ThinkwellReviews of thinkwellhomeschool.com

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.

Having to wait forever to receive my book for the class that I am taking.

So I’m currently a student at a curriculum that uses the math program as an external source. Its great, the explanations in the videos and providing of notes is good, but sometimes the actual questions themselves DONT LINE UP WITH THE VIDEO! COME ON! They explained a much simpler way in the video (for example the solving literal equations lesson) but the questions??? The questions don’t even line up sometimes! It doesnt make sense and just makes everything more confusing! I really like this external source but come on, you can do better than this.

It took a long time to receive the workbook and teachers manual. We started online and printed what we needed for the first 2 weeks of school, but it would have been nice to have all we paid for at the start.

Good program overall. It is just getting way too expensive and hard to afford.

His progress from the trial period has not carried over.

I really liked how last year's Thinkwell looked for everything on-line and everything has changed this year. We don't like it at all! It's a lot harder to find what to do and when. I don't like at all that you now have to answer all the questions at once before you find out how you did on it (for Algebra 2). We really valued the immediate feedback on each question as they were answered previously. It takes a lot longer to now find how the lessons are done and they don't automatically come up to the next screen (or have them all on one screen like before). It was so much better to have each lesson on a single screen (video, then practice problems, then homework). While the new site is a little similar, the look and feel of it isn't as good as it was before.

The page to add my purchase for a class to the cart would not work as long as I had tutoring/live office hours select at the $35 price. When I removed it, the purchase proceeded. Now to add that after the fact, it is $89. I believe this is a technical glitch, but it made the purchase slow and I missed out on a lower price for tutoring, it would appear. Live tech support tried to assist prior to the purchase, but admitted it is a likely technical issue.
