"We use quite a few maths platforms, but Eedi is the one we continually go back to for diagnostic assessment and for intervention as well."

The Compton School help their students resolve 94% of their misconceptions using Eedi

The Compton School, is part of the Middlesex Learning Trust in Finchley, London. Natan Janner-Klauser, a Maths Teacher at The Compton School, has been a "big Eedi fan for a long time" and all the teachers in their department have been trained to use Eedi.

Over the last year, there has been a big Eedi focus where all teachers have been encouraged to use Eedi for diagnostic assessment and for intervention.

Eedi helps students succeed in maths by providing personalised mathematics learning that's as effective as 1:1 tuition. We test understanding in over 2000 maths skills, resolve over 90% of the misunderstandings we identify through engaging chat-based lessons and close the attainment gap with live support from qualified maths teachers around the clock.

Natan and his entire department use Eedi for diagnostic assessment and intervention, during class time and for homework.

Eedi is central to The Compton School students’ ability to resolve misconceptions and build confidence during school, and at home.

They use Eedi in many ways:

  • In the classroom - "It presents very, very good diagnostic questions so we use the questions themselves just within our schemes of work. We'll just go Eedi, pick a topic, present the questions on the board and get the whiteboards out which students really enjoy. We love that we can show the answers straight away, and what the most common misconception is and have discussions about it as a class."
  • Homework - "We have also just started to use it for interventions as homework and there has been a really positive uptake. Kids that didn’t usually engage are now engaging which is fantastic. We love using it as a misconception hunter."

Eedi empowers the teachers at The Compton School to understand where their students are going wrong, why, and Eedi intervenes before they need to.

Eedi's diagnostic questioning assesses what students already know and understand, and identifies the specific nature of any gaps.

"It's the quality of the questions that we love, it’s these that make Eedi stand out from other platforms. It's the only platform where, not only will I know whether they've made a mistake, but I’ll also know why and whether it’s been resolved before I need to step in. 

And on a bigger level, I can see the mistakes my whole class is making, or even the whole year group! As a department, we’re much more aligned. We can identify where we’re struggling across the whole year group. That’s something that we would not be able to find out in the same detail from other platforms. Eedi is great for assessment and as a learning tool. Eedi’s pedagogy is what makes it stand out, all the videos are phenomenally sound pedagogy."

"The ability to pinpoint what is going wrong fast, makes every lesson easier."

"Within lessons, we are able to see the impact immediately! We can literally see Eedi resolving misconceptions on the spot so students can immediately tackle their misunderstandings. The ability to pinpoint what is gong wrong fast, makes every lesson easier.

We're already seeing high engagement amongst our students, and I'm really hopeful that this will translate into grades."
