klmama Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I am considering Derek Owens, but I just came across MathHelp.com; it looks like it could be good, too. It used to be called YourTeacher.com. Has any here used it? Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveswife Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) My son used it for Algebra 2 a few years ago, and it was a hit! He'd completed MUS Algebra 1 and Geometry, but wanted a curriculum with daily, not weekly videos. I also purchased a cheap textbook to use for reference (Introductory and Intermediate Algebra for College Students by Blitzer). I purchased the subscription to MathHelp through a group buy at the Homeschool Buyers Co-op with a nice discount. I do have to say that the course is fairly short, though covers the Common Core standards. My son was able to complete it in just a few months, which was our goal at that time (I'd had him do an Algebra 1 review for the first half of that year, because he felt like he'd forgotten much of it during the previous year when he did Geometry).

foxbridgeacademy Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I liked it but my kids didn't, the guy is rather monotonous, I purchased the App on ipad (may be on Androids now too) for like $10. DS much prefers Thinkwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetC Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 YourTeacher used to be a summer freebie on Homeschool Buyers Coop. I agree the guy is monotonous, but the lessons are well-organized. I used the free summer offer to push last few math topics one year, but never used it as a main curriculum. I think a class where a human reads your work and gives feedback would be better.

Yes, that's definitely true if you want a course where you need to be hands-off. MathHelp has worksheets in addition to the few automatically graded problems. I marked the worksheets and provided any additional teaching my son needed, but I wasn't looking to outsource. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
