Taylor Made Science There are big differences between high school and college science classes. Make sure your teenager has a good foundation before they begin college or dual enrollment. Cheryl is organized, and will guide your kids through labs. She will teach them to write lab reports. The classes are live, so there will be discussion (we love that critical thinking!), quizzes, and texts. Kids work through a textbook, and will read and complete the entire textbook in a year, while working through guided note pages Cheryl has created for each course.
Mr. D Math and More Parents love this program, as it is live teaching. If you child could use more hand-holding, and you want to ensure they keep the pace through their math, this is for you. They now offer other subjects as well.
