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.

Course 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.

My soon to be 5th grader just finished… My soon to be 5th grader just finished his second Time4writing course. I am so impressed with the program and the way, otherwise daunting assignments, are broken down into EASY steps. Our most recent course was Paragraph Writing. Descriptive and Narrative paragraphs come together with ease because of the simple breakdowns provided. Like all of us, we have been homeschooling through the pandemic. We have worked on writing using a variety of techniques, one of which being the writing "web" or brainstorming. The Time4Writing technique is more formulaic and very effective. Our summer plans changed a couple of times but we did not have a problem completing the course in the allotted time, so I did not find the program inflexible at all. In fact, we worked ahead a little because we were going camping and we were unsure about Wi-Fi availability. We just printed out the assignment ahead of time and worked in our notebook and then we transcribed the work when we got Wi-Fi access. The staff was so responsive and easy to work with. Thanks Time 4 Writing! I can't recommend Time4Writing enough.

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.
