What Parents Are Saying...
"If you are looking for an antidote to the "drill & kill" method of teaching math, Thinkwell is for you! Dr. Burger is by far one of the most straightforward, concise and engaging Math professors we've had. After trying and failing with 3 different well-known and expensive math curriculums over the course of 6 months, we came across Thinkwell Algebra. My son went from being confused and weary to encouraged and self-motivated. He was able to get through one semester of Algebra in 3 months! It has made all the difference in the world in his daily math routine. We will continue to use and recommend Thinkwell, and have purchased Geometry and Physics for next year."
– CEG
"We absolutely love Thinkwell. The program is plug and play so the kids can work independently without parental involvement. The curriculum is thorough and comprehensive and has bolstered my kids' understanding over the years. It is easily a strong enough platform to be THE MAIN and ONLY math program and will give kids a rock solid foundation. The professor is entertaining and articulates the material very clearly. Thinkwell is an EXCELLENT PROGRAM THAT WE USE YEAR AFTER YEAR!!!””
– Karen D
"My highschool students are using Thinkwell Algebra and PreAlgebra this year in our homeschool. This is our first experience with this product and I have to say I am impressed. Both of my son and my daughter enjoy Professor Burger's method of teaching and his lighthearted delivery. My kids have asked me not to switch from Thinkwell as their main curriculum. As a parent I appreciate that I don't have to beg my children to do math. They do it on their own with no complaints. That is a huge compliment in itself.”
