I have just started homeschooling my 9 year old. I also work; running my own company, and don't have a great deal of time, so wanted something that would consolidate everything that he is interested in learning, and give us access to the basics - Maths, English, Science. Initially I really found the website overwhelming and do think it could do with a more user-friendly overhaul. It has so much information on it, and you can get to pages several different ways. There are also several different areas, and rather than clarify things, it makes it confusing. Some lessons were not showing up, so I emailed as I'd become frustrated with the online bot not helping at all. Customer service turned me from 'about to cancel membership,' to 'I'm giving this a chance.' Emma, Lisa and Arvin helped me, with Emma sending loads of useful info, consolidated for ease. The site has some great lessons, a huge amount of apps, and it is vast. Will still take a while to get to grips with and I prefer hands on teaching things, but it is a great resource for when you need ideas, material and the child to do some independent learning. Also have live videos and suchlike to access.
