The AI is incredible. Each lesson is different, and it is engaging for students. I frequently used Maths-Whizz to explain a concept when a child wasn’t understanding. It is incredibly visual and supports students in making progress. If you have not tried it already, make sure you do, as you truly are missing out on an incredible resource at your fingertips. It can be your assistant that just bubbles along in the background.
