Class was helpful I wish there was a way the student could chat in real time when he had a question. Otherwise, incorrect work may get submitted that causes a delay in moving forward. It took a while to get familiar with the layout of the program and tools. The next course should move along smoothly. I liked that the class could be extended for one week for free. I recommend this program and will enroll my middle schooler in the next writing course.

My daughter completed two courses last… My daughter completed two courses last year (7-8th grade). One course during the last school term and another to study during the summer. She was very excited about her course work, teacher interaction, and feedback. Her takeaway was enhanced writing skills, and a stronger desire to express herself in writing, which has led to her writing the draft for a book. This year she is enrolling in another course for the summer. We have had an excellent experience with the Time4Writing courses and teachers. My student was ready to learn how and about writing.

Even better than I had expected! I thought that this course was just what Sara needed to get her on her way towards incredible writing. Mrs.Nicole was extremely responsive, and her feedback exceptionally helpful. I am looking forward to my daughter's next course through here.

Not 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.

I would not suggest this course The problem is the marketing of this company encourages you to pay extra to extend the course by having your child lag behind. There is a free 7 day extension offered, but it will not be enough to finish. Although the writing process is good, the 8 week schedule puts pressure on the student to make them think they are behind. Keep in mind, regardless of the learning level, the child is not allowed to progress without receiving feedback from the teacher. With just a few days to completion, they won't be able to finish. Student course completion brings satisfaction, praise and encouragement. Unless you make a big complaint, you will pay quite a bit for a course the child never completed.
