Results (return to previous page)

Here are some of the results achieved when I taught my own children using the techniques described in Genius in 28 Steps:

• Zuliekha received a grade A in A-level maths at age 9 — the joint youngest of all time to achieve this feat. Now 14, Zuleikha has straight As in A-level maths, further maths, and physics; she has also completed courses from the Open University in biology and astronomy.
• At the age of 15, Iskander graduated with a First Class Honours from the University of Warwick's four-year MMath programme after having started his degree at 12. Shortly afterwards, he completed an MSc in Computer Science at Imperial College London.
• Sufiah entered Oxford University to read maths at age 13.
• Aisha entered university at the same time as Iskander, except that she was 15 to Iskander's 12. She is now finishing her PhD in Mathematics Education.
• Four of my kids — Abraham, Aisha, Sufi, and Iskander — were ranked among the top 5-10 players in the country for their age group in junior tennis.

Of course, any child can achieve results just as good by using the balance method.

In fact, I fully expect that many children in the future will do even better, as I brought up my children in very difficult circumstances — I was in a foreign country with little in the way of support or resources, practically a single mother, and far from wealthy. But that's another story!
