This curriculum is an excellent option for homeschooling. My two sons work trough it independently. It is selfpaced , has quizzes, review tests and tests that are graded automatically. As a parent I can see on my dashboard how they are working through the lessons, their grades and all the lessons in case I need to help them
Besides if they are stuck in some lesson or problem ( which never has happened) they can get help from a teacher. The teacher is very engaging, lesson videos are short with thorough explanations.
My two sons have been working math with this curriculum for 4 years now including highschool honors courses and they are doing excellent in math. Totally recommend using this curriculum.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, and for being with us for 4 years! That means more than you know.
We love hearing that your sons are able to work independently while you still have clear visibility through the parent dashboard. That balance of student ownership and parent insight is something we’ve been intentional about building into the platform.
It’s also wonderful to hear that the lessons, automatic grading, and teacher support have served your family well. We’re so proud to be part of their math journey and grateful for your recommendation!
I grew up
Hating and avoiding math for my entire educational career in high school and university. I am now a retired 68 year old who is enjoying learning what I spent my lifetime avoiding. An extremely terrific mental exercise!

We’re so glad our team was able to jump in quickly and help when you couldn’t find your login information. We’re always here if you need anything!
Explains math so my son can understand and gives him the autonomy to complete on his own. Great video lessons. Let's me know his progress and grade. Highly recommend. Will use for my other children.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review!
We’re thrilled to hear the lessons are helping your son truly understand the material while giving him the independence to work on his own. We’re also glad the progress tracking gives you helpful insight along the way. We’d be honored to support your other children when the time comes. Thank you for your recommendation!
My daughter had to take an Algebra class last summer and Thinkwell was recommended to her. It totally served a purpose and she was able to get through it! I’m giving it 5 stars for the trustworthiness of it, but if I had to rate it on how much my daughter cringed at the teacher’s jokes, I’d probably have to knock it down a Star. 😆

This made us smile — thank you for sharing it!
We’re so glad Thinkwell helped your daughter successfully get through her Algebra course last summer. Hearing that you found the program trustworthy and effective means a great deal to us.
As for the teacher jokes… we’ll let Prof B know he’s walking a fine line between “engaging” and “cringe.” 😄 Either way, we’re thrilled it served its purpose, and we appreciate the 5 stars!
Absolutely love this platform and service! I think Edward Burger does an excellent job teaching and the video tutorials are incredibly helpful. Thinkwell provides everything your child needs to be successful in math!

Frustrating and So Much Wasted Time
Every lesson takes more than 2 hours minimum. I have to spend extra time trying to figure out the things they didn't explain. The video will give an example problem, but then the practice will throw something in there that they didn't talk about. You just have to figure it out. And also, I waste a lot of time researching how to use my graphing calculator. It would be nice if they helped with that. The worst part is the reviews before the quizzes. The questions are unnecessary hard compared to the quiz, and while they are solvable, they take forever to get through. My other curriculums hardly ever take over an hour. So much time is wasted, confusing explanations, and unexplained problems contribute to a frustrating Algebra 2 course.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience with Algebra 2 has been frustrating.
Two hours per lesson — especially when paired with confusion — is not the experience we aim to create. Our goal is clarity, efficiency, and strong preparation, so it’s concerning to hear that the practice felt misaligned with the videos and that calculator support added extra stress. That’s helpful feedback for us.
The cumulative reviews are intentionally designed to stretch students a bit beyond the quiz level to build mastery, but they should never feel unnecessarily discouraging or overwhelming. If that’s happening, we want to understand why.

Prof Burger is a fantastic teacher. His clear instruction and the format work well for my son. I took off 1 star due to a computer programming (?) issue, which has been frustrating and discouraging at times. For instance, sometimes an answer requires a zero in front of the decimal point (i.e 0.3), or it is is incorrect. Other times it will only accept .3 (no zero) as the correct way to type the answer. There seems to be no consistency or rhyme / reason for this. It’s not specified in the question instructions, nor in the teaching videos / concept or worksheets — it seems to go both ways at times. However, the online program will only accept one way as the correct answer, and there’s no way to tell which way it wants. It’s very random and inconsistent, and it affects his score / grade even though he gets the correct answer. I think this should be cleaned up.
Thinkwell is quick to answer any questions or solve any issues. They are very responsive. The teacher is funny and clearly an expert on the content. It has been a great benefit to our homeschooling
Professor Burger said, "sexy" for no reason during my video lessons and failed to teach me how to turn a trinomial like 2x^2+7x-3 into a factored (2x+1)(x-3), It's been 2 years since I finished this course and I'm still mad at him. Thinkwell is also automatically taking money from me every month WITHOUT MY PERMISSION to "ConTinUe to hAvE aCceSs to tHe CoURse." I only see an email every month, saying, "Thank you for your purchase!" Very annoying course, very annoying teacher, I WANT OUT.
Great customer service and even better lessons. So thankful I found thinkwell! My kids are learning so much and doing so well. I love the layout and design of the programs. All four of mine will be using you guys for Math for 8-12th grades!
This program is the best math program for homeschoolers. My daughter is in the Honors 7th-grade course, and it's challenging. The video explanations and the AI tutor are a great help. My daughter loves this program, and so do I.
Excellent experience. Yet there are some minor typos in materials.
I am 50 years old on the way to change my career. New path requires stronger foundation in math that I remember in combination with language ( I am from Kazakhstan). I found these corses perfect to refresh knowledge. Though I find the courses to be expensive. Team have been super responsive to my needs. I love these team! Professor is great and thorough.
