you get achievements to go on your achievements wall.

3. What year groups does Eedi cover?

At the moment the school years that Eedi covers is years 6, 7 and 8 in England and Wales. In Scotland P7, S1 and S2 and in Northern Ireland years 7,8, and 9. Eedi will be expanding soon to years 5 and 9.

4. How much does Eedi cost?

Eedi is so much more affordable compared to private tuition. The reason for this is simple. They use technology to augment what their teachers can do which is a perfect effective solution.

5. Live tutor support

A very important factor of the Eedi platform, and one that will be very beneficial to your child is the Live Tutor Support. This is available during the lessons and is the human aspect of Eedi. As a parent this is such a great resource to have available. Quite often my twins will ask me a question and in all honesty, I won’t know the answer. Having live tutor support means they can get the answers and explanations they need when they ask for them.

The lessons take place on a chat interface and Eedi teachers are there ready to jump in when your child is struggling to help and support them. Something busy parents like myself will really appreciate I’m sure. When using live chat lessons the interactions and engagement between student and teacher is much more dynamic. This is what makes Eedi an affordable alternative to private tuition.

All of the teachers with Eedi are DBS checked and experienced maths teachers gained from teaching children aged 8-15 years old.

My final thoughts

The Eedi platform was very easy to sign up to. There is a video to show how Eedi works and you can preview a lesson with a short practice topic and lesson so parents can understand how Eedi works.

Everything is explained clearly and concisely and was very easy to follow with numerous topics and lessons to choose from.

My twin girls are only nine years old so they are not quite ready to use Eedi. However, I look back to when my son was about to start secondary school. He was really struggling with maths and Eedi would have definitely been the perfect solution for him. It would have encouraged and helped him to understand maths. In addition, I thin it would have given him the confidence to learn maths, and of course it’s considerably more affordable than private tuition.

I also think that as parents this is so beneficial because maths has changed so much since I was in school. I have found this out during our lockdown homeschooling adventures as I’ve often struggled to understand it and at times I haven’t been able to help my children as much as I would like. This is where Eedi would have been hugely helpful for me and my children.

As my twin girls grow older, and if they need help with maths, I will be instantly signing up to Eedi. It’s a perfect balance between technology and the human touch. If your child is struggling, then I highly recommend you sign up to Eedi.
