Update #1 - if you put in your email and don't actually sign up, you will get an email in a day or two with a discount code for 20% off. The code they sent me was TUTOR. Worth a try to put in that code! Update #2 - If you cancel your free trial before the 7 days is up, then go back and resign up with the same email address, it appears that your progress will be saved, although I can't say for how long they will store it.

You're a real one ma'am! Thanks! This makes me really hopeful, I actually have a lot of trauma with math, that may sound nuts but it was pretty bad. Homeschooling my kid and he wants to be an astronomer, and I just freeze up when it comes to math. It's so frustrating because I'm passing on my fear of math so much he's changed his mind for the first time in almost 10 years, just breaks my heart. I hope this helps because he was so good at it while he was in school but gets so frustrated when he's stuck doing rote math over and over and over on paper.

Thanks so much for this review. I'm in consideration of sign up for this or e-Singapore math (also tempted after watching your review). You mentioned that Synthesis is a supplement program for your son. May I know what main program do you use for Math for your 9 year old? My 9 year old is a bit reluctant when learning Math.
@AmandaMelrose7 ай бұрын
We are using Dimensions Math now which is a print curriculum (but it's Singapore Math based), but what I like is that you can purchase the video lessons to go with it if you'd prefer not to teach the lessons yourself. I'm planning a review of that soon. As for an online program, I keep hearing people rave about Beast Academy. I also have my daughter do Prodigy for math practice which is a video game but you have to get the math questions right to refill your battle points or something like that. They have good parent insights, and you can do it for free (although to access the full features it's $9.95 a month I think.)

Hello everyone, I've always been a math tutor. Since I started studying at the city college and all the way through the 4 year university. Just wondering if any parents watching these videos have needed to actually find a private tutor for their kids (for math), how did you go about it? I'd like to speak with some of the homeschool institutions and see if they would spread my name around.

I wish they had some sort of pre-assessment to determine your level instead of startimg at the beginning. How long does it take more advanced kiddos to get through the program?
@AmandaMelrose2 ай бұрын
Even though this has topics like addition and subtraction, it definitely can help anyone gain a deeper understanding of these topics. You can jump around though, so you can just focus on the topics that your child needs more practice with. How long it takes depends on how much you use it. I also think they are still adding to it, as it's still relatively new. They do have a free trial so you can check it out and see if you like it!
