For my oldest daughter, math has always been a challenge and having homeschooled 10 years, we have tried several different math curriculum’s to try and figure out the best one. Recently, we had the chance to try A+ TutorSoft Online Pre-Algebra. The first day my daughter worked on it, she turned to me and said, “Mom, I think I can do this!” For a positive comment to come out of my daughter’s mouth so quickly, truly made me happy.
The first thing you do when you buy the online curriculum, is set up an account for your student. You will give them a log-in and a password. The student is then able to log-in and begin the work. The student has problems that they can work out. They also can listen to someone explain how to the work as well. If the student needs more help, there are worksheets that you can download for them to work on.
One of the things I like most about this, it is uses audio, computer animated visuals and text to help teach the math. It also has an interactive review to help not only the student, but the parent as well, so the parent can also help the student. Go watch this video that explains just what all A+ TutorSoft offers.
Do you know what else I like about A+ TutorSoft? The owners of this wonderful program and how committed they are to their product. When I began looking for another math program, I e-mailed Vinod Agrawal and he responded in a very timely manner. Not only did he email me, he also called me so that I could ask him questions regarding the online program.
Are you worried about spending money and the program not working for you? You don’t have to worry about that! They will give you a free one month online subscription! Just sign up here!

Overall, my oldest daughter and I really like A+ Tutor Soft a lot. I am excited to see that they have an Algebra course for when we finish Pre-Algebra. It is really nice to see my daughter not put off doing her math now. While she still doesn’t care much for the subject math, it is no longer a struggle getting her to do her math. For that, I am grateful.
**disclaimer: I was given a trial subscription of the A+ TutorSoft Online Pre-Algebra. All opinions expressed are my own. No other compensation was given.
Three months later, what do you think of this math? I need to find something new for fall for both kids. I keep going between Saxon with the DVD’s and Teaching Textbooks – both are so expensive though…
Lynnea, I sent you an email on this! 🙂
I would also like to hear what you think about this software compared to Teaching Textbooks or Math u see. I’m stressing myself out over what program to go with. I’d appreciate any input!
Thanks
Hi Jill! I have never used Math-U-See, so I can not compare to it. We have used Teaching Textbooks, but without their cd’s. So I can not give an accurate comparison with Teaching Textbooks. I really liked Teaching Textbooks, but just could not afford to buy their cd’s. So that is one of the reasons we went with A+ TutorSoft. My daughter enjoys using the A+ TutorSoft curriculum. If she has any complaints about the curriculum, it is the voice that is explaining the material. Other than that, she likes it, because they do explain it to where she can understand it and she doesn’t need to keep asking me when she needs help. I hope this helps you out. Let me know if you have any specific questions. I also have a discount that you can use for 20% off, if you look on the right hand side of my blog. Just scroll down to the picture of A+ TutorSoft.
Lovely review, Joy. My son has also struggled with every maths curriculum we have tried, although Singapore worked well for a long time, till we hit book 5B! I am NOT a mathy person at all and just couldn’t help him, as the math concepts had got beyond my understanding. I was so desperate and heard about A+ Tutor Soft in a Currclick Newsletter. I got the free sample and we have been so impressed. My son goes online by himself everyday, and understands what he is doing! He is doing Pre-Algebra. It is such a relief, after so many days and weeks of tears. I am impressed with all the service the company offers. Everything is so easy to find, and they show you everything upfront in the free trial, so you don’t even waste money. I would recommend it for anyone who is struggling with Maths. I might even give it a try myself.
