DO NOT USE THIS ‘SERVICE’

DO NOT USE THIS ‘SERVICE’ - THEY ARE CON ARTISTS
I’d give 0 stars if I could. First lesson, son was not picked up from classroom and no one from the MM team even followed this up. When I raised this, they said he wasn’t registered even though I had proof!
Anyhow, my son’s very academic and loves maths but stopped enjoying it. They didn’t even try to help him or find a solution. They refused to make adjustments and point blank refused to provide us with a refund.

They take money without making you aware!!!

Signed up to an offer for 3 months and they continue to take card payments monthly once the offer runs out, I never agreed to this and will be making a claim through my bank if they fail to refund! Really annoyed that I wasn’t made aware! My daughter was never interested in the online work.

Hi Ellie,

We wanted to get in touch to apologise for your experience with our old booking system, despite it being so long ago!

Magical Maths underwent a change in ownership in late 2020 and the first thing we actioned on as a new Head Office team was to remove any unclear charges from the booking system that we inherited.

Magical Maths Online is now offered for free with all afterschool club bookings and nobody is ever charged beyond their initial booking under any circumstances. We feel that this can only help us with our goal to make maths fun for as many children as possible!

Whilst your experience is not one that is shared with anyone moving forward, we would like to apologise again that you were not made aware of recurring charges under the old system.

Yours mathemagically,
The entire Magical Maths team.

Great fun, educational and chance to interact with other kids

The maths sessions have been great for us as we have been homeschooling. It’s helped to have a more fun element to maths and allowed my daughter to interact with others, something she has greatly missed. The activities have been fun and educational and she had learnt a lot

Great, fun course.

My daughter completed a 5 weeks course and really enjoyed the worksheets and games. It's a great way to enjoy maths and help improve the basic arithmetic skills. The only improvement my daughter mentioned was seperating the ks1 and ks2 more. I think she felt a bit self concious with the older ones in the same room but I guess that could differ between schools dependent on room availabilty...etc.

My son has been going to magical maths and is really enjoying it, he comes home full of enthusiasm and loves telling us about the new tricks he has learned. I would recommend magical maths to any child who doesn’t enjoy maths as it may just help them to learn to love it!

Fantastic

My daughter has had a brilliant six weeks with Magical Maths and is gutted that it has come to an end. She comes home each week eager to try out the latest "trick" and we have enjoyed looking at the photos with her. We have bought the mythical creatures card game, which even her four year sister has started playing.
She can't wait for Magical Maths to start again at Leasingham St Andrew's.

Watch the payments

Whilst the sessions are good my son really enjoyed them BEWARE they set up a recurring payment on your card when you initially sign up then charge you a monthly fee for online work sheets .I cancelled the payment and contacted them but now another payment has been taken again I've been in contact even offered a refund but now nothing no money they have gone quiet its shocking so just be aware and check your statements .

Happy Parents!!

My little boy has just completed his last session of Magical Maths. He's loved every session and has been keen to tell me what he's done as soon as he comes out. He's keen to join next time the club is running at school 😊

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her…

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her Magical Maths course and was disappointed to find it had ended. Her excitement about the things she had learned each week led her sister to lament that it wasn't around when she "was a kid" (she's 13). We've all enjoyed being the subject of each week's magic tricks, and are happy to see how delighted she has been to learn more about maths.

A fun and personable environment!

I am so impressed with the communications that have been so forthcoming. Theo loved his time with you and the leaders who took the class.
He was particularly sad to say bye to John.

I’m really pleased that you created such a fun and personable environment for our children to learn in 😊

Amazing maths experience

Thank you Professors for making maths fun and being so caring - my children have really had a lovely time with you. They have come home every week excited to show the family what maths tricks they can do and look forward to joining your club again soon.

Hi Khadija - that's really amazing to hear! Glad your children have been showing you their tricks (I hope they haven't been revealing how they're done though! That's 'top secret' for children only! 😜) Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, and we'll look forward to seeing them again soon!

Well done professor Poopenshtinken

Well done professor Poopenshtinken! My children absolutely love the club !
They come home after each session buzzing. Their confidence has grown and they now know that maths is not a scary thing! Can't thank the team enough, so much so that I have recommended it to the school I work at to help others who have a fear of maths.

My son absolutely loved Magical Maths

My son absolutely loved Magical Maths. Apparently it was the best day of the week!
The club was creative and fun and he loved coming home to show us the maths 'tricks' that he'd learned.
He said that the teachers running the club were fun and kind and he enjoy all of it.
He would definitely be interested in going again and was very sad when he realised this was the last week!

A fun programme to build confidence and ability

I asked my 7 year old:
What do you like about Magical Maths?
“The maths games we play and the actual maths that we do”
How could Magical Maths be made better?
“I think it’s already good, they can’t make it any better”

My son has completed 2 programmes with Magical Maths and I enrolled him to help build his confidence as he had a belief that “Maths was hard” but coming to Magical Maths has broken that myth for him. He talks excitedly about the games and activities and always tries the tricks out on us back at home!

Thank you for a stimulating programme that has really improved confidence for my so in tackling maths problems.

Hi Gemma,

This is so amazing to hear from your son. Awesome that he feels it can't be made any better and that it's broken the 'Maths is hard' myth - that's the exact result we work hard to achieve! Really glad that's he's got so much out of it, and huge thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts. It's really appreciated. 😊
