Well..

You all seem to have a strong opinion against the program, but have any of you used it? You never know, it could be really useful.. :rolleyes: (so the advertisement says :p)

Any success stories from anyone who has used it?

I'm not against the program, I'm against the naming....

it is also a damn expensive package, but as long as they give me the job i don't give a damn.

it's a load of crap.

Some one came into my house to give me a demonstration because I have a sister who's in year 3. It's like their target audience because it means 9 yrs of profit for them.

1) How can a computer replace a tutor, so without using it you know that it's impossible.

2) The program is worse than typing tutor programs in terms of educational value. It's worse than Freddy Fish or those other crap.

NEVER BUY IT.

N/A
- any business that calls itself an "institute" is definitely dodgy.
- any marketing campaign based on a targeted guilt treatment towards anxious parents is reprehensible
- there is no substitute for live human contact over a cold computer
- there are too many coaching colleges as it is
- u can probably learn maths from your friends as they will face similar problems

arghhhhhhhhhh i wanna stab those idiots who are in the radio ad. They think that by making a person stutter and say "like" more than 3 times in a sentence would somehow convince us that its an 8 year old talking. Argh *stab stab*

3600? id rather go to a proper tutor :eek:
my 3 riends who work for them, and with all the marketing they do , i wouldnt be suprised they charge that much ...but even more if u pay by installments (some ridiculous interest rates)

but i guess it may be cheaper than hiring a tutor ... that is, if you have like 5 kids...
