Anyone Used Home Ed Expert?

[Sebastian (a lady)]

I got a link to Home Ed Expert from a homeschooling group I'm part of. It looks interesting. In theory, you answer a set of questions about your teaching style, student learning style and curriculum preferences and it suggests curriculum that might be of interest.

 

The teaching style survey reminds me of one that is in the 100 Top Picks for Homeschooling book. (It probably is, since she is a consultant for the site.) Obviously, they are hoping that you then order through them.

 

I've done the teaching style survey and plugged in info for one kid. I was surprised by some of what is suggested, but more surprised by what isn't listed (ie, most of what I actually use and like using). I'm not sure if that is because of how I answered the questions or something related to what material they are selling (for example, there are several major curriculum designers who only sell their product through their own company).

 

Anyone else use this?

I have used the product in the last year with great results. I had spent a lot of time finding my children's learning style but for got my teaching style. I moved my youngest son from Saxon to Horizons and it was one of the great moments when you KNOW you have made the right choice. BUT there newest addition is you put in the book name and it gives you 5 to six places to buy from cheapest to most expensive. I have saved two hundred dollars for this year.

This and one other site are the only places I've seen a review for this. Frankly, I'm skeptical at anything that baits me in and after I've registered requires a fee. That added to the lack of info ANYWHERE on the web outside of this one comment, one blog and the site itself make me feel like this is a scam. If anyone can offer more detail or if you've used it, please let me know.
