Recently, I was given a tour of LIVE Online Math by John Bovey. The LIVE classes have several choices of upper level math. The classes start at Pre-Pre-Algebra and go through Algebra II. I was able to participate in two of the Pre-Algebra classes, and I was very impressed with the technology of the online classroom. I was also impressed with the discussions and teaching time. The students are able to use a headset to talk to the instructor and ask questions about concepts they do not understand. As a homeschool mom, I know it is hard to remember all the reasons why you do certain things in algebra. The whiteboard technology allows the instructor to write on the board in real-time for the students. The students also have the ability, when the instructor chooses, to write on the board or mark where they do not understand the problem. If you are feeling like your student needs more for upper level math courses, I would recommend you check out LIVE Online Math!
If your student cannot commit to the weekly classes, LIVE Online Math also offers video courses. You can sign up for a free two-week trial for the pre-algebra class here.
Editing to add some info about pricing:
The video courses are $99.99 for the course (12 months of access), not per semester. The Video-Pluscourses are $99.99 per semester and we have one weekly LIVE session with those. So, basically it’s LIVE classes (3X per week), Video-Pluscourses (video course, plus 1 session each week), and Video Courses (just a video course with no live component).
I was not compensated for this review. It is an honest representation of my experience.
