GREAT COURSE!!! Especially the Order of Operations for me

Chloe Grace

I just got this course and it has literally answered YEARS of questions I've had about the order of operations........why is this the first time there is a clear course online about this?! You won't find this level of depth on YouTube videos that's for sure. I know how to do the basics but this course goes BEYOND and gives you all these little scenarios that definitely stumped me but Tanya works through each problem beautifully and at a comfortable pace. Some of the practice problems are like brain teasers as well, I love it!

It was really awesome!

"It was awesome because the examples were really clear and the illustrations were neat." - this is the review coming from my 10-year old son. He really enjoys it and so do I; I am really glad I found this, thank you so much!!

Learning practical math basics as an adult in a fun way

Jessica Gao

Easy to digest clips that are accompanied by a comprehensive textbook. The instructor Tanya feels more like a friend than a teacher, and explains math concepts clearly and efficiently. The visuals and tricks are really helpful for me to relearn some of the math basics that I will be using in winemaking. We do a lot of calculations along with stoichiometry, and I didn't want to enroll in a college math course for that bc it is way more $$ and more time consuming. This gave me quick tools to solve math problems within chemistry, especially with decimals + fractions. Very approachable and I love the overall aesthetic. Makes it fun and not like work! She frames math as creative problem solving (which it is) and the practical examples shows you how useful it is to fully understand math. Also it's great to go at your own pace or I like to sneak a clip or two in before bed.

Great work.

Bruce Frank

I am an older student (56 years old) who is back in college taking business courses. I’m currently in Business Computations. Your new techniques are very intuitive and make basic math easier. Thank you.
