See what Mumsnet testers thought of Eedi Family’s improved online maths lessons

[JustineBMumsnet]

This is the feedback thread for the Mumsnet users who tested Eedi Family online maths lessons with their child aged 9 to 14. Eedi Family is an online Maths learning platform that provides interactive maths lessons for children to build confidence in maths, and following a product test last year, Eedi has implemented a lot of testers’ feedback.

If you'd like to take part in this product test, we're still recruiting for testers to take part in the next couple of weeks. You can sign up here.

Here’s what Eedi has to say: “We believe that every child has the potential to thrive in maths with the right support. Eedi Family helps children build maths confidence at home while giving you the peace of mind that your child is making progress in maths in these turbulent times. Eedi will not only motivate your child to practice Topics they need to review, but our learning companion and live expert maths teachers will help your child improve in maths quickly with tailored feedback - so they can spend less time on devices and more time offline.

This is our second time on Mumsnet review - on our first early iteration we tested our beta product and got amazing feedback from Mumsnet testers. We’ve implemented much of that feedback, in particular:

- Children can now search for any topic so they can match what they’re doing in school (you still have recommendations though!)
- Children can now take a Lesson before reviewing Topics if they need a refresher
- We reduced Lesson and video length and encourage shorter but more frequent use
- We increased availability of live teacher support during the Lessons
- Added Achievements and Routines to increase motivation - this is a space we’re actively working and would love to hear your feedback here

We’re excited to engage with the Mumsnet community again and learn from your feedback.

Join us in trying an affordable alternative to private tuition that helps your child try their best and want to keep learning.”

Selected testers received a one month free trial of Eedi Family and were asked to complete at least one virtual lesson and quiz per week.

1. What did you like most about Eedi Family?

We liked the interactive lessons even though the tutors are only available at certain times so you need to plan around them. My son liked the way the topics are taught and the teams which provided a competitive edge. The work seemed to be at a reasonable difficulty level for him.

1. What was the best feature of Eedi Family?

The streaks, son liked that you could get multiple streaks in one day.

1. What did you and your child think of the chat-based lessons with our learning companion Eedi and our tutors?

We liked it because it felt like you had someone around to help you.

1. How would you describe Eedi Family to a friend?

A good resource to improve maths knowledge. We are using it to consolidate knowledge in preparation for the next phase and it seems to be achieving that.

We had a time when the trial was cut off before when it was supposed to end so there was a break for us. The Eedi team sorted it out quickly as soon as we let them know.

1. What did you like most about Eedi Family? It was fun for my son to use, modern and easy to use for him. It felt like fun.
2. What was the best feature of Eedi Family? Very clearly laid out and accessible to use.
3. What did you and your child think of the chat-based lessons with our learning companion Eedi and our tutors? He enjoyed them and used the chat function a lot!
4. How would you describe Eedi Family to a friend? Fun, interactive and educational learning.

I’m late to the party but I wanted to say how delighted we are with Eedi.

We really like the fact that DS can work at his own pace and can independently seek help. He also had a session with a tutor which was really useful abs helped him to really understand his lesson.

The online live session was great but the bot was a little repetitive.

Eedi is the perfect solution for busy children and their parents. It offers everything tutoring does but with total flexibility. Superb!

I find Eedi to be incredibly frustrating. Every Friday I face the overwhelming pressure of completing my Eedi tasks and the threat of a detention looms over me if I don't. This system feels less like a learning opportunity and more like a punishment. School should be a space for students to learn while home should provide a restful environment to reflect on what we've learned. The consequences of detentions often force students to skip lunch denying them a basic need. Many people don't even attempt to answer the questions they either guess or simply use AI to get the answers.
