PersonalProfessors.com
This wonderful pre-college online community is a
great way for your teens to do their math and science work with an interactive
module. They hold live lectures, and also archive these lectures so that you don’t
have to worry about missing a class. For each subject area, they host continuous
discussions moderated by their faculty, where they also post 'homework'
questions and links to related sites. These discussions are open 24 hours a day,
7 days a week. The faculty also holds two live office hours each week for each
subject, so students always know they have their teacher available to answer
their questions. PersonalProfessors.com currently delivers full courses of
instruction in California Biology, Algebra and Geometry. The classes are very
affordable at just $40 a month per class. To enroll, visit: http://www.personalprofessors.com
“I liked all of it! But I
have to say that the Commons area was the highlight due to being able to chat
with the instructor right there...live after each class and whenever you need
to. The Virtual Classroom was a hit as well as the discussion
boards! I most definitely enjoyed this product! After viewing several
of the archived lessons in Algebra and Biology this would be a product that I
would definitely be using in confidence with both of my children. It's
trustworthy, the instructors are very knowledgeable in their fields of expertise
and this will help me with the teaching of upper-level maths and
sciences. Although I am very comfortable with teaching the science
portions, it always helps to get another perspective. I very HIGHLY
recommend this product!!” – T.S. Springtown, TX.
“Highly interactive. I was able
to chat live with Dr. Hosking. He used a white board and I could audibly hear
him speak. If I connected a microphone, I could interact this way as well.”
–D.A. Jacksonville, FL.
“The professors are very
knowledgeable. They have realtime lectures and have office hours that are
available for the students… It is really amazing how they use the whiteboard
and the entire site is set up for maximum use for the students. This product, I
feel, is one of a kind. There is nothing like it.” – M.S. Lancaster, OH.
“This interactive web-site is
under the oversight of well-trained educators in the fields of science and math
who know how to interact with students and parents. Their explanations are
well thought out and they show patience in all their interactions. It is an
excellent resource to aid those needing help in these high school math and
science courses. I feel the technology of the site was one, which allowed for
interaction and feedback in a timely manner rather than waiting for e-mails to
be answered. The ability to interact with other homeschoolers on the
discussion board make it a "family" feel and that we are not alone in
our endeavors. I believe it is an excellent resource.” – L.P.
