    Online Writing program: ATTUNEUP

    in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges

    Posted

    I will send you my math tutor's info as a message...

     

    I was really interested in continuing Attuneup but we have a schedule conflict and are unavailable on Thursdays for their live classes. I like the feedback my daughter is getting from Amy, it is honing in on the skills we have to continue working on.

     

    Regarding Inspired Scholar, we are on week 2,and I like what I see so far. My dd had to turn in a summary about an author that they are reading. I'm interested in receiving the feedback. The class is small, 5 kids, so a lot of opportunities to engage. I am hopeful that we will get what we've been looking for in terms of an online lit/writing class. We've had lots of different experiences.

    Yes we are, however we just started Inspired Scholar last week so by the time they will be writing Attuneup will be over. My daughter has enjoyed all of the different writing assignments for Attuneup.

     

    We sort of outsource math with a tutor via Skype. She works with DD primarily on challenging word problems and intensive practice word problems from Singapore - and any other topic she needs extra help with, meaning anything else mom can't teach!! We used to work with Cybershala but had problems with several teachers. Our math tutor is excellent - very professional - dd enjoys working with her.

     

    We are also enjoying Uzzingo as a science supplement .

    I agree that outsourcing is a wonderful addition and resource, as long as it is the right class. Just as an FYI, We are beginning a new online class today by Inspired Scholar, Renee Metcalf is the instructor. We will be taking Literary Adventures which is a combination of literature and writing (writing from an IEW perspective). We are looking forward to it, hopefully a rich conversation about the literature. I like that there is a writing component to the books that the students will be reading.

    I'm looking for more of a challenging online environment for my dd. We've done Athena's and online g3 and they are okay, not very challenging though. I'm curious about Landry bc the courses are taught by people who specialize in the subject matter. If your dc have taken courses please share your thoughts. I'm really interested in their science courses. How religious is the environment?

    Homebuyers co-op is featuring this program with what appears to be a great price - Can anybody share their experiences. For a kid who loves science and craves so much of it is this program worth it? Is it a challenging program that goes in depth in the topics? Is one program better than another , ie. life science vs chemistry vs biology?

     

    Any info is greatly appreciated.

    We used Cybershala for approximately 6 months and went through 3 different teachers. The owner is very receptive and a kind person, however her teachers were very unprofessional. The teachers were no shows, they didn't even send an email apologizing. One was a no show and then wrote two weeks later wondering about the assignment for class. It was so frustrating, esp for my dd who learned a valuable lesson about unprofessional behavior. It was too bad because it was relatively inexpensive.

     

    However, this negative exp turned positive because I researched online and found another math teacher whom we skype with and who teaches using singapore math. She works on Intensive Practice and Challenging Word Problems. My daughter loves her and she is very professional and has always been on time. Btw her fee is very reasonable, we work with her 2x per week. Let me know if you'd like her info.
