We guarantee your child an A - A* in maths or your money back

We can guarantee that your child gets an A-A* in IGCSE, GCSE and O Level maths.

No, this isn't a £3,000 coaching package where we drill your child with endless lectures and homework to turn them into a math zombie.

Our team of psychologists, learning specialists and math PhDs have created the ‘Smart Learning' program to make learning more effective, less time consuming and build better learnings habits for the future — studying smarter, not harder.

A GUIDED SMART LEARNING EXPERIENCE

The 4 core principles of the QuickSense program

QuickSense and the Smart Learning program has four core principles. We'll explain why only using these 4 techniques will 100% guarantee that your child gets an A-A* (7+ in O Levels)

1. 'Master Yoda' Technique
2. Conquer your weaknesses
3. Beating the memory curve
4. Elephant eating technique
MASTER AND APPRENTICE MODEL

#1 The ‘Master Yoda’ technique

How we learned in the past

Throughout human history, 99.9% of the time we learned something, it was through a 'master and apprentice' model. When you (as an apprentice) try something, get stuck or make a mistake, the 'master' gives you feedback on how to fix and improve on it. You learn by trying, doing and getting the right feedback to improve.

This is by far the most effective way to learn something. It is the natural way humans learn skills. The only reason it isn't used in schools is that it is cheaper to have one teacher lecturing 30+ students than 1 to 1 teaching.

How our smart-learning model helps through doing

Our program recreates this 1 to 1 master and apprentice model online. As your child answers questions (we have over 3,000 exam style questions) they get instant feedback on their answers; and step-by-step explanations on how to solve them.

If they still don't get it, they can watch a video explaining the concept or read the detailed notes to try to get the answer.

Finally, after they have tried to solve the problem themselves and are still stuck, they can contact a tutor and ask them directly for 1 to 1 help (questions can be asked 24/7).

How your child benefits

Your child will learn by doing and problem-solving rather than just copying what the teacher or tutor tells them. This not only means better grades. It means better learning skills.

MASTERY MODEL

#2 Ignore strengths, conquer your weaknesses

Do you know what you don’t know?

It seems obvious to focus on your weaknesses and improve them right? But students often don't know what their weaknesses are. And if they do, they don't know how to fix them.

How QuickSense finds gaps

We can find out exactly where a student's strengths and where their weaknesses are.

As your child answers questions, our algorithm learns where they are making mistakes and where they are doing well. The questions then automatically adapt based on these strengths and weaknesses.

All your child needs to do is log in and answer questions. We take care of the rest.

REMINDERS BEFORE YOU FORGET

#3 Beating the forgetting curve

We forget 70% of what we learn within 24 hours

When you learn something new, you forget 70% of it within 24 hours. And after 1 week, you forget 90%!

This is called the ‘Forgetting curve’ and we've known about it for more than 100 years. It's the reason why studying throughout the year isn’t effective. By the end of the year, you forget almost everything and have to cram before the exam.

The good news is you can beat the forgetting curve.

How your child beats the forgetting curve, with QuickSense

If you revise a concept at specific times, you can slow down how quickly you forget the material. If you do this at the right times, you can move a concept from short term to long term memory.

There is a lot of complicated math that goes into this, but our algorithm does all this automatically in the background. All your child needs to do is log in and answer questions.

How the forgetting curve works
BITE-SIZED LEARNING

#4 Elephant Eating

What’s the best way to eat an elephant?

One bite at a time. Even with all these smart learning techniques and user-friendly apps, it doesn't matter if your child never uses it.

When we first launched, students struggled to get started with studying. It's not because they were lazy. They wanted to learn. But it can feel overwhelming.

A whole one to two years of learning all assessed in two exams at the end of the year? 3,000 questions? How will they ever get through them all?

How does QuickSense help?

The trick here is something called 'Microlearning.' It basically means breaking learning into blocks of short 15-minute sessions.

Breaking down learning into small bite-sized chunks means it is mentally easier to get started (only takes 15 minutes) and as they complete these small blocks, it gives them the quick wins to keep going.

It's the same idea behind it being easier to watch four 20-minute tv shows rather than a full 1.5-hour movie.

BUILD BETTER LEARNING HABITS

Can't my child get an A*-A without this?

Why does my child need a program like this?

You're probably thinking, why does my child need to use a program like this? My child can get an A-A* on their own or with the help of a tutor.

This is true. Some students can get an A* - A, mostly on their own (although the majority don't). But the way they get the grade and the long-term learning impact is completely different.

Creating positive feedback loops

As you can see the experience is a lot different. By going through QuickSense students not only get better at maths, they learn how to learn maths. It makes maths 'less scary' it creates a positive feedback loop.

Virtuous Cycle with QuickSense

So while QuickSense guarantees an A-A*, getting high grades is only one important part of the learning process. The best benefit is making your child feel more confident about maths and avoid labelling themselves as someone who says "I'm not good at maths."

MORE EFFECTIVE & CHEAPER GUARANTEED

The same cost as a few hours of tutoring

Like I said earlier, this isn't a £3,000 coaching program. We already had one of those (we explain the story below).

You can get unlimited access to our program for two years with 3,000 exam questions, each with step by step explanations, 180+ videos, a full set of notes and ask a tutor questions 24/7 for £367.

A good tutor is around £40 an hour, at one hour a week over 40 weeks in the school year £1,600 per year or £3,200 for the full IGCSE course (IGCSE is normally taught over two years).

What’s the maths on QuickSense?

At £367, that's less than 7.5 hours of tutoring. Our exam drop-in sessions at the end of the year cover more than 7.5 hours of material.

£367 is around £9 per week over the school year, around £1.30 per day. If used over the two years (the length of the license) it's only around £4.5 per over the two school years which is around £0.7 per day.

You can get everything your child will ever need to get an A-A* for £367.

Plus there's no risk. If your child completes the courses and doesn't get an A-A*, we'll refund you 100% within 14 days.

Why we stopped charging £3,000 for this program

We used to have a tutoring company and a lot of the techniques we used were part of a 1 to 1 coaching program we charged £3,000 per year. We had so much demand from parents that we were turning people away, we couldn't keep up.

How QuickSense started

One day we had one parent who practically was begging us to get her child into the program around halfway through the year. We were full at the time and only took on people at the start of the year anyway. But she kept calling us. After 2-3 weeks of this, to make her go away we offered to give her all our resources for £1,200 so her daughter could work through the program herself. At this stage, these resources were just flashcards we printed out and instructions on how to use them, a schedule, and a printed workbook. She gladly bought them.

At the end of the year, she called us again. We thought she was probably going to ask for a refund. To our amazement, her daughter ended up going from a C predicted graded to an A* just using our resources without the 1 to 1 coaching.

This was interesting. Maybe it was just a fluke and her daughter would have gotten an A* anyway. Unlikely because predicated grades are usually accurate. So the next year while we continued with our coaching program instead of turning parents away we started selling our resources by themselves to see what the result was. At the end of the year of the 42 people that signed up, 34 actively kept up and completed the program and of the 34 students, 31 got an A-A* (the other 3 got Bs).

This was an amazing result, we couldn't believe it. But then we realised, these students are getting great results without the 1 to 1 coaching, what is the point of 1 to 1 tutoring?

The journey of creating the smart learning program

So over the next few years, we began the journey of building QuickSense and the smart learning program.

We hired software developers, PhD psychologists, teachers and other learning experts to turn our original techniques and resources into a digital learning app. We thought it was going to take 9 months — it took 4 years.

But it was worth it, the app and program work extremely well and we're improving it every single day.

So instead of parents paying $4,200 for a coaching program, we can offer even better results for more people for £367 which is only £9 per week or around £1.30 per day.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER

Why we created QuickSense

For our founder Vivek, QuickSense is a deeply personal product — it was born from his own experience in school and IGCSE.

I failed maths. I think I was the only one in my class — it was embarrassing. It's not like I was a bad student, I got decent grades in all my other subjects. I studied a lot, but something didn't work.

I now know what that something was. It was the way I was studying. When I didn't know how to do a math problem I approached it like my other subjects — tried to memorise the steps without actually understanding how to do it. I think it's because when I couldn't figure out how to get to the right answer I just moved on to doing the questions I knew I could do. It was easier and in my head, and I was still putting in the work and 'studying'.

Fast forward a few years, I took a first-year psychology paper in university. There was a module on 'how we learn' and it blew my goddamn mind. It went over these widely accepted techniques and methods like the forgetting curve, the spacing effect, the testing effect and many others that people could use to make learning way more effective. I was hooked, I read everything I could about learning and even changed my major to Cognitive Psychology with a focus on Learning Science.

It was crazy to me that these methods weren't used in school or university! So I took matters into my own hands and started my own tutoring company that would use these psychological and neuroscientific methods.

It actually worked out amazingly, almost all of our students got A*- As in most of their subjects and they did it without having to waste hours and hours doing inefficient study and being stressed out. But this didn't scale. Because we had to manually implement a lot of these techniques, our team could work only with a few students at a time.

I started looking for scalable solutions online and couldn't really find anything that worked — they had some parts but not all. So I managed to convince two of my friends (Vinny and Hamish) to become co-founders with me and build our own learning platform from scratch. We thought it would take 6 months. It ended up taking 4 years. But it was worth it.

Through the process, we hired and consulted with PhD's, teachers, school principals, artificial intelligence programmers and even game developers. It wasn't easy, but we wanted to make something amazing.

So now we have QuickSense which is focused on maths (my white whale) — the culmination of all our learnings so far, the most effective and efficient way to learn IGCSE maths in the world.

It is so satisfying to see students using QuickSense to ace their exams without the stress or anxiety that is associated with learning. It kind of makes me a bit jealous — I wish I had this when I was doing IG maths.

— Vivek Kumar, Co-Founder of QuickSense.
