GBNot for us, unfortunately. This site is really hard to navigate and I don't have easy access to many things like the feedback from her work and things like that. It's either that or it is just way to basic. I can't decide. On my daughter's end, she completes each week in minutes. It seems too easy. I am considering choosing another method for writing. This isn't it for us. In response to the reply from T4W. We understand that we can switch classes. I had my daughter do the assessment twice to confirm placement. She gets 100%s on the work and then the things the teacher grades averaged at like a 93%. So, she knows some stuff, but has a little room for growth. Unfortunately, we have gotten sparse (and frankly unhelpful) feedback. She resubmitted something to make a correction and then the teacher lit up her work with red. Why didn't we get to see that the first time? She was told not to bother with resubmitting again. So, she has to hit it the first time and cannot learn from her mistakes? Also, we are waiting a full day for two sentences of feedback. It's a wonder why we even bother. By then, it's a new day and her brain has already moved through several other subjects. Point blank, this isn't for us and I have put in for a refund. I wish I loved it. I do. And I shouldn't have to log in as my student to navigate the site properly. I just should not. It is a really basic and lackluster site unfortunately. With what Time4Learning looks like, I really expected much better.

DESupplemental Education Due to the pandemic, I had concerns about my daughter's academic progress. Time4Writing has been a great supplement to her education. I highly recommend it.

GBPoor program This program was a waste of money. My daughter was unable to submit assignments most days. She was blocked by a screen that says she was waiting for feedback. The teacher's feedback told her she had many mistakes and submit again with no offer of help to identify problems leading to all the mistakes. Teacher suggested she was not following instructions but she was having a hard time navigating the system. She got sad and discouraged. We came to the program because she needed help to learn how to write sentences. Time4writing was not helpful. The layout is also poor with tiny fonts hard to read.

GBCourse Structured Improperly Everything seem good except for one thing which really impacted us: the cause progression is tightly controlled on a 24-hour cycle between what a student does and the feedback from his or her teacher, so the student really can't do anything before the feedback is received. My son wasted a lot of time every day waiting for the cause on the web to open up so that he could proceed in the course. Really not a good way to structure a course! Unless this issue get fixed, we don't plan to take any course again.

JPA well executed program I enrolled my child for this course again this year ( High School Writing Research Papers ).Last year we completed the Middle School Advanced Essay writing course. It has been a great experience. The user interface is simple and very easy to use - for both parents and children. The support team is prompt in their response and very helpful. The teachers are professional and really help students with detailed and useful feedback. A well executed program! I would happily enroll my child again next year.
