Khan Academy works Miracles

Earlier this year, I mentioned an online tutoring site that was completely free. Now I have a little more insight into how it works and how well it works. It is so easy to add children to your account as an adult so that you can monitor your child's progress.

When I made up my children's accounts, it allowed me to be their coach. This way I have access to everything that my children are watching and practicing on Khan Academy. My children have fallen in love with the methods of teaching used by Khan Academy.

I have three daughters who now fight over who gets to go on Khan Academy instead of who gets to play the Wii first. My eldest spends at least an hour a day on Khan Academy and is even beginning to enjoy social studies. Miracles can happen. My middle daughter has significantly improved her basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. I am now confident that she will be able to keep up with her peers as she enters middle school.
