We love this program!!

My son is really resistant when it comes to learning due to being twice exceptional. He feels he should already know what is being taught and gets frustrated when he doesn't. Math is taught using videos, games, and worksheets so while he knows he is learning, it is in a different way so he doesn't fight me on doing the math. He is doing the pre-algebra review.

After much independent research and convos with Thinkwell, we were able to make determinations about what would best serve our children regarding ACT testing and college admission. Thinkwell’s advice matched my independent personal research regarding what math to take, and the programs are set up for student success. Both of my children had positive experiences with both the high school and college level math programs. They are paced well and user friendly. And both kids scored well on the ACT after completing their math programs with Thinkwell.

The issue I had with Thinkwell is the same issue I had with Holt as a teacher. The questions are repetitive. There shouldn't be duplicate questions in an extra practice set of questions. That's bad coding or programming.

Prompt service and response to my question

Thinkwell calculus teaches the subject in small, very intellectually digestible bites. The 8-12 minute conceptual lectures is quickly followed by short problem assignments for reinforcement. Dr Burger's presentation of the material is as delightful (fun!) as it is rigorous. But do not be fooled...this is a serious treatment of the subject. Great lectures to teach calculus, or to augment a course you are enrolled in. Subjects are easily indexed for quick access (e.g. go straight to implicit differentiation lecture & problems). You can do homework problems as much as you like. The folks at Thinkwell are very responsive to any tech issues you might have. Well done!

Good experience so far. Try to let the kid do more.

fantastic program! easy to use and lessons are not too long.
