From: Pat Murray, 1:28 PM

Dear Parents,

Ever worry that your kids are falling behind in maths? Or that they could do a whole lot better if only they got the right sort of help. Would you like them to get a big lift in their confidence and to see them smiling once again?

Well the exciting news is that the solution which was available to only a select few has now been made available to just about everybody.

Before we go any further, let me introduce myself.

My name is Pat Murray, and for more than eleven years now my maths tutoring programs have helped kids firstly in Australia and now also in New Zealand, UK, the USA and other parts of the world achieve incredible results – without paying thousands of dollars in tutoring fees. My programs have been featured on national TV programs in Australia, in the print media both here and overseas and also on radio. They’ve been able to turn the headache that maths often is into something that your kids can finally do and get this ….. they can actually enjoy it as well.

An Accidental Discovery

When I first started teaching in schools 19 years ago I used to think that my job was simply to help kids become good at maths. And then when I started my tutoring centres and producing my maths tutoring software eleven years ago, I was convinced that’s all I was doing……Boy was I mistaken!

After using my program, parents would tell me that while it was great that their kids were now doing so well in maths as a direct result, really that was just the start. The BIG transformation they discovered was their kid’s improved confidence and attitude. They could clearly see their kids had learned ways to become successful in an area where before they had major difficulties.

And if they’ve proven they can do it in maths, then they can do it science, they can do it in English, they can do it in sport….they can do it life!

"I really think your program is a wonderful one, and have told many friends about it.

When Brendan started he was getting 55% - 60% in his tests, he's now right back up in the 75% - 85% area which is all due to your program.

With much appreciation...Michelle"

From Failing To Flying…In Less Than 3 Months

I'd like to tell you a story about one of my students.

Walid Kassem is a Year 10 student at an inner-Sydney school. He is now in the top maths class at his school and other kids often come to him asking for help.

But it wasn't always like this. In fact just 18 months ago, things weren't looking good at all.

In Year 8, Walid was really struggling with his maths and had convinced himself he was no good at it - it was starting to seriously get him down. His parents were understandably worried, seeing he was being left behind at school, and so they spent $5,240 buying a maths program convinced that it would solve his problems.

After some time using this very expensive program, there was still no improvement in either Walid's understanding or his results. No improvement at all! Not surprisingly, he became disheartened seeing that his extra efforts were for nothing.

His confidence was rock-bottom - and his parents didn't know what to do next.

Looking for a solution himself, Walid found our website doing a "Google search." After seeing how our demo maths lessons explained things so well - in language he could easily understand and at just the right pace - he started using our program with his enthusiasm renewed.

In less than three months Walid went from an exam score of 45% to an exam score of 91% - just by following our program's simple step-by-step formula to success.

His exam results in between also showed a big improvement each time which gave Walid the encouragement to keep at it.

Stories like Walid's are not uncommon and I love hearing them from excited (and relieved) parents. I never get tired of parents telling me of the incredible effect this program has on their kids, not just in maths, but their overall confidence and their approach to tackling difficult tasks - a real change in attitude.

No Longer Scared Of Maths

"My 14 year old daughter has lifted her marks in maths by two levels. She comes home from school now happy about maths and proudly states that she now finishes ALL her maths work at school and doesn't have to bring it home all the time. Is not scared of maths anymore and has an improved ability to concentrate for longer and achieve results that she is proud of.

And you have to love a statement from her when she comes home and says that what she did in maths at school today was too easy because she has already 'done that stuff at home'."

Success Follows A Predictable Path

And while I always get great pleasure from hearing these success stories, I'm no longer surprised by them no matter how extraordinary the improvement. If this program is followed in the simple step-by-step way it's designed for, success follows a very predictable path.

There is no guess-work about will it or won't it work. After more than nineteen years teaching maths to students of all abilities, from all types of backgrounds, and specifically the last eleven years developing and continually improving this software, this program has been proven time and time again to be the most powerful maths program available.

A Great Safety Net

"Absolutely love it - can't say it enough. My three children use it all the time. Even my 16 y.o. daughter who was struggling in her senior years started looking at the CDs we got for the younger ones. She saw how much she didn't know and has now refreshed most of her maths and has caught up to the class. She says doing the maths lessons actually relaxes her because she now goes to maths class with confidence.

Everyone should have these CDs because not all students "get it" first time around, and sometimes lessons are skipped. But these CDs are a great safety net because they cover everything that is taught at school."

High Distinction In Australasian Maths Comp

"I bought the program for my son when he was 8. Since then he has been studying the program twice a week. Now he is 9 and he has completed all maths lessons for children aged 12 years. This has given him the advantage of learning ahead and the incentive to stay ahead. It only takes him about 5 minutes to do his school maths homework and have time to learn other new things. He participated in the Australasian Maths Competition this year and was awarded High Distinction (top 1%)."

But Why Do Kids Using This Maths Program Do So Much Better… And How Can Results Improve So Fast?

Well for a start we know how kids learn best, and let me tell you it’s not by working through the dull theory and text book explanations. Yet that’s the way they’re often taught in class.

I’ll let you in on a little secret here. One of the biggest problems that a lot of teachers have is thinking they have to teach kids the way they themselves were taught in university or college. They get much too theoretical and get so bogged down with the finer details that it becomes very boring, Boring, BORING!!! And the kids get totally lost.

Extensive studies, both here and overseas, have proven that the most effective way for kids to learn is by watching some examples being taught and then practicing those types of questions until they know how to do them as well. Immediate feedback is super important. And if they get stuck on something, have the opportunity to be shown again what should be done.

It sounds SO SIMPLE... and it really is! So why doesn’t everyone teach that way? I’ll explain that later.

Maths can be easy to learn and results can improve real FAST! When the simple but powerful methods used in our program are seen, don’t be surprised if your kids start screaming "Why don’t they teach me like this at school? This is too easy!"

"I have been using this program from the start of year 8, and I have been getting outstanding results. In my previous test, I have gone from 45% without using the program to 91% using the program, just in 3 months. This program has been giving me confidence and understanding."

So Why Do So Many Kids Struggle With Maths?

Think back to when you started to learn to drive. Were you pretty excited and ready to plunge in? Of course you were.

Now let’s imagine that before you were allowed to jump in the car, your mum or dad or older brother or sister made you sit down and wade through a whole lot of boring stuff about how a car works; how the engine operates and all the parts that make up the engine; how they relate to each other; what the carburetor does; the fuel injectors; how the pistons work, the radiator, the brake cylinder; the importance of the timing belt, etc. WHO CARES???

You probably would have given up wanting to drive before you even started!
Well that’s how a lot of kids find maths. They would actually enjoy it and be able to power through it if they were allowed to just get stuck in and do it.

The fact is unfortunately most kids are taught using methods that are far from simple. Many teachers get so bogged down trying to show off the finer points in maths that they lose the kids before giving them a real chance to get it – and it’s not the kids fault!

And that’s exactly what makes this program so different and so incredibly effective - just how well the lessons are taught. From years and years of experience, I know that the best way to help kids to understand maths well is to keep it simple.

Get rid of all the boring and unnecessary stuff that complicates things, make use of some pretty darn impressive technology that we’ve designed, and a maths lesson can actually be interesting and make a whole lot of sense!

Kids Struggling With Maths And Need Help? – Click Here

How Can I Afford To Get My Child Help When People Tell Me That A Good Maths Tutor Will Cost $45/hour?

A good maths tutor will ideally have a load of experience teaching kids for a good number of years in the classroom across all abilities. They’ll be able to teach difficult concepts in an easy-to-understand way. And they’ll know the difference between what material is examinable and what are just "syllabus fillers" – I know it took me about eight years of teaching before I fully understood this critical point myself.

So if you can actually find a good maths tutor, you’re ahead of most people. At this point you’ll need to understand how much help your child will need. Research has proven (and you probably already know this) that it’s far more effective to do a smaller amount of study and repeat this 2-3 times a week than it is to do one large chunk of study once a week. It’s the same with maths tutoring.

Why 3 x 20 minutes Is More Than One Hour

Your child’s results will improve much faster if they can get help for 20-25 minutes at a time, and do this 3 times a week than if they get a one-hour session each week. And the rate of retention of this work is much higher as well.

So as a bare minimum the cost you’re facing is $45 per week (one-hour session) or two half-hour sessions which would cost altogether $50-$60 per week. Over the space of a year then you can expect to be paying between $1800 and $2400 for a tutor – and that doesn’t include any extra lessons they might need leading up to exams or during holidays.

When I stopped tutoring a few years back, students were paying me $48-$55 per hour and I would tutor up to four students at a time – I limited myself to four students because any more than that I wasn’t convinced I could give them great value for their money. Besides me tutoring these kids personally, I gave them my maths programs to use regularly at home and particularly leading up to exams – I couldn’t possibly cover everything they needed help with before an exam but the program could!

At the same time we were finalising some major changes to our maths tutoring programs to make them more accessible to more people. So even though parents were happily paying me $2200 per year or more to tutor their child for just one hour a week, we were busy working on a way where I could effectively tutor kids as many times as they needed for only a fraction of the cost.

So How Much Does This Program Cost?

Each year of the program consists of about 120 lessons, each taking 20-25 mins. If I was to teach your child personally these exact same lessons, you would be looking at an annual cost of about $2,250 – and that doesn’t include any revision lessons. Back in 2001, when we started out selling our program on CD-ROM, people were paying us an average of $4,350-$5,200 for the full High School maths program. Big money you’re thinking? You bet it was. But check out the results…

The families who could afford it were absolutely thrilled by the super results – kids topping their class; rapid improvement; big boost in confidence; all up they had happier kids with a much healthier attitude as a direct result of using this program. So even though it cost a lot of money, parents told us all the time it was worth every cent.

But there was one big problem which I wasn’t happy about. Plenty of families, in fact the majority of families, just couldn't afford it at that price and these families were the ones that I was most keen to help!

We had a program that parents were typically spending around $140-$170 per month paying off. And I wasn’t going to be happy until we could get the price down to about $6 a week.

Because I knew that if we could get the price down that low, then ANYBODY who needed help could afford to get it.

"I just wanted to let you know that I have learnt more over the past few hours then I ever learnt at school. It's fun and it's easy! Which is very surprising being that I learnt basic arithmetic to grade seven and that was way back in prehistoric times. So well done.

As a mother I want to help our 15 year old son who is struggling with year ten maths. Once again big thanks for such an excellent programme."

The Best Bargain You Ever Received!

And we had to do this without compromising the quality or effectiveness of the program one bit - in fact we wanted the new program to be even better!

So we took a calculated risk in deciding to spend a huge amount of time and money in developing the program so that it could be delivered over the internet in a way that gave kids immediate help when they needed it AND didn’t cost as much. End result is that we now help many, many more kids at only a fraction of the cost!

By being able to demonstrate the program fully on the web, we then didn't need any salespeople. Now typically salespeople earn around 24%-32% of a sale price. So for a program that was once costing $5,200 the salesperson would earn around $1352, and once telemarketing costs are added on, you're looking at a real cost of close to $1550 for each sale.

Another thing that is super expensive is advertising in mainstream media - radio, TV and print. When a company spends hundreds of thousands of dollars every month on adverts, then the only way they can get that money back is to include it in the price - in other words, the customer (you) ends up paying for it.

So we had to do something different to be able to bring our price way down. And that was to focus on getting word-of-mouth referrals from our happy customers.

Because kids using our program get the type of results they do, parents are only too happy to help us “spread the word”. In fact you're likely to be reading this now because one of your friends has recommended us or you've seen a media story about us on TV or in the newspaper. While plenty of people will say that's the slow way of doing things, it's one that has enabled us to slash our prices and allow parents for the first time to give their kids all the help they need so affordably.

You Won’t Know How Good This Is Until Your Kids Try It

So we've made it easy by making it available to you online for only $39.95/month. That way you can make a decision NOW to get your kids starting this incredible program IMMEDIATELY. You don't have to wait a day, a week, a month thinking about it, you can start this program right now.

So by investing just $39.95 you can really put the program through its paces to make sure that what we're claiming stacks up. We know it delivers on everything we say it does - thousands of families have told us. But the critical thing here is, you've got to be sure yourself.

And if after a month using the online program, you're not satisfied, just email letting me know and I'll refund your money - no questions asked.

We'll Be Back

"My daughter passed her tests for the Australian School in Singapore with flying colours (99% pass mark)! Not bad, considering she has been studying in different systems for the last 2 yrs. She loved learning from your website and practically devoured every lesson - the presentation style made it possible to go through the material in a very short time and the practices were great. We will most certainly be back when her brother's time comes."

Sounds Amazing – All This Great Help At Such A Low Price. Pat, Is There Anything You’re Not Telling Us?

However there is just one catch… not everyone is free to join us long term. I'm not interested in parents signing up their kids if they think this is some sort of magical pill that gets swallowed and you instantly become a maths genius. Maths can become reasonably easy for your kids if they are prepared to put in about 20-25 minutes of work on this program 2 or 3 times a week.

After eleven years of working with parents and kids using this program, there is something you must know up-front: This program isn’t for everyone. For these following reasons – lack of motivation, couldn’t be bothered, can’t find the time – I know that 17% of students who try out my program will not succeed with it. And that 17% figure has been amazingly constant over the past eleven years – sometimes a touch more or a touch less – but that’s the figure. It also means 83% of kids do succeed with this low-cost program and the good thing is you’ll know within a month which group your child is in.

So by all means use the first month as a trial. Some encouragement from Mum and Dad always helps without doubt. But if, after a month, you find yourself battling with your child to get them to use the program or you notice that they’re trying to take short-cuts, pull the plug on the program. It won’t have cost you anything – we’ll refund any payment you’ve made to us immediately.

What it will probably mean though is that you’ll need to search for a good tutor who will need to sit down and try to motivate your child one-on-one each week at about $45 a pop – that unfortunately will cost you big money.

The 83% of kids that do respond well to this program though really lap it up… and end up saving Mum and Dad a small fortune on tutoring fees. They also learn an important life-long skill – the ability to overcome difficulties by finding the right tools to help them, and then applying themselves to use them. The satisfaction and change in attitude gained from this process can be staggering.

But What If I DON'T Want My Kids Using The Internet?

There are plenty of valid reasons why you might not want your kids using the internet too much and believe me, I can certainly understand where you’re coming from. That’s why we offer the program on CD-ROM as well.

Each CD-ROM contains two complete years of coursework for just $495. And given that’s an incredible 240 lessons covered, it works out to be around $2 a lesson – The Value is AMAZING especially when you consider if I were to come and personally teach your child these exact same lessons, you would be paying me at least $55 for every two lessons.

Listen, I don’t blame you if you are skeptical. I’ve been ripped off before reading what turned out to be just a whole lot of hype, buying something that didn’t live up to its expectations.

That’s why you’re backed by my personal…

12-Month No-Risk
100% Money-Back Guarantee!

If you’re not satisfied, for whatever reason, then just return the CD-ROM program to us and I will refund every cent. I will treat you the way I want people to treat me - with trust and honour.

And I’m not going to grill you as to why you are sending it back. All you’ve got to do is return it. Your word is all I need.

"Firstly I would just like to say thank-you for being a business that will accept an honest mistake as opposed to simply trying to grab every extra cent you can and also for your quick response. I certainly appreciate it!

Secondly it gives me the chance to say that I have recommended your site to several people as I am incredibly impressed with it. I only got on to your site accidentally as I am in my last year of teacher training and was looking at maths sites for a maths assignment. I'm sure I will have plenty more opportunity to recommend your site to others when teaching in my own classroom next year.

Thanks once again."

"I currently have a subscription with you. I just want to say the service you are providing is BRILLIANT! I am doing pure maths via TAFE and your explanation and method of "Factorising Non Monic Equations" is so much easier to do than the method TAFE is using (trial and error).

This is making my life so much easier. I wish I had this when I was at school - thank you!"

 

Feels Like The Tutorials Are Really One-On-One

“I found the program exactly what I needed for a review of the basics. I'm 40, and although it's directed at high-school kids, I did not in any way find it condescending. The small units are quick and easy to digest, and rather enjoyable to work through. The search function was useful as a quick reference.

Finally, your voice is natural and easy to listen to, giving the feeling that the tutorials were one-on-one. Thanks again!”

Never Too Late To Start… Even At 77 Years!

"Hi Team,

What a pleasure it is to learn a subject ie. mathematics using your program. I am 77 years old and find it a lot different to the way we were taught. I have a one month subscription ending this month and I am about to cancel it and purchase the CD.

Many thanks and kind regards to you all."

"Dear Pat,

Just to let you know that I passed the maths test with flying colours. This is due to the fact that I enrolled in your Math's training programme. I could never understand fractions as a child and at 50 years old I did not believe I could understand fractions now but your teaching system is outstanding. It is easy to follow and understand. The programme is set out in a logical sequence which for someone like me is very important.

My son is attending Year 12 next year and you can rest assured he will be enrolling in your advanced math's programme. Well done on having a superior math's teaching programme. I will be singing your praises to everyone that needs math's coaching.

Once again Pat, A big thank you.

Yours Faithfully, John"

Now They Ask Me For Help

"I used the program for 18 months. I am 37 years old and with this course I went from leaving school in 1984 at 14 years old with all grades basic, returning to school 20 odd years later. I knew nothing. With this online course I went from being the dumbest in class to being the person people asked for help with maths...now I’m a Qualified Drafting Engineer."

Which Plan Is Best For My Child

Because we offer our maths course as both an online and CD-ROM product our plans are both flexible and convenient.

Families who want the benefit of owning the program so it can be used over a period of years can purchase the CD-ROM. Or perhaps there are younger siblings who will need the program in the future. This makes the CD-ROMs a particularly good choice for families with a few kids.

On the other hand, parents unsure if their child will use the program can take out an inexpensive online subscription knowing they can cancel at any time.

"Dear Pat,

The children absolutely love your maths program and have ditched the other program totally for it. I asked them what were the best aspects of yours and they said:

• it was very clearly set out
• the tutorials always coincided with the exercises (except the challenges which could easily be worked after re-consulting the tutorials)
• even though there were more exercises, your exercises were shorter so they didn't feel overwhelmed
• the exercises were a good length, not so long that you "turned off"
• they also liked that you just click on the login with no typing to sign in
• the menus etc... are all very easily set out

Thank you once again for this program."

• This amazing program really teaches your kids - it takes the pressure off them and takes the pressure off you.

• You can finally stop worrying knowing that your child won't be left behind.

• It allows the kids to pause, rewind and repeat all or part of any lesson until they fully understand it - they are in complete control of the pace.

• It gives your kids the freedom to study without stress, at home, in their own time, at their own speed.

• You'll see your child's confidence in their own ability dramatically improve and see them develop a "can do" attitude across wider areas.

• Kids can catch up on lessons they missed or ideas and concepts they have not fully understood - and there are no distractions as there often are in a classroom of 25 noisy kids.

• Lessons can be previewed at home before they take them at school - the kids who do this are more confident in class.

• Worksheets accompany every tutorial to test your child's understanding. All of their results are recorded so that you can monitor progress easily.

• It is far more affordable than a private tutor, it's available whenever and wherever you need it - it will literally save you thousands of dollars!

• And above all, it works!

And finally, let me say that I sincerely would love to be involved in helping your child really excel in their maths. I’ve already been able to help thousands of kids just like yours, from all around the world, finally achieve success in maths.

And it’s not rocket science. I break it down to some pretty straight-forward steps, skip all the maths jargon that gets in the way, and concentrate on the important stuff your kids need to know to finally understand what’s going on.

This Is Exactly What I’ve Been Looking For
