Kinetic Education Online Maths and English Tutoring :
4.66 out of 5 based on 58 reviews.

We’re so excited to bring you the Kinetic Education review! For mums and parents, our child’s education is so important and whether we can see they’re struggling or we just want to make sure they don’t start falling behind, tutoring is a great way to ensure your child never gets stuck with their learning.

For this campaign we’re excited to announce the Kinetic Education review! Kinetic Education is an Australian tutoring company supporting the Australian Maths and English Curriculum from K – 12. Kinetic Education combines online tutors and online learning. It is personalised, more affordable and flexible – making it great for busy families.

With so many children’s learning being interrupted from School closures this year, the need for online tutoring has never been so high. With Kinetic Education you can be confident your child has all the learning support they need.

The Kinetic Education Program includes:

Kinetic Education works in 4 Easy Steps:

  • Step 1: Kinetic Education will do an assessment to find any knowledge gaps holding your child back. For some, these gaps will be from past grades, for others it may be from their current or future grades. This means they can help your child regardless of whether they are the top student and you want to advance them, or if they are at the bottom of the class and you want to build up their confidence and help them catch up.
  • Step 2: Every Monday Kinetic Education will create a new learning plan for your child, made especially for them, based on what they are ready for. Normally they recommend just 20 minutes 4 times a week.
  • Step 3: Your family is assigned a tutor to help ensure your child never gets stuck with their learning.
  • Step 4: Kinetic Education rewards your child with real prizes as they learn.

It’s a little wonder why Kinetic Education has been so successful and helped over 80,000 Australian children over the last 28 years – and it’s affordable too.

For the Kinetic Education review we are looking for mums who want to improve their child’s Maths and English with online tutoring for 6 weeks. You simply need a School child between grades 1 and 10, access to the internet at home and be able to commit to 15 to 30 minutes, 3 to 4 times a week, for 6 weeks.

We love when mums submit video reviews! See what this MoM Member and her little girl thought here!

  • Would highly recommend

    My kids and I really enjoyed trialling Kinetic Education’s online tutoring program. I loved that there was an initial assessment to work out if there were any gaps in their knowledge and where they were, so that each child’s program was tailored specifically to them. It wasn’t just a one size fits all across the board lesson. And as they progressed through their program their tutor would tweak their program as needed, concentrating on areas they still weren’t getting or increasing the difficulty level where it was clearly too easy. Their progress was constantly monitored and their tutor was in communication with me at least once a week, and always available to discuss any concerns. I would definitely recommend it and will absolutely look at signing up for it in the future

  • Kinetic Education! great for helping.

    The time has come for our trial to end and after nearly 6 weeks my kids have enjoyed it, found some parts challenging, but have worked their way through it all, and enjoyed most of it, I have found Kinetic Education great with our Tutor ringing weekly and giving me up dates and helping the kids whenever they have needed it. The work is set out so its easy to understand and if any dramas we can talk to somebody, they found some children with a gap and have helped close the gap so they can understand their school work much easier now.

  • Success in the Classroom !

    Kinetic Education came at the perfect time for my family. I had noticed that my two school-aged children had had difficulties in some areas of English and Maths for sometime and I knew that these issues would create further obstacles down the line if they weren’t fixed. I tried my best to help them but I had difficulty trying to find the time for both of them on a daily basis as well as taking care of the rest of my family.

    From the first moment I spoke with Kinetic Education I was so relieved with just how easy, confident and streamlined the whole process was. They listened to my concerns for both of my children and helped me come-up with a weekly personalised learning program that fitted into their school commitments as well as their after school extracurricular activities. Professional, positive, a tailored tutoring service that provides a fun and engaging learning experience that actually makes learning fun and not a chore. Well done Kinetic Education!

  • Absolutely Loved It!

    My daughter and I absolutely LOVED the 6 week trial that we had with Kinetic Education. From the get go, staff were friendly and helpful with their weekly check ins, the reports that were sent to me via email were of useful insight to me as a mother and the actual program was a blast for my daughter! I was not too sure how it would go with her being a senior student but the weekly tasks had her full attention and she has learnt so much along the way. The incentive program is such a great way for her to stay motivated to hopefully cash in her points for a shopping voucher! A big thumbs up from both of us!

  • Education Overhaul!

    So very happy with our trial of Kinetic Education’s tutoring program. My son has loved the experience from the start (which I was thrilled with, given we have been home schooling for way too long this year!). He has been engaged and excited to do his work. It has helped him tremendously through this time, and is something we will continue with after this trial stage. I would recommend this to anyone (and have done so already!)

  • Loved by a real kid!

    Kinetic has been a great experience for our daughter in Year 4. She loves the online learning which she can do at her own pace with clear examples and fun graphics, a great tutor at the end of the phone should she need him and the chance to earn incentives such as retail vouchers for completing tasks.

  • I could recommend them enough!

    My daughter is in year 2 and is a bit behind her peers, and through Kinetic we are able to help her improve in some areas of her learning. Once she did the pre-assessment, I sent the information through to her school teacher and we were able to come up with areas where my daughter is falling behind. She is excited to reach her goal by completing lessons to get points and be able to get a voucher to go shopping. At the end of the trial, my husband and I are hoping to have her continue with the tutoring!

  • Great experience and timing

    Our experience so far with our Kinetic Education trial has been fantastic. The set up process is thorough but straightforward. The ladies I’ve dealt with so far have been lovely and friendly and so helpful. I love that there is an initial test to work out any knowledge gaps and that the program is then individually tailored to each child to help fill those gaps and then help them progress beyond them. I was able to sign up all three of my boys for the trial (9, 7 and 4) and they all love it - I don’t have to nag them to do their allotted time, they are happy to go on and really enjoy it (and that’s even without the points and prize incentives, which I only told them about several weeks into the trial ????). Overall I am really happy with Kinetic Education, I was especially happy to be chosen for the trial as it coincided with Lockdown 2.0 and a reduced school day, so I wasn’t worried they would fall behind at all.

  • Kinetic education is a winner

    We have just started the Kinetic Education journey, and I can say from our experiences so far I am very impressed. From the zoom meeting with Ally explaining the program, and to the chat with Bridget after my daughter completed her Pre-assessment, I can certainly see the benefits. My daughter is currently in Year 3, and after her Pre-assessment it showed clearly that in Maths she is excelling for her age, so her lessons will be targeted towards extension in this area. Looking forward to seeing the progress she makes over the trial.

  • Kinetic Education

    So far so good, My kids are really enjoying what they are learning and doing, and our Tutor Bridget is fantastic! We also have spoken to Ally who was very helpfully at starting us up and setting everything up for us. We have just completed our first week with good results, and I love that they send me an update on how the children are going every week. So we are very happy so far!

  • Tutoring at home

    My son (12years old/grade 7) really enjoyed the tutoring and having Bridget ring and discuss his progress each week with me. Another thing my son really enjoyed was watching his points build up for the rewards on offer, it’s a great incentive well done Kinetic.

    Bridget was fantastic and very good with communication and always available to answer any questions.

    Unfortunately from the first test to the final test my sons level dropped. But Bridget gave him another test to check if he was just having a bad day. But again his level was still lower than his first test. It was strange as each week he scored very well with his lessons but his final test results didn’t reflect this.

    I can not fault Kinetic and the joy my son had each week with his lessons. Plus the easy of doing this on line at home and at times that suited us was a big bonus.

    I am truly grateful to mouths of mums and Kinetic for this opportunity.

  • Post Assessment -6 week of tutoring

    Overall experience is very easy and smooth. The teacher assigned kept updating progress once a week or once every 2 weeks. My son couldn't use the provided service fully, like calling in when he had questions cause the calling hours were available after school hours till dinner time. My son have other extra curricular activities most days after school and needed to do his school homework before doing additional work given by kinetics. This is often after dinner, and call in hours would have ended. Or during weekends, when call in hours were not available too. Therefore, after 3 assessments, once before tutoring started to assess his current level, and twice at the end of his 6 to 7 weeks worth of tutoring, his results remain about the same. He couldn't really advance cause there was no guidance at all, thus making the same mistakes or lack the knowledge to understand the matter on his own. We, as parents, quite often needed to be the one teaching him when a questions were really too tough for him. For English, only spelling, grammar and punctuation for comprehension English will be taught. My son struggles in written composition, and this isn't something Kinetics can teach though we've tried to work around it. They can email topics for composition writing but they weren't set up to mark and comment on the writing after. In the instructions, it will ask the child to look into researching the topic and take their time in writing out the composition in their own time. After submission, they may look into it and comment back after a week, asking the child to do more research in order to gain more knowledge into the topic (for example global warming). I feel that this approach may not be suitable for a primary school writing, but maybe better for a high school student. Overall, it was still a good experience. Kinetics do try their best to accommodate our needs, just that our son may need a different approach due to his schedule or way of learning his Maths and English.

  • Kinetic Review

    After a rocky start my child was able to get in and do the inital test and start her tutoring. The Tutor was great in giving us feedback on areas that needed attention and after 6 weeks I can see that my child's skills have developed. It has actually taken her this long to find her own rythum with the process and she has taken ownership of it now.

  • Fantastic program

    My son found the program to be interesting, educational, and easy to use. He was able to catch up to the level of English and mathematics for his year and the program was tailored for him.

    I would definitely recommend it and will absolutely look at signing up for it in the future

  • Very happy

    Love this idea. Help your kids catch up, or indeed surpass their normal level at school. The rewards are an added bonus, makes the kids want to do more and try harder to get a reward. Nice and discreet, easy to do at home so no bullying from the other kids. Seems to be a bit of fun added to it all, which is essential in getting kids to learn. Overall, im very impressed with the programmes and more impressed with the end results

    Kinetic education was helpful straight from the beginning. They were always checking in via phone calls and emails. The system was easy to use. It was extremely well priced and most of all, the kids really enjoyed their daily 20 minute online tutor lessons.

  • Personalised and well ran

    My daughter is in year 7 and when I heard that she was able to participate in this tutoring - I was thrilled! She lacked confidence when it came to Maths and always doubted herself! Kinetic was a great program for her to be involved in! It boosted her confidence. She learnt that she could do a lot of the maths tasks that she thought she couldn’t and she had wonderful tutors and help list a click or phone call away! I would highly recommend Kinetic to anyone who has a child that needs that little bit of extra help!

    Kinetic Education Review #momreviewau #momreviewaukineticeducation

    My child was selected to do the 6 week trial of kinetic education. The program itself is pretty straight forward and easy to use. My child was happy doing it for the 1st couple of weeks and then he was pretty much over it. There is a tutor that checks in every couple of weeks and she was lovely. However, we will not be continuing to use kinetic education. For the cost I don't think it is worth it and you are locked into a 1 year contract with them. I have used other programs in the best and seen better results.

  • Kinteic education is awesome!

    The thing I love about kinetic education, is that it is really easy to navigate through the website. I also liked that you have lots of customization for your character although I wish it was free to change it. I also love that there are lucky draws which you can enter. However I didn't like the fact that you had to do the different tasks in the specific order instead of any order. I found the tasks a little hard to do because they kept sending harder and harder tasks.

  • Brilliant!

    We are very happy with the results of our 6 weeks of tutoring and are opting to continue!

    An easy set up, the kids responded great to the program and the incentives.

    The tutors checked in every week and were open to calls when you wanted.

    It was a great experience being able to see where my kids were at in every step.

    Having both improve by 10-20% in just 6 weeks and being able to visually show them was very encouraging for them!

    The program was easy enough to use that both my 9 year old and my very uninterested in tech 6 year old were able to use it no problem.

  • Great 6 weeks of learning

    I can honestly say the 6 weeks tutoring with Kinetic has been a great experience. Here are my thoughts

    . Its been a great way to see how my son is actually progressing with maths and English. No homework policy at his school sees me a little in the dark.

    . The maths was repetitious, which he needed to cement key learning concepts. He never liked getting them wrong. The little quizes also helped determine if he understood.

    . He loved seeing his points add up and strived to get questions right

    . I found the english a little easy at the start for him, but I spoke to his tutor and he made adjustments and made it a little harder. Again, repeatition of concepts was the perfect way to learn for him

    . Tutors ring to provide an update and they are on hand if required.

    . Staff are so friendly

    . Reassurance and peace of mind that my son is not falling behind

    . Only thing I found hard was keeping my son motivated, but that was just him as it really only involves 20 mins 3-4 times a week.

    . I feel more confident my son is at the level he needs to be, but wouldnt hestitate to use Kinetic if this wasnt the case

  • Some American Content

    Overall our experience has been great with kinetic educations and my children have mostly loved the learning.

    Over the 6weeks I have noted a few small improvements which could help better the sessions even more.

    - Not having to open a new browser to log each time as this can become annoying but also each time you go to the kinetic eduction home page a pop up chat box appears which also become annoying.

    - From a younger child perspective it does not indicate what to do next a flashing button or arrow would be great.

    - A speech button to read the full questions would be great as this is not available on all questions or some additional text this means a parent needs to be present for the whole lesson to assist with tricky words.

    The biggest dislike of mine is that some of the content is very ‘American based’ using terms or words my children have never heard of.

    A couple of my favourite features were that I was able to ask our tutor for a particular topic that my kids were doing at school or maybe struggled with and that it would not let you move on unless you showed a good understanding of a topic, this meant my children could not skip through a lesson however this could be frustrating to come children.

  • Huge improvement

    After 6 weeks of completing kinetic education tutoring lessons for 15 minutes per day Monday - Friday both my children have made a huge academic improvement but the biggest improvement I have seen is with confidence! I have 2 very different children and the programme has worked great for both of them in different ways which were outlined between myself and the tutor prior to learning starting. Having the lesson plan set out for the week meant they could break it up in to small manageable sessions and choose when they wanted to complete the lessons, before school, after school or even on weekends sometimes. It has been a bit of effort for both myself and my children to ensure the lessons plans are completed each week, as sometimes kids get tired or just do not want to listen to there parents, but given the improvements it was well worth it! Thank you Kinetic Education!

  • Modules suited to daughters abilities

    So far my 10yr old girl is on her 5th week of Kinetic Education. She likes the bonus points and has shown interest throughout the 6 week trial however during the first week of NSW school holidays slackened off. Today she worked on her maths lessons as she excels in English and leaves Math last. I will give more feedback after her post assessment.

  • They really listen to your child's need and adapt tutoring

    We're nearly finished a 6 week trial and so far I cannot complain. Weekly phone calls to discuss your child's previous week that will adapt and tailor your child's next week's tutoring. They put in stretch goals where applicable and my child loves the fact that there is a rewards program.

    So far I'm really happy with this tutoring program. I joined not to get my child up to speed, but to stretch her as she is already top of the class and needed pushing further, and Kinetic has done that!

    We had a great tutor and the customer service at Kinetic Education was excellent. My daughter is in year 7 and enjoyed the English and mathematics. The process is easy from start to finish and the weekly reports show details of all the results and where improvements can be made. Would recommend this service to others.

Mum-of-two Rebecca McCracken has spent the last four years reading ingredient lists on pretty much everything she buys at the supermarket.

Like many parents raising kids with food allergies, a quick trip to the supermarket often means checking labels, comparing products and hoping to find something the whole family can eat.

Bec’s four-year-old son and 17-month-old daughter were both born with cow’s milk protein allergy. While her son has since outgrown his allergies, her toddler still reacts to dairy, making even everyday staples like bread a challenge.

“Unless we buy expensive sourdough for seven or eight dollars, we don’t really have a choice.”

Even then, it’s not ideal.

“A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich,” Bec laughs. “And fairy bread on sourdough is not great.”

A New Loaf On The Block

Bec runs an online community for allergy families, so she spends plenty of time sharing recipes, product finds and supermarket discoveries with other parents.

It was one of those parents who first told her about new JUST bread.

“A follower messaged me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this bread is coming soon.’ I was like, ‘Where? When? I need to know. I’m getting my car keys and running!'”

Made with baker’s flour, water, yeast, vinegar, oil and salt, JUST bread contains no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.

For Bec, it sounded almost too good to be true. “When we saw JUST bread, I was like, ‘You’re joking.’ A bread that’s fresh baked but in the bread aisle? That’s unheard of for us.”

“It was really exciting for our family and for the allergy community.”

The Family’s Toughest Critic Approved

Of course, there was one person whose opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.

“My toughest critic is my daughter. She is so fussy. We know something is really good if she approves it, and she approves it. She loves it. She’ll eat it plain, toasted, as French toast … whatever. She loves it.”

Bec says she was impressed too.

“I like it. I like that it’s only got minimal ingredients and doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that are in a lot of other brands.”

A Simpler Option For Everyday Families

Bec tried out JUST bread because of her family’s allergies, but she says it has a broader appeal.

“I think everyone is becoming more conscious of additives and preservatives in their food.”

It’s a feeling many of us can probably relate to. We don’t all want to overhaul the way we eat, but plenty of us are paying a little more attention to ingredient lists and looking for products that keep things simple.

Bread is one of those foods that’s always around. It ends up in lunchboxes, on the breakfast table, alongside soup on a cold night and covered in hundreds and thousands at birthday parties. When we eat something that often, it’s only natural to wonder what’s in it.

JUST bread keeps things simple with a handful of pantry ingredients and no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It’s the sort of loaf that fits easily into busy family life without asking us to compromise on taste or convenience.

Little Changes, Big Difference

 

For Bec, finding a loaf of bread her whole family can enjoy is about more than ticking another item off the shopping list.

“It seems like such a little thing to the normal community, but for us this is a massive win.”

Being able to make sandwiches without worrying about ingredients. Packing lunchboxes a little more easily. Bringing back fairy bread for birthdays. Sometimes it’s the little things that make family life feel a whole lot simpler.

And while Bec found JUST bread because she needed another allergy-friendly option, its simple ingredient list is likely to appeal to plenty of other families too. After all, when we can choose everyday foods made with ingredients we recognise, that’s a pretty good place to start.

JUST Bread is made on a line that also processes soy and sesame.

  • It’s at a good price point for families on a tight budget and is “cleaner” but missing the mark with Canola oil . I wouldn’t be running to a supermarket for it but it’s alot better than other varieties on the market. It’s nice to see supermarkets are at least trying and listening

  • Most breads are dairy free anyway so I am surprised by this article. Additive free is a bonus. I always go for a grain bread nowadays and have the kids eating it too so I’ll be sticking with that. It’s always great to have variety out there though for the ones that need it.

  • We bought this bread from the supermarket and it is a good price for bread which of course can indeed be expensive. Each slice is a good size and our favourite meal to create and eat with this bread is cheese toasties. The bread holds and is good to eat.

  • I am so glad to hear about this and will definitely be on a look out for this in the supermarket. I have noticed that there are starting to be more ‘cleaner’ products in the supermarket, meaning consumers are being heard. We are going full circle back to how foods use to be produced before companies got greedy and started taking shortcuts to producing food items. I hope we continue seeing more preservative and additive free options that are affordable come back in the supermarkets.

  • Grabbing your car keys and running for a bread ?? I can’t imagine doing so for a bread lol ! It’s nice to see that more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and put on the market.
    I don’t agree with the statement that “A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich”. It depends on what type of bread you introduce to your kids. My kids grew up with 7 seeds, rustic bread and sourdough and they love it. It’s also quite easy and cheap to make sourdough bread yourself.

  • I haven’t seen this bread in the supermarket but will be looking for it now. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and additives for some time now and as highlighted in the article bread it difficult to find, or super expensive, without them so I don’t have it often.

  • This is fantastic, finally a bread that is not full of nasty stuff. I will be going straight out to buy this. My son has ARFID and will only eat white bread, but it’s not terribly healthy. With this bread, at least I know that it is much healthier than the alternatives. Woohoo

  • what about gluten is it gluten free thats what i need

  • I cant wait to give this bread a go (so far its always been sold out at my local woolies so it must be good). So good its suitable for those with allergies too. I think nowadays were all looking for cleaner options of ingredients in our foods so this is a step in the right direction.

  • I am glad more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and offered. I don’t agree with Bec’s statement that kids don’t like sourdough bread. My kids were introduced to sourdough and the most rustic and seeded breads from the time they started to eat bread, and they love it

  • Oh I cannot wait to try this bread! We go through that much bread each week and I always feel so guilty with how much my kids have – not anymore! Would love to see them introduce other variants in the future – multigrain and gluten free would be superb!

  • This is such a great product that I’m looking forward to trying! I’ve only been buying bread from bakeries the last few years because grocery store bread texture was so dense and unpleasant. But the hassle with bakery bread is I can’t get it everywhere! I’ll be really keen to give this a go
