The challenge was to put together a solution that does not only answer to the needs of the students in terms of ease of use, simplicity of presentation and clarity in explanation, but also to the needs of parents and educators in being able to track students' performance, identify gaps and measure improvement. UKSUKS found in Whizz Education the ideal partner to address such concerns and to provide an online math tutoring service that really delivers quality math education efficiently and effectively." said Mr. Fadi Abdul Khalek, CEO of UKS
