As a 48 year old man relearning these lessons that I haven't covered in about 30 plus years is very easy to follow.Im learning to teach my daughter.

Math has NEVER made sense to me. In recent years I have found it to be easier, this first lesson is helping me gain confidence that I actually can do this!!! At 76 I want to go back to college and take geology courses. Who knew dirt and rocks involved Math!!! Thank You

I left this rating because I love how they explained and made it more easier to understand then how they do in schools.
By Chantay Shelley on 11/16/2020
Yes, excellent course! I love the way Matthew takes complicated things and make them simple. I would recommend this course.
By Norma Thomas on 10/12/2020
Yes, it is avery good course so far. It has worksheets with every lesson and very good explanations. I felt it was very thorough for a homeschool curriculum.
By Gaberiel Alfrey on 10/8/2020
the lessons are good but sometimes feel like they move too slow and then all the sudden jump steps and it is confusing.
By Dalan Decker on 5/9/2020
Matthew is a good, clear, and thorough teacher, and responds very quickly to my notes of confusion. I managed to learn none of this in high school, and fell flat on my face in General Chemistry 2 in university. Now I know I should have taken this course first.

Helped my little brother a lot to improve in school, would recommend this to anyone struggling in math
