Your Private Tutor

People frequently ask us if we are a complete curriculum. The answer is no. We are an automated private-tutor providing customized worksheets for your students. These worksheets are taken on-line, so we can record each student's results and predict his or her future performance. We are supplemental to your primary curriculum.

We are quick and to the point, so as not to waste the student's time. We have thousands of graphics and illustrations but they are not to entertain, but to inform. The goal is to get the core facts taught and reviewed as quickly as possible. We only provide our worksheets on-line in order to remember every correct and incorrect answer. We use this knowledge to predict what the student is most likely to forget next and to craft a highly personalized worksheet.

We do award trophies as students progress through the system in order to mark progress. These trophies are displayed in the student's trophy room and provide motivation and a little entertainment. We are not edutainment. We are more like an intelligent flash card.

Student forget 80% or more of what they learn in just 30 days, with us as their tutor they can retain and recall it all.

We tutor on tens of thousands of facts covering Geography, History, Math, Science, Social Studies, Spanish, Spelling, and Vocabulary. Worksheets are customized for each specific student on each specific day, customized based on what is assigned and on what the student is most likely to forget without immediate review.

A few very narrowly focused subjects such as spelling are covered so completely that no additional curriculum is required.

We provide detailed daily status reports to track progress, and even generate detailed transcripts listing everything the students have learned.

A white-paper called "Seven Secretes to Creating Brilliant Students" describes our research-supported approach to knowledge retention and recall, it is free: http://www.homeschooladvantage.com/info_pages/iview/About
