School pupils across the UK are reporting a new-found love for homework after joining a club that makes doing daily homework more fun.
The Homework Heroes Club has been introduced by online learning specialist British Youth International College (BYITC, Supermaths) to encourage young people to complete their daily maths and English homework and to promote skills including recall and understanding.
The Club’s programmes combine classwork led by live instructors with daily homework assignments designed to reinforce concepts practiced in class. Students are motivated to complete 100% of their homework, ensuring proper learning.
“The homework is structured to involve minimal time so that children don’t feel overburdened,” explained BYITC founder and computer scientist Dr Rashmi Mantri. “There are pre-recorded videos to help students clarify any doubts while completing their homework. Inbuilt games and animations also make the tasks more engaging and enjoyable for kids.”
Pupils joining the Homework Heroes Club are incentivised to complete 100% of their daily homework by collecting rewards and green smiley symbols.
Certificates and medals are awarded to students who complete all their homework over three months. Over six months, students can win a set of headphones. For nine months of homework completion, the prize is a Smartwatch, and students completing 12 months of homework receive a computer tablet.
Parents of BYITC Homework Heroes say the new club has completely changed their child’s attitude to homework.
In London, Mum of Homework Hero Saathvik Rajesh said: “BYITC’s Homework Heroes is a game changer. We don’t have to meddle in or remind Saathvik about his homework. This has sparked his interest in completing his work on time. He’s more confident with the concepts and takes full responsibility for his work.”
In Southampton, parents of Homework Hero Yayin Reddy said: “We just love Homework Heroes! Yayin is motivated now to complete all the work by himself. The app is very user-friendly, so Yayin can independently complete all of his Homework. We think this club will really help young people reach their full potential.”
In Leeds, parents of Homework Hero Vernika Goli said: “Vernika loves Homework Heroes Club. She feels appreciated and rewarded for her efforts. As parents, we love her enthusiasm and her efforts to do better.”
In Glasgow, Mum of Homework Hero Shanaya Srivastava said: “We are delighted with BYITC’s Homework Heros Club. Shanaya feels motivated and encouraged to do her homework in time. She aspires to win prizes and certificates at different levels. We are hopeful that this will boost her performance tremendously.”
In Edinburgh, Mum of Homework Hero Nathan Mathew said: “I am thrilled that BYITC has launched the Homework Heroes Club. Nathan is a diligent child, and this initiative has further motivated him to complete his homework regularly. This challenge has provided healthy competition and greatly boosted his learning.”
The ‘standout feature’ of BYITC’s maths homework programme is a system powered by artificial intelligence which automatically checks the answers provided by students and generates comprehensive reports.
“This means we can provide feedback and progress tracking in real-time,” Dr Mantri explained. “Our team monitors how the children are getting on daily and weekly, including homework reports. We can then use this information to announce winners at regular intervals.”
BYITC Supermaths is based in Glasgow and was set up by Dr Mantri in 2015 to teach maths after she used an abacus to teach her son basic arithmetic. The college has since expanded into online courses including English, coding, 11+/grammar school/private school entrance preparation, and cyber security and now runs global franchises, including Dubai and Sri Lanka.
BYITC also has franchises in Basingstoke in England, Dubai and recently launched its London franchise in Queensberry Northwest.
